Our Position Papers
There are times within our research, planning, and professional development activities at The RP Group, when we become aware of important disparities related to policies and practices that impact student success. It is on these occasions when we believe that we have a responsibility to state not only our findings on the subject but also our position on key issues related to the topic.
Our goal is to address key components of the situation, offer clear examples and recommendations, support our arguments with evidence, and present our perspectives in a manner that is easy for a wide range of individuals and organizations to understand.

The RP Group is advocating for more inclusive methods of identifying African American/Black students in higher education, as current approaches often fail to capture all individuals who self-identify as African American/Black.
Our paper, “You Cant Count If You’re Not Counted,” offers recommendations for how researchers can employ data collection, analysis, and reporting practices that lead to policies and practices that more effectively promote equitable outcomes.
