Louisiana Prospers: "Driving Our Talent Imperative"
Louisiana Board of Regents
Higher education in Louisiana faces the consequences of a decade of disinvestment, radically reducing state support for colleges and universities and disproportionately shifting the funding burden to students and their parents. The consequences of this defunding hobbled the public institutions for a generation, just as excessive student debt burdens a generation of students as they make their way in the world. The Board of Regents is determined to make the next decade different from the last, changing higher education in more substantial ways than just reinvestment. To move Louisiana aggressively forward, the Board of Regents has embraced a robust new attainment goal that calls for 60% of all working-age adults (ages 25-64) in Louisiana to hold a degree or high-value credential by 2030. Standing on the brink of a new decade, this Master Plan, born of the Board of Regents' unique charge to guide postsecondary education across the state, will set the foundation to increase opportunity. The Master Plan envisions a focus on postsecondary talent development that disrupts the standard approach to evolve rapidly into a Prosperity Pipeline for all Louisiana residents. Aligned with the 21st-century needs and a technological, STEM based future, such an approach will require innovative thinking, transformative actions, and deep engagement. Louisiana must educate, innovate and collaborate to drive dramatic change. This demands a laser focus on results, grounded in a mission to serve the people of this state and advocate for talent development.
