Our Hispanic-serving Institution Task Force has worked to produce an evidence-based report with key recommendations for how UCLA can reach and maintain HSI status, including directing efforts and resources toward improving admission, yield and retention rates for Latinx students and making UCLA a more affordable option for Latinx individuals and those from low-income backgrounds. In the next several years, we will partner with units across campus to help us achieve this goal.
