Challenges:• What new

interventions will need to be developed based on data?

• How do we scale up to meet demand and the funding regulations?

Old Matriculation funding was in lump sum.New SSSP funding is based on service-

delivery:

State wants to see more results – increased transfer, degree, certificate awards

State wants to see how we are actually working toward student achievement

State wants students to be more self-directed and focused on outcomes

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.

Access (does our enrollment population reflect the community?)

Completion (course success) Basic Skills improvement-English, Math, ESL Degree and certificate completion Transfer

The Chancellor's office prescribed a method for collecting and analyzing data on the following indicators:

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.

Present and revise Equity Plan through Shared Governance process. (Currently posted on the intranet).

Present for approval to Board of Trustees. Submit to CCCCO by November 21st 2014. In 14/15, the Student Equity committee will meet

regularly to provide updates on progress made toward addressing inequities.

The committee will also meet to develop next year’s plan.
