Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Master Plan for Higher Education in California (Master Plan) is a historically renowned policy document that transformed uncoordinated and competing colleges and universities into a coherent system by providing each system (California Community Colleges, California State University, and the University of California) with its own distinctive mission and pool of students. Master Plan combined quality educational policy with expansive access for students for the first time in higher education. This policy document set forth broad guidelines for who would be admitted to each system of higher education, with the University of California (UC) responsible for enrolling the top 12.5% of the state's high school graduates. Using Master Plan as the guiding, overarching policy document, UC established its eligibility and admission policies. These policies have had a disparate impact on African American male students. Using a policy discourse analysis methodology, I explore the articulated goals of UC's eligibility and admission policies and the discourses and positions they advance. In particular, I consider how these policy documents and discourse impact African American males' quest for a UC education. I present evidence that the dominant discourses of merit and prestige, countered by alternate discourses of access, eligibility, diversity, race, and mission, provide a limited range of available policy themes and opportunities. I argue that the dominate discourses constrain understandings of UC eligibility and admission, and potentially narrow the UC educational opportunities available to African American males, which has negative implications for the state of California and the nation. If Master Plan and its premier university system, the University of California, are to serve as instruments for creating and expanding opportunity, UC and its eligibility and admission policies must be more than a necessary outcome; it is important to examine and expand more closely the definitions of merit and the construct of UC eligibility on the pathway to admission and the overwhelming role of prestige, as set forth in A Master Plan for Higher Education in California. Lastly, I argue that the interplay of prestige, race, and access in UC's eligibility and admission policies utilizing the backdrop of the historic policy document, Master Plan, can serve as a gatekeeper or opportunity path in African American males' access to the University of California.

This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving college access and success among Black males has garnered tremendous attention. Many social scientists have noted that Black men account for only 4.3% of the total enrollment at 4-year postsecondary institutions in the United States, the same percentage now as in 1976. Furthermore, two thirds of Black men who start college never finish. The lack of progress among Black men in higher education has caused researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to become increasingly focused on ways to increase their access and success. Offering recommendations and strategies to help advance success among Black males, this monograph provides a comprehensive synthesis and analysis of factors that promote the access, retention, and persistence of Black men at diverse institutional types (e.g., historically Black colleges and universities, predominantly White institutions, and community colleges). It delineates institutional policies, programs, practices, and other factors that encourage the success of Black men in postsecondary education. This is the 3rd issue of the 40th volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to portray the life experiences and events that contributed to the academic success of seven college-enrolled African American males, whose ages range from 20 to 28. The students' backgrounds were varied, and they attended a group of colleges and universities which had a diverse and wide range of institutional characteristics. Researching the experiences of these student participants allowed for the exploration of issues regarding access and persistence, specifically pertaining to African American males. This was done by creating portraits of these males' journeys to higher education.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his new book, the author of the bestseller Why Race and Culture Matter in Schools examines the chronic under-performance of African American males in U.S. schools. Citing a plethora of disturbing academic outcomes for Black males, this book focuses on the historical, structural, educational, psychological, emotional, and cultural factors that influence the teaching and learning process for this student population. Howard discusses the potential, and promise of Black males by highlighting their voices to generate new insights, create new knowledge, and identify useful practices that can significantly improve the schooling experiences and life chances of Black males. Howard calls for a paradigm shift in how we think about, teach, and study Black males. The book: examines current structures, ideologies, and practices that both help and hinder the educational and social prospects of Black males; translates frequently cited theorectical principles into research-based classroom practice; documents teacher-student interactions, student viewpoints, and discusses the troubling role that sports plays in th lives of many Black males; highlights voices and perspectives from Black male students about ways to improve their schooling experiences and outcomes; and identifies community-based programs that are helping Black males succeed.

Book excerpt: My dissertation is an ethnographic analysis of a public high school in Southeast Los Angeles County. My research analyzes three issues that make major contributions to issues of race and gender within anthropology. First, my ethnography examines the linkages between the prison and public education systems. Second, I argue that as a means to control the movement of black bodies on campus, the public education system denies black students access to traditional spaces of black cultural autonomy. Third, I address the manner in which the public education system constructs and reinforces a particular type of deviant black masculinity with respect to black male youth. Building upon the school-to-prison pipeline scholarship, my dissertation examines the micro-processes by which public education as a state structure facilitates the movement of black male bodies into the labyrinth of the prison system. However, departing from the body of literature, I detail how the public education structure is an ideological and pragmatic extension of the organizational logic of prison.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this collective case study was to understand the barriers to college access facing low-income African American males in the northeastern region of the United States. This study employed a qualitative methodology approach involving 10 low-income African American high school graduates from two states. The theoretical framework that guided this study was critical race theory. The central research question was: What are the barriers to college enrollment for low-income African American male high school graduates? The data collection methods consisted of semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and a focus group. The data analysis process involved open coding, axial coding, cross-case synthesis, and categorical aggregation. Research was needed to understand why low-income African American males graduate high school yet fail to enroll in post-secondary education. This study highlighted some of the structural, cultural, and racialized barriers facing low-income African American males as it relates to college access.
