Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports findings from the National Study of Black College Students, a comprehensive study of Black college students' characteristics, experiences, and achievements as related to student background, institutional context, and interpersonal relationships. Over 4,000 undergraduates and graduate/professional students on sixteen campuses (eight historically Black and eight predominantly White) participated in this mail survey. Using these and other data, this book systematically examines the current state of Black students in U.S. higher education. Until now, our understanding has been limited by inadequate data, misguided theories, and failure to properly interpret the Black American reality. This volume challenges our assumptions and contributes to the growing body of knowledge about Black student experiences and outcomes in higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central finding of this report, commissioned by the California Education Round Table, is that the present course of higher education in California--in which student demand, tuition, and costs are rising much faster than public funding--cannot be sustained. Unless effective steps are taken to alter current trends, sizable numbers of Californians will be denied access to higher education within the next 20 years. If that should happen, many will find themselves excluded from the growing number of occupations that require postsecondary course work for employment. This education bottleneck is narrowing at a time when economic inequality is increasing in the state and social demographics are shifting. The research offers recommendations for coping with this crisis that emphasize the need for greater public support of higher education in California along with comprehensive institutional reform so that available resources can be reallocated and other changes implemented to streamline operations. California must devise an effective strategic plan now for developing its human resources.

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.

Book excerpt: Investigating the role of equity, diversity, and affirmative action in colleges and universities in the United States, this book critically examines the issues in light of public debates, voter referenda, and legislative enactments seeking to influence public policy. The contributors argue that providing information and critical skills to students and scholars, preparing students for the world of work (especially in a rapidly changing technological environment), and generating new research and knowledge bases are missions of higher education that can be enhanced with affirmative action as a form of equity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a sitting college president who has presided over transformative change at a state university, this book takes on the big questions and issues of change and change management, what needs to be done and how to do it. Writing in a highly accessible style, the author recommends changes for higher education such as the reallocation of resources to support full-time faculty members in foundation-level courses, navigable pathways from community college to the university, infusion rather than proliferation of courses, and the role of state universities in countering the disappearance of the middle class. The book describes how these changes can be made, as well as why we must make them if our society is to thrive in the twenty-first century.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite segmental efforts to increase diversity in higher education, African American and Latino students are not achieving levels of representation in California public universities that are equivalent to their levels of representation in the overall State population. Using data for the years 1997 through 2006, the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC) staff examined recent trends in enrollment to determine whether the student populations in the State's public systems of higher education mirror the diversity of California's overall population. The Commission found that racial-ethnic enrollment proportions at the California Community Colleges most closely mirror that of 18 to 24 year olds in the State population and, as admissions criteria are more selective with California State University and University of California, inequities within those segments continue to be apparent. These findings are not meant to suggest that segmental efforts are not achieving success. Appendixes include: (1) Student-to-Population Ratio of Native Americans--All Segments, Ages 18-24 table; (2) Segmental Efforts to Increase Diversity in Higher Education; (3) The California State University's Outreach and Recruitment Efforts with Latino, African American and Asian Communities (Responses to CPEC communication of August 8); (4) Admissions, Student Academic Preparation and Educational Partnerships, and Regents' Study Group on Diversity; and (5) Association of American Colleges and Universities Briefing Papers Making Excellence Inclusive: Diversity, Inclusion, and Institutional Renewal.
