A study of Hispanic participation in administration of the 106 California community colleges (administered through district organizations) counted persons with Spanish surnames listed in the "Directory of California Community Colleges 1981-82" as participating in administration at district or college level. Hispanic administrators were concentrated in fewer than 25% of the 70 college districts; 66% of districts with Hispanic participation were in the San Francisco Bay and Los Angeles areas. District totals were two board of trustees presidents, one superintendent/president, two vice presidents, two vice chancellors, one dean, one associate dean, and one coordinator, most in positions dealing with personnel or affirmative action. Of the 106 colleges, 47% had one or more Hispanic administrators, including 5 presidents, 20 deans, 7 vice presidents, 6 associate deans, 13 assistant deans, 6 coordinators, 13 directors, 3 division heads, 2 registrars, 3 affirmative action officers, 1 financial aid officer, 9 academic senate presidents, and 5 student body presidents (who may sit on selection and curriculum committees). Most were in areas of instruction and student services. Thus, most California Community Colleges do not have Hispanics as active participants in the institutional decision-making process. Literature relevant to Hispanic participation in California Community College administration indicated numerous factors affecting the selection process. (MH)
