Equitable Access, Success and Quality in Higher Education

Recognizing that widening participation and improving retention in higher education is a challenge facing many nations around the world, IAU invited an international Task Force of experts to assist in the preparation of this Policy Statement. In addition to highlighting key principles, the Policy Statement includes recommendations for action at governmental and institutional levels to ensure equity of access and improved success rates for all learners, but particularly for those from under-represented groups. The Statement was widely circulated among IAU Members prior to its formal adoption during the 13th IAU General Conference held in Utrecht University, the Netherlands in 2008. It has been endorsed by more than 30 organizations around the world.
