Ozan Jaquette is an assistant professor of education at UCLA. His research analyzes the enrollment management behaviors of universities; that is, how universities go about growing enrollment from desired student populations. He examines the tensions between access for underserved students and the pursuit of revenue and prestige. One line of research analyzes the causes and consequences of out-of-state enrollment growth at public universities. His current research uses “data science” to investigate which students universities actually recruit.

Karina Salazar is an assistant professor in the Center for The Study of Higher Education in the College of Education at The University of Arizona. Her research focuses on investigating whether the enrollment management practices of public universities undermine access for underserved student populations. Karina is a 2017-18 American Educational Research Association Dissertation Grant recipient. Her dissertation research explores whether and to what extent university recruiting efforts may be spatially discriminating, or redlining, schools and communities with predominantly low-income students and students of color.
