DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe central finding of this report, commissioned by the California Education Round Table, is that the present course of higher education in California--in which student demand, tuition, and costs are rising much faster than public funding--cannot be sustained. Unless effective steps are taken to alter current trends, sizable numbers of Californians will be denied access to higher education within the next 20 years. If that should happen, many will find themselves excluded from the growing number of occupations that require postsecondary course work for employment. This education bottleneck is narrowing at a time when economic inequality is increasing in the state and social demographics are shifting. The research offers recommendations for coping with this crisis that emphasize the need for greater public support of higher education in California along with comprehensive institutional reform so that available resources can be reallocated and other changes implemented to streamline operations. California must devise an effective strategic plan now for developing its human resources.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book reports findings from the National Study of Black College Students, a comprehensive study of Black college students' characteristics, experiences, and achievements as related to student background, institutional context, and interpersonal relationships. Over 4,000 undergraduates and graduate/professional students on sixteen campuses (eight historically Black and eight predominantly White) participated in this mail survey. Using these and other data, this book systematically examines the current state of Black students in U.S. higher education. Until now, our understanding has been limited by inadequate data, misguided theories, and failure to properly interpret the Black American reality. This volume challenges our assumptions and contributes to the growing body of knowledge about Black student experiences and outcomes in higher education.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Master Plan for Higher Education in California (Master Plan) is a historically renowned policy document that transformed uncoordinated and competing colleges and universities into a coherent system by providing each system (California Community Colleges, California State University, and the University of California) with its own distinctive mission and pool of students. Master Plan combined quality educational policy with expansive access for students for the first time in higher education. This policy document set forth broad guidelines for who would be admitted to each system of higher education, with the University of California (UC) responsible for enrolling the top 12.5% of the state's high school graduates. Using Master Plan as the guiding, overarching policy document, UC established its eligibility and admission policies. These policies have had a disparate impact on African American male students. Using a policy discourse analysis methodology, I explore the articulated goals of UC's eligibility and admission policies and the discourses and positions they advance. In particular, I consider how these policy documents and discourse impact African American males' quest for a UC education. I present evidence that the dominant discourses of merit and prestige, countered by alternate discourses of access, eligibility, diversity, race, and mission, provide a limited range of available policy themes and opportunities. I argue that the dominate discourses constrain understandings of UC eligibility and admission, and potentially narrow the UC educational opportunities available to African American males, which has negative implications for the state of California and the nation. If Master Plan and its premier university system, the University of California, are to serve as instruments for creating and expanding opportunity, UC and its eligibility and admission policies must be more than a necessary outcome; it is important to examine and expand more closely the definitions of merit and the construct of UC eligibility on the pathway to admission and the overwhelming role of prestige, as set forth in A Master Plan for Higher Education in California. Lastly, I argue that the interplay of prestige, race, and access in UC's eligibility and admission policies utilizing the backdrop of the historic policy document, Master Plan, can serve as a gatekeeper or opportunity path in African American males' access to the University of California.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe university eligibility of African American and Latino high school graduates in California has increased significantly in recent years. The Commission's most recent eligibility study showed that the percentage of African American high school graduates who met the minimum admission requirements of the University of California more than doubled between 1996 and 2003. The eligibility rate for Latinos also increased sharply. These gains are a very welcome development, but eligibility in itself is not a complete measure of access to public universities. The desired outcome of efforts to broaden access is that students from all ethnic back-grounds are actually entering and completing degrees at public universities. However, recent gains in eligibility have not been matched by gains in enrollments at UC and CSU. (Contains 2 tables and 9 graphs.).
