ASHE-NITE REPORT SERIES
The National Institute for Transformation and Equity (NITE) and ASHE are partnering to launch an ASHE-NITE Report Series, which will include a collection of national reports on critical underserved populations in postsecondary education. Emerging and established researchers will collaborate as a team to contribute a set of white papers documenting promising practices for creating equitable and inclusive campus environments to build consensus in the field about key concepts, findings, and gaps. Additionally, the white papers will offer actionable steps institutional leaders can take to implement these practices and propose future research needs to realize equity and inclusion for minoritized and often forgotten populations.
GOALS OF THE COLLABORATION
The overarching aim of the reports is to synthesize existing knowledge about how to create inclusive and equitable campus environments for underserved populations, and provide recommendations for higher education research, policy, and practice. Specifically, the series will include a total of 5 reports, each focusing on a particular student population: (1) racially minoritized adult learner, (2) low-income and first-generation, (3) Indigenous, (4) immigrant and refugee, and (5) (formerly) incarcerated students.

PLANNED DELIVERABLES FOR THE COLLABORATION
With support from the Lumina Foundation, the Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE) and the National Institute for Transformation and Equity are publishing a report series that will focus on underserved student populations (indigenous, formerly and currently incarcerated, immigrant and refugee, low-income and first-generation, and racially minoritized adult learners). These reports utilize critically-conscious and equity-minded perspectives to analyze these critical populations. The reports will address the sociopolitical contexts that shape the experiences of these students, as well as provide actionable steps policymakers and practitioners can take to facilitate transformation to better support and maximize success among these populations.
