Today’s students are more diverse than previous generations. Twenty-four percent are parents, 37 percent are older than 25, 49 percent are financially independent, and 42 percent are students of color. About 40 percent of today’s students attend part-time. A new report calls on institutions and policymakers to embrace policies, practices, and programs that reduce the barriers part-time students face in earning their postsecondary degree or credential.
