): Links funding to the new ScorecardEC 78216(c)(7): Delineates plan requirements & link to student equity:“Coordination with college student equity plans to ensure that the college has identified strategies to monitor and address equity issues and mitigate any disproportionate impacts on student access and achievement.”Slide9

SB 1456 & Student EquityEC 78216(c)(2): Delineates plan requirements

regarding college efforts to implement interventions for at-risk students:“A description of the college’s process to identify students at risk for academic or progress probation and the college’s plan for interventions or services to students.”Slide10

EC 76300:BOG Fee Waiver Conditions

“It is the intent of the Legislature that minimum academic and progress standards …be implemented only as campuses develop and implement the student support services and interventions necessary to ensure no disproportionate impact to students based on ethnicity, gender, disability, or socioeconomic status.”“It is the intent of the Legislature to ensure that a student shall not lose fee

waiver eligibility without a community college campus

first demonstrating

a reasonable effort to provide a student with

adequate notification

and assistance in maintaining his or her fee waiver eligibility

.”Slide11

Student Equity Requirements

Coordinate development of SSS Program Plan (SB 1456) with the Student Equity Plan

Establish a Student Equity Planning Committee

Identify

strategies to address/monitor equity

Mitigate disproportionate impact on students

Coordinate

interventions

and services for students at risk of academic progress or

probation (Title

ensus data; locally available data

Course Completion:

Ratio of number of credit courses that students by pop. group complete compared to number of courses in which students in that group are enrolled on the census day of term -

ESL and Basic Skills Completion:

Ratio of number of

Student Equity Planning

ResourcesGuidelines for Measuring Disproportionate Impact (DI) in Equity Plans Simple Definition of DI: “A condition in which some students’ access to key courses, resources, and supports and ultimately their academic success may be hampered by inequitable practices, policies and approaches.”

To

assess equity, analyses should use one or more of the

following

disaggregated

subgroups

:

Gender

Ethnicity

Age

Disability Status

Economically DisadvantagedSlide16

Student Equity Planning Resources

Guidelines for Measuring Disproportionate Impact in Equity Plans Two methodologies:

Proportionality:

Compares

the percentage of a disaggregated

subgroup

in an

initial cohort to

its own

percentage

in the resultant outcome

group

80-Percent Rule:

Compares the percentage of each disaggregated subgroup attaining an outcome to the percentage attained by a reference subgroup

Slide17

Student Equity Planning Resources

A Guide to Assessing & Mitigating Disproportionate Impact in Student Success and Support Programs – Developed by the Research and Planning Group for CCC (RP Group)The guide has been developed to:Help colleges better understand concept of DI as it relates to SSSP components and the need to examine relevant data related to these services

Provide colleges with the tools that will help them conduct DI impact students

Present strategies that have the potential to mitigate DISlide18

Guide’s Focus

Examines disproportionate impact in following SSSP components:AdmissionsAssessment and PlacementOrientation

Counseling and Advising (education planning)

Follow-up (evaluation of student progress)

Prerequisites

18Slide19

Assessing for Disproportionate Impact

Sample Research Questions:Do male and female students access counseling services in different proportions relative to their representation on the campus?Are younger students more likely to complete orientation?If a student is older (26 years or older), is s/he more likely to assess into basic skills level math?Is race/ethnicity associated with lower success rates in prerequisites in certain fields of study?

19Slide20

Guiding Questions

Where is disproportionate impact an issue?What strategies and approaches have colleges successfully implemented to mitigate it?What data can be accessed to explore the issue?What relevant analyses can be conducted to monitor changes in disproportionate impact?How can colleges use this information for action planning and improvement?

20Slide21

Guide Outline

For each SSSP component, we provide:Context related to the component and DIWhere to access available dataHow to conduct DI analysesGuidelines for data analysis (80% rule)Sample data tablesHighlighted areas for analysis

Promising strategies and approaches to mitigate DI

Questions to guide action planning for improvement

Relevant Analyses: 80% Rule

22

Target population of students

(by gender, ethnicity, age, disability, etc.)

Percentage of students within each group that achieved prerequisite skill level

Majority or reference group and use that group’s percentage as the benchmark

Percentage for other student groups by that of the majority or reference group (ratio)

Highlight

any group with a

ratio

of less than 0.80 or 80%

Some evidence of Disproportionate Impact exists for any target group with a ratio less than 80%Slide23

Action Planning: Questions for Consideration

How are you monitoring disproportionate impact?Who is or needs to be involved in this effort?How often should available data be examined to note progress or a need for additional changes?Which groups of students are likely to be affected and/or targeted?What kind of training or professional development is needed?
