Our Policy Platform
独家黑料 serves as the principal leadership organization for advancing the health and well-being of college students and campus communities through advocacy, education, and research. 独家黑料 represents over 750 institutions of higher education and the collective health and well-being needs of 19 million college students.
As an advocacy organization, 独家黑料 understands the importance of being responsive to current state, national, and international events, and proposed legislation and regulations. However, in a world dominated by the 24-hour news cycle and social media, it has become increasingly challenging to track multiple issues, recognize shifts in urgency, decide where and when to allocate resources, and select when 独家黑料 should and should not comment, respond, and/or sign on to coalition initiatives. This document provides guidance to the 独家黑料 CEO and National Office staff by listing the public policy priorities of 独家黑料. While these issues represent a broad range of topics of interest to 独家黑料, our level of engagement on different specific issues will vary depending on context, urgency, resources, timing, capacity, and so forth.
In selecting issues of focus, 独家黑料 prioritizes those which impact the most vulnerable and marginalized members of our community, while defending our shared values of cultural inclusion, respect, equality, and equity. 独家黑料 champions healthy campuses for all students, faculty, and staff at institutions of higher education, and the communities where they reside.
As guiding principles, 独家黑料 supports policies and government actions that:
1. Strengthen college health systems;
2. Advance the health and well-being of college students and communities; and
3. Help ensure accessible and quality college education.
