In June 1992, Dona Ana Branch Community College (DABCC) in Las Cruces, New Mexico, initiated a self-study to identify changes needed for fuller participation by minorities and women and to establish goals for student, faculty, and staff diversity. The self-study focused on college and program enrollments by gender and ethnicity; recruitment materials; admissions, orientation, and registration procedures; retention and completion rates of minorities and women; policies and practices supporting retention; transitions of program completers to jobs or further education; and faculty and staff diversity. The study found that in comparison to their representation in the service area, Blacks and American Indians were overrepresented in the spring 1992 college population and Hispanics were underrepresented. Men were overrepresented in technical programs. No patterns of ethnic bias in enrollment appeared in any program or division. Based on self-study findings, goals and related plans were developed, including the following: (1) develop a recruiting plan for areas with high concentrations of Hispanic and Black students; (2) develop a proactive marketing plan to promote gender equity; (3) modify admission, orientation, placement, and advising procedures to better integrate students into the college community; (4) increase faculty and staff awareness of cultural diversity issues; (5) improve financial aid services; (6) enhance articulation with bachelor's degree programs; (7) undertake efforts to employ an ethnically diverse faculty; and (8) encourage occupational students to consider teaching careers.
