And despite some recent progress among students from traditionally underrepresented and underserved populations, the achievement gap persists. According to a recent report by PPIC, “the proportion of bachelor’s degrees awarded to Latinos, African Americans, and American Indians at public universities has been rising slowly since 2010—from 25 percent to 35 percent at CSU and from 17 percent to 24 percent at UC.1” However, disparities still exist in other key measures of achievement. At California community colleges, African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and Latinos students earn a certificate or degree or transfer to a four-year institution within six-years (“completion”) at a rate of 40%—an over 25 percentage point spread when compared to their white and Asian counterparts2 . Further, research indicates that achievement gaps are strongly correlated with racial gaps in income, poverty rates, unemployment rates, and educational attainment3 . Educational equity is a civil and human rights issue and it’s one that community college educators and professionals confront on a daily basis.  \nCalifornia community colleges possess the opportunity and have the responsibility to help improve the economic prospects of the students we serve by leveraging existing vehicles of investment such as the Student Equity Plans. Our system’s focus on access has enabled the promotion of educational opportunities for all. This is an important distinction and privilege unique to community colleges. Unlike other systems of higher education, community colleges are entrusted to provide a quality education to individuals from all walks of life.  \nNonetheless, while the differences among our students can lead to an enriching learning environment, the challenges are extensive and require investment and planning. Promoting increased social mobility and equity-minded educational quality requires reexamination of a wide range of  \n1 The Public Policy Institute of California.
