As a part of the SSSP, the college is required by
CCCCO to review data and identify any inequities
across student population groups.
Develop a plan to address disproportionate impact
on access and achievement.
Provided an opportunity for us to really examine
how different groups are doing and develop a
funded plan to respond.
The Chancellor's office prescribed a method for
collecting and analyzing data on the following
indicators:

Access (does our enrollment population reflect
the community?)

Completion (course success)

Basic Skills improvement-English, Math, ESL

Degree and certificate completion

Transfer

Gender

Ethnicity

Age

Disability Status

Economically Disadvantaged

Foster Youth and Veterans Added (7/14)

Student Equity Committee formed February 2014 (2
Admin, 2 Managers, 2 Staff, 3 Faculty, and 4 Students).
The Office of Institutional Research conducted the
prescribed research and summarized the findings.
The Committee reviewed the research and discussed
methods to address inequities.
In response, the committee developed a plan which
included goals, outcomes and activities.
The Committee reviewed several drafts and edited
based on Committee member input.
Collaborated with the SSSP Committee to incorporate
proposed activities.



Low-income and Foster Youth student course
completion rate (success rate).
Hispanic-American students, students with
disabilities, and older students transfer rates.
All other groups/areas did not meet the
CCCCO threshold for inequity.



To increase low income and Foster Youth student
completion rates some of the proposed activities
include: the TRIO Math boot camp, faculty training on
poverty, and expansion of Foster Youth services for
part-time students.
To increase Hispanic-American, disability, and older
student transfer rates, some of the proposed activities
include: re-establishing a Career/Transfer center with
university rep on campus, and expanding information
and visitations to universities.
Additionally, increasing orientation, education plans,
and follow up services and reducing the number of
impacted courses.

