Minority-Serving Institutions: Doing More with Less

Abstract

This report shares new and updated data on the fiscal realities facing Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) compared to other institutions, despite enrolling many of the nation’s neediest students. It also highlights the efforts of several MSIs from the Lumina MSI-Models of Success program to improve the educational experience and outcomes of their students—notwithstanding the fact these institutions are under-resourced, which impacts their ability to provide a full range of academic offerings and supports.
