UTSA Strategic Plan
UTSA’s Strategic Plan has language emphasizing access for students of all socioeconomic backgrounds regardless of backgrounds and philosophies: “UTSA will continue the dramatic momentum of the last decade to retain and graduate more students, and will emphasize experiential learning and classroom-to-career educational opportunities (UTSA, 2019a).”
UTSA’s Inclusivity Statement
UTSA’s Inclusivity Statement commits to “fostering diversity and providing access to educational and socioeconomic opportunities for all, regardless of individual backgrounds or philosophy (UTSA, 2021)”.
UTSA’s Bold Promise
OER is also a perfect pairing with the recent launch of the tuition free Bold Promise program, providing support for high-achieving Texas students from families with limited incomes (UTSA, 2019b).
