Charge of the Immigration & Higher Education Study Committee
The Citizens League Immigration & Higher Education Study Committee will attempt to answer the following key questions:
What are the most important facts and trends about immigration & higher education in Minnesota? For example:- What are our best estimates of the number of immigrant students in Minnesota's K-12 and higher education systems? Where are they coming from? What types of immigration status do they have?
- How well are immigrant students performing? How well are they performing in the crucial areas of math, science and technology?
- What challenges do immigrant students face? Are different immigrant groups facing different challenges? Are some immigrant groups more likely to participate in higher education than others?
Given these facts and trends, what are the critical choices and policy issues facing Minnesota?
- What questions do these facts and trends raise about public policies?
- What do these facts and trends say about the roles of government, foundations, families and other institutions?
- What are our top priorities in addressing these issues?
