Ten Years of the Board of Governors' Strategic Plan To Ensure Racial and Ethnic Diversity in Connecticut Public Higher Education, 1985-95. Report.
Connecticut State Dept. of Higher Education, Hartford.
This annual report discusses actions taken by the Connecticut Department of Higher Education's Minority Advancement Program (MAP) over the past 10 years to increase the numbers of disadvantaged high school students prepared for success in college, to increase student access and retention among underrepresented groups, and to increase the employment and advancement of underrepresented groups. It examines the three MAP programs: (1) the Connecticut Collegiate Awareness and Preparation Program (ConnCAP), which used enrichment, remedial, and counseling activities, along with an intensive summer camp program, to enhance the college enrollment rates of underachieving and disadvantaged students; (2) the Minority Enrollment Incentive Program, which used incentive grants to increase minority enrollment at Connecticut public colleges and universities from 8.9 percent in 1984 to 16.4 percent in 1994; and (3) the Minority Staff Development and Recruitment Program, which used enhanced minority representation on search committees and discretionary funds for aggressive minority recruitment, resulting in an increase in minority professional employment at public colleges and universities from 7.5 percent in 1983 to 12.6 percent in 1994. The bulk of the report consists of three appendixes which describe, in outline and tabular format, the activities and results of the three programs. (MDM)
