This includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Conducting equity mindedness training for more than 600 participants.<\/li>\n<li>Reforming registration holds that prevent students from registering for classes because of minor administrative or financial complications.<\/li>\n<li>Improving transfer pathways to make it easier for students \u2014 and the credits they have earned \u2014 to move between institutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The steps are part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/retention-grants-registration-holds-among-key-focus-areas-for-moon-shot-for-equity\/\">comprehensive effort<\/a> by 51ÁÔÆæ and the Wisconsin schools to address obstacles and other issues on each campus. Institutions are working individually while also sharing information, best practices and suggestions with Moon Shot partners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor too long, higher education has put the onus on students of color and other underserved student populations to adapt and overcome instead of reforming institutional barriers that make their educational journey more arduous than it has to be,\u201d said Tom Sugar, vice president of partnerships at EAB.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of the schools that have joined the Moon Shot for Equity have committed to fixing those institutional impediments.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two new groups of schools have committed to the Moon Shot for Equity initiative, which is dedicated to making sure that students
