Recruit Hispanic faculty to increase Hispanic graduation rates

The United States has experienced a dramatic demographic transformation, the likes of which it has never experienced before. Not only is the country's population aging, but newer Americans are increasingly immigrants from Latin America and other countries from across the globe. While this transformation is underway, the United States finds itself losing its leadership role in higher education. While other countries are educating larger percentages of their young people, the United States has, until recently, remained stagnant. Only recently has the United States begun to experience a slight increase in the education attainment rates of its young people. Key to the United States' success in educating its young people is the education of the recent arrivals to the United States.
