Summary
The bill would have New Mexico higher‑education institutions gather, on a voluntary basis, information about the educational attainment of a student’s parent, legal guardian or fictive kin and send it to the state Higher Education Department. The department would then publish aggregated reports that can be used for research, grant reporting and policy decisions. It aims to help identify demographic disparities and improve academic services.
