The Carnegie Foundation and ACE share more on their plan to incorporate social mobility and racial equity into the Carnegie classifications

Tim Knowles, president of the Carnegie Foundation, and Ted Mitchell, president of the American Council on Education (ACE), recently discussed their new partnership and why the time is right to refresh the Carnegie classifications with Inside Higher Ed. The conversation explored their plan to add a significant focus on whether and how much colleges and universities contribute to social mobility and racial equity, potentially by creating an entirely new classification that would sort institutions by the degree to which they are engines of mobility and equity. Check out a transcript of their conversation at InsideHigherEd.com.
