In 1984 the California Legislature enacted Assembly Concurrent Resolution 83 (ACR 83), which established specific goals for enhancing the participation and success in postsecondary education of students from economic, racial, and ethnic backgrounds historically underrepresented in higher education. The Postsecondary Education Commission was mandated to review existing and planned programs to determine how they can best serve the goals of ACR 83. Responding to reports and recommendations from various segments of public education, the Commission addressed the following policy considerations: (1) the Department of Education's suggestions (offered in "Caught in the Middle--Educational Reform for Young Adolescents in California Public Schools" and "High School Curriculum and University Admissions Requirements: A Critical Linkage") that high schools set requirements that will prepare students for college, study the extent that students are currently prepared for college, review school counseling, advising, and diagnostic testing, review high school curriculum, and refine the data system on dropout characteristics; (2) the California State University's plans set forth in "Educational Equity in the California State University--Which Way the Future?"; and (3) the University of California's plans set forth in "Expanding Educational Equity in California's Schools and Colleges." Assembly Bill 101 is summarized, and recommendations concerning future reports pursuant to ACR 83 are offered. A description of the California Postsecondary Commission is provided. Lists of references and other reports in this series are included. (BJV)
