Francisco Araiza
Associate Vice Chancellor for Policy Implementation
State University of New York (SUNY)
Francisco Miguel Araiza is the Associate Vice Chancellor for Policy Implementation. As part of the Chancellor’s office, he works cross-functionally with teams to ensure that SUNY’s four priority pillars: (1) Student Success; (2) Research and Scholarship; (3) Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; and (4) Economic Development and Upward Mobility are prioritized across all initiatives.
Before joining SUNY, Francisco spent a decade leveraging research and data for more inclusive, just, and equitable public policies in different roles and capacities. He was most recently the deputy executive director of Next100, a startup think tank for a new generation of policy leaders, where he helped build and manage a team of individuals who were driving policy change in issue areas they were either directly impacted by, or proximate to. Francisco also worked at The Education Trust–New York (Ed Trust–NY), where he led the research and policy team on educational equity issues from early childhood to college completion, while supporting the organization’s internal and external strategic planning. Prior to Ed Trust–NY, he was at the Citizens’ Committee for Children, where he was a data and policy associate and provided research support for the organization’s policy agenda across a range of child well-being issue areas. Francisco’s passion for public policy stems from his first-hand experience of social policy inequities as a low-income and undocumented youth.
