Closing achievement gaps, with help from the Mayo Clinic

From Mikhail Zinshteyn / Washington Post: By partnering with the Mayo Clinic, focusing on just two bachelor’s degree programs (in health sciences), and emphasizing the importance of close support systems between faculty and students, the decade-old University of Minnesota at Rochester is quickly closing achievement gaps. Can the model, which is currently being used with a small 500-student school, be successfully transferred to other higher education institutions?
