Section 10a-11}.&nbsp; The Plan’s goals included a desire that students who enroll and graduate from each of the public institutions of higher education are representative of the racial and ethnic diversity of the total population of the state.The State of CT Office of Higher Education (OHE) seeks to advance the promise of postsecondary education for all state residents, and to advocate on behalf of students, taxpayers, and the postsecondary schools and colleges which fall under its purview.&nbsp; The Office of Higher Education carries out its mission by assuring that students have access to postsecondary institutions which meet the highest standards of academic quality, by administering the state’s student financial aid programs, and by serving as an information and consumer protection resource. <h4>Selection Plan</h4> TO APPLY <ul><li>In order to be considered for this job opening, you must meet the Minimum Qualifications as listed on this job opening.
