Toward a Greater Understanding of the State's Educational Equity Policies, Programs, and Practices. Commission Report 98-5.
Edgert, Penny; Hickey, Cheryl; Leveille, David; Ludwig, Jeanne; Ratliff, Charles; White, Linda Barton
This report presents the recommendations of the California Postsecondary Education Commission based on a study on educational equity in the state. Six individual installments of the educational equity study were published as stand-alone reports between June 1997 and June 1998. The seventh and concluding installment presents a set of seven recommendations premised on evidence that higher education resources and opportunities are not distributed equitably throughout the state. The core of this document is the compilation of the seven individual installments that were presented to the Commission during the course of this study in the form of Higher Education Updates and Fact Sheets. There are two introductory chapters: Chapter 1 is a review of the Commission's role in educational equity and Chapter 2 explains how the volume is organized. The six installments of the original educational equity study follow: (1) "The Reality of the California of Today"; (2) "A Vision of the California of Tomorrow"; (3) "The Role of Education in Creating the Commission's Vision of the California of Tomorrow"; (4) "Schools as a Resource in Realizing the Commission's Vision of the California of Tomorrow"; (5) "Enrolling a Student Body: The Changing College Admissions Process in the 1990s"; and (6) "The Collegiate Experience". In the final chapter,"The Commission's Recommendations on Educational Equity," the seven major recommendations are grouped into four categories: reaching common ground on educational equity; enhancing student achievement in the public schools; expanding access to college; and enriching the collegiate experience.
