"The CUE Equity Model represents a huge step forward in the UW system’s attempt to make meaningful change in how we address the achievement gap for students of color in our institutions."

"To have this conversation about race, we have to find and lift up what works. I have been so impressed by the work of USC’s Center for Urban Education; it just makes all the difference in the world. They are providing the tools we need to talk about race and equity in a productive manner."

"We’ve used the CUE Equity Model to convince faculty and staff of the need for change, to provide a structure of accountability and to stimulate discussion and action. It has helped us transform the institution, effecting measurable outcomes across multiple departments and programs."

"The Equity Scorecard is fundamental to our work as an educational institution. Each one of us, whether we are staff, faculty or administrators, plays a crucial role in the success of our students."

"I have to say in the past 10 years the amount of work CUE has done has really opened so many doors to so many students who otherwise would not get that opportunity. You really put the E in equity for all of us."

"Through the California Benchmarking Project, we have learned that data obtained using the CUE tools, inquiry processes and Equity Model provides an invaluable foundation for equity-based assessments that lead to decisions that are supporting a cultural change on our campus."

"The changes that were brought about by our participation in the Diversity Scorecard Project were profound. Over 85% of the incoming freshmen at Cal State LA are in need of some type of remediation in English and/or Math. Therefore, if we are to level the playing field for our students to gain access to a college degree [...] we must remove all obstacles for students to pass through these “gateway” courses. The Diversity Scorecard Project definitely helped us to get there."

"Everyone talks about data-driven decision-making. CUE is successful at using data with colleges and systems to change the way we do business."

"UW institutions are using CUE’s Equity Scorecard™ as a multidisciplinary process of sustained inquiry. They are using disaggregated data to identify more refined pathways and strategies for eliminating inequities in educational opportunities and outcomes."

"As a community college president, I have an obligation to ensure all students are successful. If a large number of students are not progressing through basic skills courses and moving on to transfer level courses, we as an institution need to figure out what is happening and why. We need to find out what obstacles are impeding progress and make change happen institution-wide"
