UC Language Minority Research Institute

The University of California Linguistic Minority Research Institute (UC LMRI) was established in 1984 in response to the California Legislature’s request that the University of California’s Office of the President pursue “…knowledge applicable to educational policy and practice in the area of language minority students’ academic achievement and knowledge,” including their access to the University of California and other institutions of higher education. The UC LMRI was first established as a research project and became a Multi-campus Research Unit (MRU) in 1992.
