For a decade, the Partnership for College Competition has been leading the conversation on equity and in Illinois. We have been instrumental in reshaping Illinois’ higher education landscape, ensuring that is no longer an aspiration—but a measurable, actionable commitment embedded in state policy.

Throughout 2026, we are reflecting on the past 10 years, and looking ahead to the next era of higher education equity work.
