College Opportunity • March 2026 3  \nACKNOWLEDGEMENTS  \nOur appreciation goes to African American Male Education Network & Development (A² MEND) for their generous support as a commissioning partner of our efforts to examine systemic barriers to college access and success for Black students and to recommend reforms that promote equity in California higher education. We also thank the many funders who make our work possible. Their steadfast commitment to expanding educational opportunities and fostering an equitable future for all students serves as an inspiring model of leadership and advocacy in higher education.  \nDavid Drummer, M.S. , was the principal author, and Alexis Takagi, Ed. D. , co-authored this report. Robby Born, Sukai Kato-Hopkins, Yehuda Potash, Gabby Meyers, Sergio Maciel, Ethan Kozlowski, and Markeshia Henry provided research assistance. We are grateful to Dr. Edward C. Bush and Marisol Cuellar Mejia for reviewing this report and offering thoughtful feedback on its methodology.  \n4 The State of Higher Education for Black Californians • The Campaign for College Opportunity • March 2026  \nFOREWORD  \nThe state of higher education for Black Californians reflects a truth we cannot ignore: Racial equity is not optional and is essential to the future of this state. When Black students are supported, when their success is prioritized, California becomes stronger, more innovative, and more economically secure. This isnot theory. It's fact.  \nWe are living through a time when equity efforts are being challenged across the country. Programs created to expand opportunity are being questioned or dismantled. The message is  \nclear: Step back, scale down, soften the work. But we cannot, and we will not. Not when the cost of retreat is paid by Black students who have already navigated generations of barriers they did not build.  \nThe data in this report makes something else equally clear: Black students have always had the talent, the will, and the ability to succeed. The question is whether our institutions will support them with the structures, resources, and commitment they deserve. This means transfer pathways that actually work. Support systems that see the whole student. Faculty and leadership that reflect the communities they serve. Policies designed with equity at the center, not as an afterthought.  \nEconomic justice must be part of this conversation.
