With the passage of SB 1163 (Student Success Task
Force) and SB 1456 (Student Success Act of 2012),
focus on Student Success has reaffirmed the
importance of student equity in achieving student
success.
– Ed Code 78216(c)(7) : Coordination with college
student equity plans to ensure that the college
has identified strategies to monitor and address
equity issues and mitigate any disproportionate
impacts on student access and achievement.
Student Equity Timeline
Student Equity Plans
1992 —BOG adopted a student equity policy to
ensure that historically underrepresented
groups have equal opportunity for access,
success, and transfer; requiring districts to
develop, implement, and evaluate a student
equity plan.
1996 —BOG amended its policy to establish the
adoption of a student equity plan as a
minimum standard for receipt of state funding.
2002 — BOG adopted recommendations of
Task Force on Equity and Diversity for title 5
regulations requiring colleges to develop
Student Equity Plan
2003 — Chancellor's Office provided guidelines
to colleges for development of the plan
2005 — Chancellor's Office asked colleges to
update/complete Student Equity plan.
2008-09 to 2012-13 — Submission of plans
suspended due to 40% to 52% budget cuts to
programs and categorical program flexibility.
2012— Student Success Act of 2012 (SB1456)
and reaffirmation of student equity goals.
Student Success Act (SB 1456)

chancellor to make an annual
report related to those plans. By
adding to the duties of
community college districts, the
bill would impose a statemandated local program.”

(CAFYES).

Governor’s Proposed Budget – 2016 – 2017
Student
Equity………………………..$155,000,000
Intent of Student Equity Funding
The governor’s intent in funding student equity
is based upon similar concepts for the recent K12 Local Control Funding Formula:
• Provide more money to districts where “the
need and the challenge is greatest.”
• Give local districts more authority to decide
how to spend the money, and hold them
accountable for the results.
SE Plan Elements: Research Methods
Guidelines for Measuring Disproportionate Impact in Equity Plans
Now three options for methodologies:



80-Percent Rule:
Compares the percentage of each disaggregated subgroup attaining
an outcome to the percentage attained by a reference group.
Proportionality:
Compares the percentage of a disaggregated subgroup in an initial
cohort to its own percentage in the resultant outcome group.
Percentage Point Gap:
Compares the percentage of students in a disaggregated subgroup
who complete the indicator with the average of all students who
complete that indicator.
Plan Elements: Goals
Goals should be:
•
•
•
•
Specific, and numerically measurable for each success
indicator by student group
Reasonable and achievable
Include a baseline year, baseline data and target dates
for achieving them
Minimum of 3 year target date, but may be longer
Goals may:
•
Vary in their duration by indicator, since some are
inherently short or intermediate milestones, while
others take longer to achieve
Colleges can use professional judgement in determining
baseline years, target dates, etc.
How to Achieve Equitable Outcomes
Student Equity provides follow
through and connectedness to
ensure continued success through
specific and intentional actions:
Questions
Disproportionate Impact
Establish which group your student may belong to
based on a number of factors or characteristics:
• Income status
• Region of residence
• Location of course enrollment
• Veteran or first generation status
• Academically underprepared status
Disproportionate Impact
“A condition in which some
students’ access and success may
be hampered by inequitable
practices, policies and
approaches...”
Understanding Equity
•
CCCCO studied High and low-impact
practices
•
Held Student Equity planning institutes
with internal and external system partners
•
•
System partners also provided professional
development seminars and training for
administrators, faculty and staff.

Representative Panel of 30 Readers March 18-20, 2015
– Review worksheet covered research, goals, activities, budget,
coordination with other programs, etc.
– 10 teams of 3 readers, with unique backgrounds/skills.
– Each team reviewed 11-12 plans from across the state.
Feedback to Colleges:
– Peer review with feedback to individual colleges on strengths
and weaknesses.
– Provided in time to help colleges update plans for 2015-16.

reporting;
• Standardize content and create common look
and feel for presenting information to the
legislature.
Next Steps
