Read the latest edition of Inside Higher Education’s report of their survey of college and university admissions directors. Review a few archives of Inside Higher
Education’s admissions section of their website. Additionally, review the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) website.
Locate two primary sources of interest you will use for your final admission policy report (e.g., a policy report, statistical trends, discussion papers, research
reports, etc.).
Identify and assess the types of policies that are most likely to help students overcome barriers to higher education. Consider how the interventions and
perspectives listed in those reports intersect with the policies designed to increase college students’ preparation for higher education. Review Chapter 4 of Public
Policy and Higher Education for examples of those policies (e.g., AP program, CEEB, etc.).
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
a. Describe the intended outcomes of the policy on student attainment, retention, and completion. Consider the current state of the institution; what are
some reasons for implementing this policy? What are the potential impacts to the institution if the policy is not implemented? How might the policy alter
the current state of the institution?
b. Analyze the impact of institutional operations for increasing enrollment, retention, and completion through implementation of this policy.
c. Describe how this policy may have an impact on the future demographics of the institution. What are the key considerations of the stakeholders,
culture, enrollment, retention, and completion regarding future demographics of the institution?
Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as a two- to three-page (plus a cover sheet and reference page) Microsoft Word document with
double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and at least two sources cited in APA format (following the APA Manual 6th Edition). Ensure
that the cover sheet and reference page are also in in APA format.

The Morrill Land-Grant Acts had the most significant positive impact on students’ access to higher education. This is because this act made it possible for the new states in the west to put up colleges for their students. The institutions that were established gave a chance to a lot of farmers and other working-class people who could not previously access higher education. Since the land was the most readily available resource, it was given for these states to establish colleges. According to Christy (2017), even though some individuals misused the earnings from those lands, the Morrill land-grant Act gave the foundation of a national system of state colleges and universities. Finances from the lands even helped existing institutions, helped build new institutions, and other states were able to charter new schools.
Grutter v. Bollinger & Gratz v. Bollinger had the most influence in shaping how higher education institutions recruit and retain students from diverse backgrounds. This is because this ruling recognizes the benefits of diversity in education and validates any reasonable means which can be used to achieve that diversity. The verdict is even supported by a lot of studies which show that student body diversity promotes learning outcomes, and ‘better prepares students for an increasingly diverse workforce and society…'” (The Civil Rights Project, 2010). Grutter vs. Bollinger laid a foundation for the diversity we see today in universities and colleges. Garces (2012) asserts that in our current world, which is diverse, access to higher education is what determines our legitimacy and strength. This all has been made possible by the Grutter v. Bollinger & Gratz v. Bollinger. The ruling helped break down stereotypes and for students to understand others from different races.
