Welcome
Thank you for visiting our website. We hope it gives you a clear sense of our values and how you can use our work to achieve equity on your campus. At CUE, we are dedicated to conducting research that makes a difference. We’ve pioneered a multi-disciplined inquiry approach that is helping higher education institutions across the country become more accountable to students from underserved racial and ethnic communities. We publish reports and papers on a range of topics related to equity and accountability, the appropriate use of inquiry methods, the transformation of institutional data into useable knowledge, and the role of faculty and administrators in organizational change. If you have any questions, please give us a call at (213) 740-5202 or email us at rossier.cue@usc.edu.
The Center for Urban Education (CUE) leads socially conscious research and develops tools needed for institutions of higher education to produce equity in student outcomes.
