Executive Summary Grossmont College, founded in 1960, is located east of San Diego in the City of El Cajon, California. Grossmont College serves a vibrant, diverse region with almost 473,000 residents, of whom 58.3% are Caucasian, 26.9% are Hispanics, 5.2% are African-American, 4.8% are Asian, and 4% are multi- racial/other.

College Mission Grossmont College is committed to providing an exceptional learning environment that enables diverse individuals to pursue their hopes, dreams, and full potential, and to developing enlightened leaders and thoughtful citizens for local and global communities. As part of its mission, Grossmont College pursues core values related to learning and student success; creativity and innovation; pursuit of excellence and continuous improvement, integrity, civility; balance and the power of diversity and inclusion.

Grossmont College Demographics Grossmont College currently enrolls 18,000 students and over the past five years (2010-2015) has dropped approximately 11%. This is generally reflective of the trend seen throughout the state as the economy has improved. Females make up approximately 55% of the student population (a number that has remained steady over the past five years). During the Fall 2015, 41% of the student population is White, while Hispanic/Latino students make up 33% of the student body (a percentage that has increased by 9 points over the past five years). Thirty nine percent of the students are 20-24 years in age. The faculty and staff at Grossmont make up 955 total employees, including 196 full-time faculty, 537 part-time faculty, 19 administrators, and 203 full-time and part-time classified staff members. Despite a strong recruitment program, the teaching faculty members are not as diverse as the students: 68% are Caucasian, 17% are Hispanic, 6% are African-American, 9% are Asian or Pacific Islander, and 1% are Native American. The current faculty diversity reflects the long tenure of many faculty members who are hired in the 1980s.

The Student Equity Plan assesses outcomes in what the California Community Colleges Board of Governors policy on student equity has defined as five key success indicators: assess, course completion, ESL and basic skills completion, degree and certificate completion, and transfer. The indicators are defined as follows:

Access: The percentage of each population group that is enrolled compared to that group’s representation in the adult population within the community served. This percentage is frequently calculated as a participation rate. Course Completion: The ratio of the number of credit courses that students, by population group, successfully complete (A,B,C,or P) compared to the number of courses in which students in that group are enrolled on the census day of the fall term. ESL and Basic Skills Completion: The ratio of the number of students by population who successfully complete the related degree-applicable course within 6 years after having begun the ESL or Basic Skills sequence.

Degree and Certificate Completion: The ratio of the number of students who complete at least 6 units and attempt at least one math or English course by population group and subsequently receive a degree or certificate within 6 years of starting to the number of students in that group with a goal of degree or certificate completion. Transfer: The ratio of the number of students by population group who transfer or become transfer- prepared to the number of students in that group with a goal of transfer.

Target Groups There are several primary target groups that rise from the chart above: African American, Pacific Islander and Hispanic/ Latino students demonstrate disproportionate impact in all of the indicators with the exception of access, where Hispanic/Latino students is the only ethnic population that is disproportionately impacted.

Summary Table

The following table summarizes the areas of disproportionate impact identified in our analyses as well as the 6-year target goals for mitigation of that impact. The goals were developed as a result of dialogue within the college's Institutional Excellence Council (IEC), a group that tracks and discusses overall institutional student success and effectiveness indicators, and included input from the English, ESL, and Math departments as well as the Student Equity Plan writing team.

Given the importance of these goals to the strategic planning process of the college, the IEC suggested a six-year period of time to achieve the selected target goals. In general, the criteria used to select the target goals were to close the gap for those groups that were 10 percentage points or less below the average and to reduce those gaps that are greater than 10 percentage points by 10 points. Exceptions to these criteria were made where departmental or college-level strategies would have an additional or lesser impact.

The table below also summarizes specific programs and services that will be implemented to improve outcomes for the target groups. While these interventions are detailed in the plan, some of the highlights include: expanding the Umoja Program, instituting Puente, developing a comprehensive outreach and retention program as well as developing a student engagement center. Ongoing faculty and staff development are vital to the successful implementation of these programs. The plan outlines a comprehensive list of increased training regarding equity, diversity and inclusion as part of Faculty Experiential Learning Academy, New Faculty Orientations and year-long partnership with Minority Male Community College Collaborative (M2C3).

Planning Committee and Collaboration A. PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS (including review by college constituent groups)

Since the 2014 Student Equity Plan submission, Grossmont College has had a number of significant shifts including changes in leadership, a newly awarded Title V grant and the Cooperating Agencies for Foster Youth Educational Support Program (CAFYES) grant and a district commitment as an Achieving the Dream College. The student equity plan development process has been utilized as a tool to engage in meaningful dialogue around equity, student engagement and to improve success rates for our disproportionately impacted student groups. The Grossmont College student equity plan writing team was formed during fall of 2015. The membership of the writing team was intentionally solicited to make sure every constituent group across the campus was represented.

During the first few meetings, the goal for the student equity writing team was to have shared meaning and understanding on the term equity, and to examine the purposes of developing the student equity plan. A primary goal for the development of the plan was to make sure that the process was both transparent and inclusive. The student equity plan was shared via Google docs to additional faculty, staff and administrators to gather their input throughout the writing process. Additionally, once the student equity plan was written the document was linked to the college webpage for all faculty, staff and students to view and comment.

Access CAMPUS-BASED RESEARCH: ACCESS

A. Compare the percentage of each population group that is enrolled to the percentage of each group in the adult population within the community served.

Access refers to the proportion of a given subpopulation enrolled in the college relative to that subpopulation’s size in the district’s service area. The college service area is defined by the zip codes in which 90% of the enrolled students reside in each given academic year (summer, fall, spring). The service area population estimates were extracted from SANDAG on 3/19/2015.

Complete data tables and a description of methodologies used to determine disproportionate impact can be found in Appendix A of this plan document.

Data Observations Through a comparative analysis of student demographics with service area data beginning in Fall 2009 and ending in Spring 2014, the following observations were made:

• Both the Grossmont student headcount and the service area have seen an increase in the Hispanic/Latino population. However, during 2013-14 (the latest year for which service area data were available), the percentage of students enrolled (31%) remains below the percentage in the service area population (37%). In addition, the percentage of Asian students enrolled (10%) is slightly less than that of the service area population (13%). Percentages of student enrollments for all other ethnicities are greater than those in the service area.

• While the percentage of male students has risen slightly over the past five years, the 44% enrolled in the 2013-14 academic year does not reflect that of the service area (50%).

• Not surprisingly, the percent enrollment of age groups from 18-24 years and 25-29 years exceeds the percent of those same populations within the college’s service area. There are opportunities for the college to reach out to the 30-39 year-old and 40-64 year-old populations, all of which (although not the typical college-going age) have enrollment percentages below that of the service area.

Conclusions: Disproportionately Impacted Student Groups In summary, the student groups that are experiencing gaps in access (as defined in the header for this section) are:

Group % of college's total

enrollment (2013-14) % of service area

population (2013-14) Gap (in percentage point difference)*

• Activity Implementation Plan

The goal is to develop a comprehensive Adult Re-Entry Program to meet the needs of our growing 34-49 year old student population, of which many are Middle Eastern/refugee and Latino students. The services provided would be transitional services to provide information on the college entrance process, how to use Web Advisor, information on Financial Aid and appropriate paperwork/processes, benefits of the CalWORKs program for students who are single parents on aide with children under 14, educational/academic and intrusive counseling, workshops targeted for the population such as work-life balance and financial management, and adjacency for career services for connecting school with job opportunities. This program would also support the two grant funded initiatives through AARP (for 50+) and the collaboration with the San Diego Workforce Partnership who provides a career navigator for the college. The Adult Re-Entry Program would also provide materials and documents that are translated in both Spanish and Arabic. Students would also find out about internship opportunities and workplace learning.

• Activity Implementation Plan Nursing has historically been a predominately female profession that would benefit from more males in the profession. Strategies to attract males in nursing include outreach such as an annual men in nursing conference held on campus. This outreach event would be geared towards high school students seeking a career in healthcare and specifically nursing. This event will be held annually in the fall. Develop a local Men in Nursing chapter chartered and managed by one of the male nursing instructors. Develop a post conference assessment tool to determine the level of interest in nursing once the conference is complete.

High school tours on campus with the Health & Science Pipeline (high school students)- once annually have several high school students on to campus. Engage those student in simulation and hands on activities.

Develop a faculty shadowing for a select number of high school juniors and seniors interested in nursing. These students would be cleared to go to the clinical setting with the instructor and see the role of the Registered Nurse, nursing faculty and the nursing student.

• Activity Implementation Plan This is a service for undocumented students, the majority of which are of Latino decent. Identify and hire a bilingual (Spanish/English) counselor who will create a safe zone for students attending Grossmont College as a result of the Dream Act/AB 540. Currently, there are no services set up to serve this very high at-risk student population. Students arrive with fear, lack of trust and feeling alienated. Services would include textbook grants, additional lap top computers purchased for student check-out, cafeteria meal vouchers, transportation (bus passes), school supplies and a food pantry. The counselor would provide assistance with matriculation, DACA renewals, educational planning, career and transfer counseling, scholarship research and application support, advisor for the student club, assist with fundraisers, and collaborate with campus and community organizations. Outreach to local area high schools will be critical. The counselor would also provide personal counseling, conduct safe zone trainings and refer to a licensed therapist when necessary.

• Activity Implementation Plan

This college-wide activity will be to develop a comprehensive outreach program that reaches a number of target populations including, but not limited to: first-time GUHSD high school graduates, Dream Act students, Foster Youth, our local refugee population, EOPS/CARE/CalWORKS students, under-represented students, and 50+ adults. The purpose of this activity is to be more intentional in identifying and reaching out to students in order to help inform them about the opportunities at Grossmont College and assist them in getting off to a strong start. In addition, it helps the college maintain healthy enrollment trends in ever-changing times.

The efforts will include: * visits to local area high schools, Charter Schools, Community Based Organizations, Faith Based Organizations, detention facilities, continuation schools, foster youth facilities. * Translation of important college materials into other languages. * Hire and manage student ambassadors, hourly counselors

This approach also includes the organization and implementation of a large spring open house event that is designed for prospective students and their families to enroll at Grossmont College. Activities at the open house include application workshops; financial aid workshops offered in English, Spanish and Arabic; specialized presentations for undocumented students, Latino/a students, former foster youth, refugees, etc.; among other activities that support student success. Funding for the inaugural event in spring 2015 paid for volunteer lunches and promotional materials.

Grossmont College currently does not have a position dedicated to outreach efforts. With the equity monies GC will hire a full-time Outreach Coordinator to plan, organize and coordinate outreach program and activities.

A.7 Hispanic Unknown

• Activity Implementation Plan

In efforts to outreach to the local Hispanic population, Grossmont College will host a family-oriented event where Hispanic students and their families will be invited to tour campus, and learn about programs and the support services offered by the college. Event organizers hope to provide an immersive experience to Hispanic families about the benefits and opportunities higher education provides, by hosting keynote speakers who come from disadvantaged backgrounds and who will share their personal stories of overcoming hardship and the importance of pursing an education. This event will also target Hispanic high school students from our surrounding community.

Palomar College has hosted a similar event for the last five years. They are also an Hispanic-Serving Institution (HIS) that has been recognized as one of the top three colleges and universities in the U.S. for graduating Hispanic students with associate’s degrees. https://www2.palomar.edu/pages/news/2015/10/05/tarde-de-familia-event-is-planned-for-october-16/

This would be the first time Grossmont College would host an event like this. Therefore, equity funds will be needed to fund the event. No other college monies have been allocated to fund the event.

Course Completion

CAMPUS-BASED RESEARCH: COURSE COMPLETION

B. The ratio of the number of credit courses that students, by population group, complete compared to the number of courses in which students in that group are enrolled on the census day of the term.

This metric is defined as the ratio of the number of credit courses that students, by population group, complete compared to the number of courses in which students in that group are enrolled on the census day of the term.

Data on overall course completion (success) rates are collected annually and reported as part of the Grossmont College Key Performance Indicator (KPI) report. Course completion rates are based on duplicated enrollments. Successful Course Completion Rate = (Grades A, B, C, and P) / (Grades A, B, C, D, F, P, NP, I, W). The data include the success rates of all credit courses offered in the fall terms at the college.

Complete data tables and a description of methodologies used to determine disproportionate impact can be found in Appendix A of this plan document.

Data Observations Through a comparative analysis of course completion data beginning in Fall 2009 and ending in Spring 2014, the following observations were made:

• African American/Black students have the lowest average overall course success of all race/ethnicity populations. The 55% success rate for this group has remained remarkably consistent over the most recent five-year reporting period.

• The 51% average success rate for foster youth over the past five years remains significantly below the average success rate of all students of 69%. In addition, the success rates have decreased fairly steadily over the past five years from a high in Fall 2010 of 57%.

Conclusions: Disproportionately Impacted Student Groups In summary, the student groups that are experiencing gaps in course completion (as defined in the header for this section) are:

Target Population Success Rate (%) Average Rate Overall (%)

Gap (in percentage point difference*)

African American/Black 55.2 68.9 -13.7 Foster Youth 50.6 68.9 -18.3

*Calculated by subtracting the average overall % success rate from the % success rate of the target population.

Work with Guardian Scholars leaders to develop greater outreach, support, and incentives for foster youth students. This is an ongoing activity from last year’s Student Equity Plan and is bolstered by a new initiative. Grossmont College has been awarded the Cooperating Agencies Foster Youth Educational Support (CAFYES) Program. The CAFYES program is designed to serve students who were in foster care at any time between their 16th and 18th birthdays. In addition, the intent is to reach these students while they are still in high school and to provide support for a seamless transition immediately into post-secondary education. However, this funding only covers ancillary services provided by the EOPS program. We are going to hire the new Financial Aid Special Programs Coordinator position to co-coordinate the Grossmont College Guardian Scholars Program, which will be dedicated to serving former Foster Youth of all ages, including those students outside the eligibility criterion of the CAFYES program (i.e. those students who were in the foster care program between the ages of 13 and 16). Specific services to this population include the following:

● Early outreach ● Financial advising ● Housing referrals ● Emergency grant awards ● Book vouchers ● Meal cards ● Student engagement through Guardian Scholars sponsored activities (i.e. thanksgiving dinners, student workshops, etc.)

• Link to Goal

As stated in the recent study Charting the Course: Using Data to Support Foster Youth College Success (conducted by RTI International, the John Burton Foundation and the Stuart Foundation), Financial Aid plays a pivotal role in properly equipping students so that they can be successful in their courses. Many foster youth are forced to drop out of college due to the financial burdens they face, specifically housing (many foster youth students are at-risk of homelessness). Until a student’s basic needs can be met, successful course completion will be unattainable. This position will provide focused financial aid support services and referrals for foster youth students in coordination with academic support services provided through the EOPS program.

• Evaluation

All foster youth data currently collected via the Student Equity Plan will continue to be analyzed. Course and program completion, retention and persistence rates for former foster youth will be compared to other student populations and also disaggregated by foster youth participating in the CAFYES program and foster youth students not eligible to participate in the CAFYES program. Student surveys and focus groups will also be conducted to obtain qualitative data to determine the specific barriers these students face to determine if the interventions listed above are working or if they need to be re-evaluated and improved or replaced with other interventions. Quantitative Data will be collected annually from District Institutional Research and Qualitative data will be collected bi-annually through surveys and focus groups.

The tutoring center provides tutors to each targeted group: African-Americans, Foster Youth, Asians, Hispanic/Latinos, Males, and students who fall in the 30-39 year old age range. The Tutoring Center is currently open 51 hours a week and the number of tutoring sessions has increased 897% since fall 2009. The Tutoring Center has 100 tutors and an additional 30 tutors stationed in other campus labs; this is too much for one person to supervise. Evening supervision of the Tutoring Center is not available at all. Without additional help Tutoring Center hours will have to be reduced which reduces student access to tutoring services, impeding student success and successful completion of courses.

The tutoring center regularly keeps statistics on number of students served and number of appointments held. The make an appointment a student must provide a student ID and list the class they need tutoring for. In order to assess the success of this program in relation to student equity goals and to develop measurable objectives, the Tutoring Center staff would need to meet with the District’s Institutional Research Department to determine best methods to track the specific student populations and how using Tutoring Services impacts their success as a Grossmont student. This quantitative data should be continually gathered and along with the qualitative data reviewed on an annual basis.

ESL and Basic Skills Completion

ESL AND BASIC SKILLS COMPLETION. C. The ratio of the number of students by population group who complete a degree-applicable course after having completed the final ESL or basic skills course compared to the number of those students who complete such a final ESL or basic skills course.

With the exception of the foster youth data (which are reported as part of the college KPI report), the data reported below are based on the Student Success Scorecard remedial progress rates. The initial cohort of students is comprised of those first-time students whose first attempt in an English, ESL, or math course was below transfer-level (ENGL-120 or MATH 103/110). The cohort year is based on the academic year of the first attempt. Students with successful outcomes are those students who successfully completed the corresponding transfer-level course within six years of their first attempt.

Complete data tables and a description of methodologies used to determine disproportionate impact can be found in Appendix A of this plan document.

Data Observations Through a comparative analysis of basic skills progress data beginning with the 2004-05 cohort and ending with the 2008-09 cohort, the following observations were made:

• Basic skills progress rates for African American/Black students are greater than ten percentage points below average in both English and math and remain the highest of any race/ethnic group.

• Hispanic/Latino and Pacific Islander groups are disproportionately impacted in all three disciplines (English, ESL, and math).

• Gaps in success rates for progress through English basic skills coursework, compared to the average successful progress rate for all students, increase with increasing age groups. Students who are 40+ years in age are successfully progressing through the English coursework at a rate of 24.5 percent, a full 21 percentage points lower than the average.

• Foster youth progress rates in English fall greater than 10 percentage points below average and are 27 percentage points below average in math.

Conclusions: Disproportionately Impacted Student Groups In summary, the student groups that are experiencing gaps in basic skills completion (as defined in the header for this section) are:

• Activity Implementation Plan This college-wide activity focuses on the development of a college-wide retention program in order to help students "Keep Moving" along the educational pathway. We know that 74% of our students complete the first three semesters of college and 69% reach the completion of 30 units of coursework, but only 50% complete some type of degree, certificate, or are college-transfer ready. As a result, we need to put more effort into identifying where students are falling off, why, and what we can do to support them in staying in college. A student who is at-risk (perhaps low GPA) is may be identified and assisted by classroom instructor or support person on campus, but in most cases they are left to their own devices to find support services on campus. This initiative will provide a more intrusive approach to assistance by identifying and actively reaching out to students who may be at-risk of failing a class or stopping out, connecting them with the needed resources, and following up.

This activity includes the following *At-risk students will be identified (either at application if new, or at the end of each semester if a current student) * Retention specialist will follow up with students to assess reasons for lack of progress, and connect them with needed resources perform follow-up to progress * Mentors will work with students or student groups throughout the semester to help keep them on track. It is anticipated that these mentors may include local community members and members of the students' families. In addition, peer mentors will be identified to assist students throughout each semester. * The college is currently seeking to identify an early alert system that can be used to more efficiently identify students who are experiencing challenges or are having academic difficulty. In order to implement such a system, we need to make sure that we get the

support and participation of faculty, staff, and administrators. An "early alert" system directs students to different resources and student services on campus (e.g. instructor, library reference desk, Math Study Center, English Writing Center, General Tutoring Center, Counseling, EOPS. DSPS, Financial Aid).

In order to properly implement a comprehensive retention program we will need to hire a Student Equity Specialist to coordinate with targeted retention specialists (e.g. athletics, Allied Health, Middle Eastern, Hispanic/Latino, African American/Black, and foster youth) and mentors to monitor the academic progress of students and follow-up with instructional faculty. This position will also be responsible for contacting those students who show signs of unsatisfactory progress and refer them to assistance programs. An additional full-time administrative assistant will also be needed to support the office of student success and equity.

This program is currently the only program target to specifically address the African American population at Grossmont College. The African American population is the population that has show the highest number of disproportional impact of any population studied to date. This equity funding is both historic and fortuitous; ECS-Umoja has a long track record of successfully serving African American and other underrepresented students, and with a significant augmentation in staffing, resources and programming we can build on that success and exponentially expand our impact.

The following is a set of recommendations, which will need to be aligned with the format of the Equity proposal template. The first category is directly related to expanding and building the infrastructure of ECS- Umoja; the second category is related to the broader African American community of students.

1) Increase re-assigned time for Umoja Coordinator to 100 percent. Although African Americans have some of highest disproportional

impacts and the most disproportional impacts, no individual has as their sole responsibility to address these issues. Umoja has functioned with its leadership coming from a counselor who has partial release time. This has proven to be a limitation on the program as this individual is responsible for coordination of outreach, communication, activities development and execution, and providing direct counseling to Umoja students. To establish the program to be successful and to expand the program the coordinator needs to be full time. We propose to move the Umoja Coordinator to a full time position.

2) Increase the Umoja Adjunct Counselor hours to 75%. Currently with the limited time the adjunct counselor has, he can only provide support in providing direct counseling services to Umoja students and limited support on activity development and execution. To be able to expand Umoja, more time will be needed from the adjunct. The Adjunct Counselor will be dedicated to Educational Planning, Mentoring and Leadership components of the program.

3) Add Social Worker position at 50%.Being low income, first generation and academically disadvantaged, many Umoja students face several challenges that are beyond those directly related to academic support. Often they are dealing with child care, housing, food and transportation issues along with domestic challenges. These issues have not been able to be directly addressed with the limited staffing currently available. However, these issues often overwhelm students and directly impact their academic success. We propose to add a social worker to the Umoja staff to help provide assistance to Umoja students in these areas.

4) Hiring an Administrative Assistant. For reasons beyond the scope of this proposal, Umoja students, like other disadvantaged students, require a much higher personal touch than other students. Efficient electronic communication systems often are not effective with these students. As a result, the program has done much of its communication with Umoja students through the use of student workers and student volunteers. With such constraints, it is difficult to maintain frequent and quality communication about the program. With a goal of expanding the program both in number of students served and number of activities provided, this crucial management aspect must be addressed. Therefore, we propose the hiring of a full time administrative assistant dedicated to the Umoja program. This position would allow for regular consistent communication as well a support with coordination of activities.

5) Implement Mentoring Program—It is well established that Mentoring helps students succeed. Mentors help students understand how the institution of education works, helps them feel connected to the institution and addresses important affective domains for students. Mentoring would help Umoja students succeed. However, with the current limitation on staffing there are insufficient staffing resources to develop and run a mentoring program. We propose to provide the resources needed to provide a mentoring program specifically targeted at the needs of Umoja students.

4) Student Advocates and Tutors. Embedded tutors can be an effective way to provide academic support to students. Like the embedded librarian concept below, this proposed to provide embedded tutors in key classes that are identified as barriers to Umoja student success.

5) Expand the students served. The program currently serves 40 – 60 first year students and another 50 – 70 continuing. Hire an Outreach specialist part-time (the other 50% of this position could be social worker), and employ students to be on the outreach team (Funding Source: SSSP, Goal A, 1)

6) Expand the curriculum to include African American Leadership courses (This requires FTE for courses, will be requested from Vice- President of Academic Affairs and Enrollment Management Committee, in the context of the larger equity-initiative to close the achievement gap, that we be granted these FTE)

7) Professional development at statewide Umoja Summer Learning Institute, Regional Symposium, and annual conference for faculty, staff and students. Feeling a sense of connection to other students and the sense that one is not alone in one’s struggles can be an important affective impact on student success. We propose to have both students and staff participate in Umoja specific development activities sponsored by the statewide Umoja Program.

8) Create a discretionary fund to address physical factors that impact student success. The majority of Umoja students face challenging financial situations while attending school. I addition to the traditional academic supports that are important to student success, support for pragmatic challenges is key to helping Umoja students stay in school so that they can take advantage of other academic support service. Experience has found that these physical support needs fall into 4 key categories: books, food, transportation and childcare. Emergency support for unexpected housing related issues also is needed occasionally. Much like the abilities embedded with EOPS/CARE programs, we would like to establish the ability to assist Umoja students with these critical needs. Therefore, we propose to establish a discretionary fund to be used with appropriate review and authorization process for the following items:

• Book vouchers

• Meal cards/vouchers • Bus passes/gas cards • Child care • Emergency grant awards

9) In support of Umoja students challenges in funding the books that are needed to be successful students, we propose to expand the number of textbooks available for students to access through the Grossmont library. Working with the library after examining the key classes that many Umoja students take, we will seek the most cost effective manner to ensure that multiple copies of books for key classes or books that are particular expensive are on reserve in the library for use by Umoja students. This objective will be executed in conjunction with other programs with similar objectives to ensure maximal impact to all students targeted through the use of Equity funds.

10) Host events and professional development forums to increase ECS-Umoja family with faculty, staff and admin across campus. Helping the Grossmont community to understand the needs of Umoja students will help to create a climate on campus that supports Umoja student success. Consequently we propose to develop and execute a series of professional development activities targeted at the greater Grossmont community to help better inform them of the needs of challenges of Umoja students and inform them of the Umoja program.

The above activities are designed to address the disproportional impact experienced by African American students by addressing their academic needs, there affective needs, their pragmatic life needs as well as building a climate of understanding and support on the Grossmont campus. We believe addressing all of these domains will result in greater success of African American students.

• Evaluation Quantitative data will be collected on all activities through post activities evaluations. Student success will be tracked through disaggregated Key Performance Indicator data already collected by the campus. Qualitative data will be collected through focus groups and any climate related data collected by the campus that can be disaggregated.

An annual review of the program along with data evaluating the activities will be done.

• Activity Implementation Plan

ESL linked courses connect a core grammar and writing course to a supplementary reading and vocabulary development course. These linked courses provide students with a more intensive language learning experience than segmented classes, and results have shown that students who enroll in these courses have greater success (ESL Program Review, 2011). To address the disproportionate impact for the students identified in the table above, the ESL faculty need to further strengthen these links through the development of integrated learning modules (including curriculum activities, exercises, and assignments), to include thematic units focused on civics, social justice, career options, the environment, student success, and other content-based units.

Link to Goal Through this activity, the focus of each lesson will be on contextualized learning on themes of high interest and importance to student success at college and in the community. Students will be provided the opportunity to improve their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills through these collaborative educational links, in which teachers work closely together to relate content and develop lessons to address the specific language needs of their students. Teachers will also work together to monitor student progress and take effective steps to assist students who find themselves struggling in a course.

Evaluation

The development of SLO assessments and the analysis of those results are included in this project. SLO data will be collected in each linked course and reported in TracDat. Instructors will meet to review the results and make modifications to lessons and assessments as needed.

them that they are capable of doing college-level work. Dual enrollment can also reduce the cost of college by providing college credit, textbooks, and supplies at no cost.

• Evaluation The standardized SLO assessments for ESL 103, ESL 106, and ESL 119 will be used to collect data and evaluate the success of the students who participate in dual enrollment each semester.

Activity Implementation Plan The ESL department would like to have an in-class tutor available for every core grammar, reading, and writing course. These tutors would work closely with the instructors for the duration of semester and may attend all class or only certain class meeting days each week. They will not only serve as peer tutors but also as model students who employ successful language learning strategies and habits. They will provide one-to-one mini-tutorials in class and potentially during faculty office hours as well as assist in facilitating in-class group work. In addition, embedded tutors can help students connect with college academic support services, such as the Tutoring Center, English Writing Center, DSPS, EOPS/CARE, CalWORKs, and the Counseling Center.

nk to Goal

The majority of Hispanics, Filipinos, and Pacific Islanders who enroll in GC ESL classes place at the ESL 103, 106, and 119 levels. Embedded tutoring will make it possible to provide more individualized attention and feedback to these students during class activities. The embedded tutors can provide these students the extra help they need to gain a greater understanding of the materials presented in class and assist them in becoming active in the learning process. In addition, embedded tutoring will also expose these students to the benefits of tutoring, which they may not seek otherwise.

• Evaluation

The primary way in which the ESL department evaluates success is through the SLOAC process. The standardized SLO assessments for ESL 103, ESL 106, and ESL 119 will be used to collect data and evaluate the success of the Hispanic, Filipino, and Pacific Islander students who work with embedded tutors. ESL instructors will meet each semester to review the results, identify the students’ strengths and weaknesses and make modifications to lessons and assessments as needed.

Degree and Certificate Completion

CAMPUS-BASED RESEARCH: DEGREE AND CERTIFICATE COMPLETION D.D DEGREE AND CERTIFICATE COMPLETION. The ratio of the number of students by population group who receive a degree or certificate to the number of students in that group with the same informed matriculation goal as documented in the student educational plan developed with a counselor/advisor.

Indicator Definitions The degree and certificate completion data are derived from the completion cohorts in the Student Success Scorecard. The completion cohorts comprise of first time students in the system that earned at least six units (within six years of their first enrollments) and attempted any level of math or English within three years.

Complete data tables and a description of methodologies used to determine disproportionate impact can be found in Appendix A of this plan document.

Data Observations Through a comparative analysis of degree and certificate completion data beginning with the 2004-05 cohort and ending with the 2008-09 cohort, the following observations were made:

• Degree and certificate completion rates have fluctuated for all disproportionately impacted race/ethnic groups over the reporting period.

• While all the groups have completion rates that are below average by fewer than 3 percentage points, the overall average completion rate for degrees and certificates remains very low at 17%.

Conclusions: Disproportionately Impacted Student Groups In summary, the student groups that are experiencing gaps in degree and certificate completion (as defined in the header for this section) are:

Target Population Success Rate (%) Average Rate Overall (%)

Gap (in percentage point difference*)

African American/Black 14.4 16.9 -2.5 American Indian 16.7 16.9 -0.2 Filipino 16.5 16.9 -0.4 Hispanic/Latino 14.2 16.9 -2.7 Pacific Islander 14.8 16.9 -2.1 Male 14.8 16.9 -2.1 20-24 Years 14.5 16.9 -2.4 25-39 Years 16.4 16.9 -0.5

• Activity Implementation Plan Grossmont College is in need of a Student Engagement Center to create, implement and execute student engagement opportunities that create a sense of belonging for our underrepresented students on campus through programming and leadership opportunities. The goal is to provide a space for students to develop community, to recognize and empower student through teaching and learning based on a social justice framework. A Student Equity Coordinator will need to be hired to coordinate activities in the Center, train student leaders, and provide follow up services to students to ensure academic and personal success through leadership development. The Student Equity Coordinator will also build a strong connection between the underrepresented student organizations (Puente, Umoja and other student club organizations that represent populations that are disproportionately impacted) Student Services, Academic Affairs and the College wide committees that create, promote and enrich diversity equity and inclusion on campus. The Coordinator will build community between students through retreats, workshops, planning and programming events. Students will learn about their identity and the value of completing college.

Community Service Learning seeks to create opportunities for students to apply classroom knowledge and skills in a meaningful and integrated context, while developing students’ capacity to apply learning and to assume leadership roles in the community. It is anticipated that the CSL program will be an integral part of the college's student engagement center mentioned in D.1. In order to successfully grow the CSL Program, the following are needed:

• A staff coordinator to expand the number and breadth of community partnerships, and to manage the logistics of the CSL program. This coordinator would serve as a liaison between faculty/students and the community. This coordinator would also work directly with Student Services.

• A faculty coordinator [with a partial course release] to promote the program on campus and to organize faculty interested in expanding their integration of CSL in the classroom. This faculty coordinator would manage ongoing CSL FIGS, learning workshops, and other instructional elements of the CSL program. The faculty coordinator would also work to expand the on-campus tutoring program (already in place and operating in the psychology department.) This branch of the program uses students in higher-level courses to serve as tutors for students in lower-level and basic skills courses.

• A website to establish an online presence for the CSL program. The website will be a resource for faculty, students, and the community.

• Promotional materials for faculty, students, and community partners. • Funding to offset community partner’s security clearance fees for students in need. • Funding for CSL-professional development related activities such as conferences and guest speakers. • Day of Service funding – transportation, lunch, promotional materials.

• Link to Goal Service-learning connects students more deeply to their coursework, and provides opportunities for students to collaborate with their peers, faculty, and the campus to work collectively towards a more just and equitable society. Sustained funding for the CSL program will allow faculty to more efficiently implement CSL curriculum into their courses. This, in turn, will help to institutionalize the program across campus.

• Evaluation

At least 15 CSL FIG faculty across disciplines will be implementing CSL curriculum into their Spring 2016 courses. Most of the short-term data will come from their efforts. Future data collections will be ongoing.

Short term-data will be mainly qualitative, based on student and faculty written and video reflections on their service-learning experiences. All faculty participating in the FIG will be responsible for submitting this information at the end of the Fall 2016 semester. In the short term, faculty will also do a comparative analysis of course grades based on student participation in service-learning activities.

Long-term assessment will be based on longitudinal data collections of students participating in the CSL program. This data will be analyzed to determine the relationship between CSL and student success and retention rates. The data will also be assessed to determine the impact that CSL has on shrinking the equity gaps.

• Activity Implementation Plan Fund a CTE/WD retention specialist that will coordinate activities for non-traditional student populations that are aiming for a CTE/WD degree or credential that stop out of certificates and degrees. Such activities include but are not limited to career exploration events, CTE/WD open houses, workforce development sector panels, and helping with the development of education plans. Every semester 200- 500 in CTE/WD students stop out and fail to continue pursuing their education pathways, with a large portion being in CTE/WD. The CTE/WD retention specialist aims to curtail the impact of stop outs on degree and certificate completion, therefore increase graduation rates and placements. The CTE/WD retention specialist will regularly follow up with students who are seeking to re-matriculate or continue their matriculation into CTE/WD education pathways.

Fund a CTE/WD Career Specialist that will increase opportunities for CTE/WD students to develop personally, professionally, and academically in career readiness services and cooperative work experience. Aid under-represented populations in gaining cooperative work experience in industries lead by dominant social groups. Workshops in career development will use Popular Education pedagogy with a focus on social justice. Collaboration will be between students, faculty, career center staff, and industry professionals.

The CTE/WD Career Specialist will provide services during a variety of days and times to accommodate varied student schedules (one weekday evening per week, one weekend per month).

Branding, outreach, and marketing of programs in CTE/WD are limited. By having clear pathways that are visual, students will increase their chances of choosing the correct classes or programs that correspond to a career. A marketing firm will be contracted to present options and to create the visuals that represent diverse student body.

• Link to Goal Because CTE/WD students are often first generation college students and looking for employment, a CTE/WD retention specialist will help students navigate the terrain of the college and increase their chances of success. Also, the CTE/WD retention specialist will act as a mentor and help students negotiate unfamiliar territories experienced in college settings. Industries are often lead by dominant social groups, the CTE/WD career specialist will help diverse students become career ready by providing career development workshops and cooperative work experience. Involvement in career readiness services and cooperative work experiences will aid in students’ academic success. Students learn visually for a large majority of them. By creating visual maps, the pathways in CTE/WD will be clearer and allows students to make more relevant matriculation choices.

Due to the sudden loss of intrusive support, many students don’t follow through to completion. The Transition to Success program would allow for the continuity of services for this student population by using non-EOPS categorical funds towards a high-at risk student population. Funds would provide lunch tickets, bus passes, textbook vouchers, part-time counseling and gas cards.

CAMPUS-BASED RESEARCH: TRANSFER Transfer

E. The ratio of the number of students by population group who complete a minimum of 12 units and have attempted a transfer level course in mathematics or English, to the number of students in that group who actually transfer after one or more (up to six) years.

CAMPUS-BASED RESEARCH: TRANSFER The transfer rate data are derived from the completion cohorts in the Student Success Scorecard. The completion cohorts comprise of first time students in the system that earned at least six units (within six years of their first enrollments) and attempted any level of math or English within three years. The completion cohorts were then matched against the National Student Clearinghouse, CSU, and UC data files to find students enrolled in four year universities within six years of the time students first enrolled at the college.

Complete data tables and a description of methodologies used to determine disproportionate impact can be found in Appendix A of this plan document.

Data Observations Through a comparative analysis of transfer rate data beginning with the 2004-05 cohort and ending with the 2008-09 cohort, the following observations were made:

• The total number of American Indian students remains fairly small (an average of 28 students per year), but they exhibit the greatest gap in transfer rate below average at 12%.

• As might be expected, gaps in transfer rate below average increase with increasing age groups, but the 20-24 age group still remains disproportionately impacted with a gap of 6% below the average transfer rate.

• Students with a reported disability status are also disproportionately impacted with respect to transfer, with a rate gap of 14% below average.

Conclusions: Disproportionately Impacted Student Groups In summary, the student groups that are experiencing gaps in transfer (as defined in the header for this section) are:

Target Population Success Rate (%) Average Rate Overall (%)

Gap (in percentage point difference*)

• Activity Implementation Plan Implement the PUENTE program at Grossmont College in order to improve the retention of Hispanic students and increase their transfer rates to four-year colleges and universities. Data provided by the state PUENTE office for the Fall 2007 and Fall 2008 cohorts (the last cohorts offered at Grossmont College) indicates a 10% higher fall-to-fall persistence rate for the cohorts as compared to the fall-to-fall persistence rates of all other Grossmont College students. This data also indicates that the six-year transfer rates are even more impressive for PUENTE students. For example, on average, Grossmont College PUENTE students had a transfer rate of 63.8% while all other Grossmont College students had an on average transfer rate of 40%. Currently, our institutional data indicates a gap of -5.6 for Hispanic student transfer success, with Hispanic students experiencing 31.5% transfer success versus 37.1 average overall transfer success. As our data from past PUENTE cohorts indicates, this particular student success program demonstrates promise in reducing transfer inequities. In order to make serious progress in reducing disproportionate impact for underrepresented groups, the college will need to implement both large scale and targeted approaches, such as PUENTE. Implementing PUENTE will require funding in three main areas: FT English faculty co-coordinator @ .25 FTE, FT Counselor @ .50 FTE, and ten hours a week in clerical support.

• Link to Goal Students enroll with the same PUENTE instructor for classes over one academic year which creates a supportive environment for students through the curriculum. The courses integrate Latino and other multicultural literature in combination with skill-appropriate scaffolding for texts that build in rhetorical and thematic complexity. Students are also provided with an opportunity to use mentors and their communities as a resource for writing and to develop their relationships with their mentors. The courses offer an environment that provide students with the support and motivation likely to enable them to transfer. The PUENTE counselor provides academic, personal, and career counseling to prepare students to transfer to a four-year college or university. To help build the educational support network necessary for the students’ success, the counselor also integrates the students’ families into the program.

• Evaluation

We will track the success and transfer rates of PUENTE students transferring to four-year institutions. We will conduct cohort analyses every three years. We will also conduct student focus groups to gain an understanding of the PUENTE experience and how it may be helping students achieve their academic goals.

• Activity Implementation Plan Institute the MESA (Math, Engineering, Science Achievement) Community College Program at Grossmont College. The MESA program serves economically and educationally disadvantaged students majoring in a STEM field. The primary goals of the MESA program are to provide academic support and help students to successfully transfer to four-year universities. There are currently 33 California Community College MESA programs of which 30 are funded by the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office. The main components of the program include an orientation course, academic tutoring and workshops, academic advising/counseling, dedicated student study center, assistance in the transfer process, career and professional development, links with student and professional organizations, and industry partnerships.

To be a designated MESA college and to receive state funds ($50,000) from the Chancellor’s office on an annual basis, a college must have, at the minimum the following in place for designation.

1) The district/college will be responsible for the salary of the full time MESA Director. Grant funds may not be used for this position. 2) A MESA clerical support position of at least 50% time will be maintained. Grant funds may be used for this position. 3) Grant funds will provide for Director attendance at Statewide Meetings during the academic year. Three to four meetings per year will be required of directors. 4) Required deliverables will include, a) a Renewal RFA, due before March 30; a. b) A Mid-Year Report, due before January 31, c) a Final Report, including the “Forms Section” on July 31. (Dates may vary according to funding cycle) 5) Programs receiving the full funding amount will be expected to serve 125 or more students. 6) Dedicated space.

• Link to Goal California faces a serious shortage of college graduates to fill the increasing job vacancies in the STEM fields. To respond to this shortage, California must increase the number of STEM graduates in the coming years. MESA can help bring this number up by increasing the number of our own STEM students to successfully transfer to four-year universities. MESA provides academic support so that students from educationally disadvantaged backgrounds can overcome academic barriers to realize their academic potential and successfully compete for a place in college. Because MESA students share common majors, common classes, and common interests, they form a learning community that fosters collaborative learning, support, and success. Having a dedicated MESA center also allows students to get

• Activity Implementation Plan We plan to collect more disaggregated data in order to assess equity in access, course completion, basic skills completion, degree/certificate completion, and transfer for men of color, specifically. Previous institutional studies have indicated disproportionate impact for underrepresented minority males. We plan to consult with our Minority Male Community College Collaborative (M2C3) partners on administering the Community College Survey of Men and/or the Community College Success Inventory for Men of Color. We will also collaborate with M2C3 to determine the need for conducting focus groups using their Community College Insights protocol. Once we have the data, we will assemble an interdisciplinary team of practitioners to produce additional action plan goals/activities to address any areas of disproportionate impact.

In addition, Grossmont College has a large population of Middle Eastern students, including an increasing number of refugees from Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan. Unfortunately Grossmont does not have any data on this group of students. It is unclear how to determine what services our Middle Eastern population has used and currently needs in order to assist with their academic success. The college provides several resources to help our students succeed, however we do not have any documentation that shows if our Middle Eastern students are utilizing them. To help with data collection, all enrolled students have the option to identify their race or ethnicity; however Middle Eastern students do not have a specific category; instead they are forced to identify with Caucasian, Other, or Decline to answer. The college has been discussing the option of using supplemental application questions to assist in obtaining additional demographic information on these, and other students including LGTBQI students. In addition, through deployment of regular surveys we can begin to track the numbers of these students, the percentages that take advantage of our services, the course completion rates, the numbers enrolled in transfer-level courses and those enrolled in Basic Skills in order to better serve their educational needs.

• Link to Goal The goal of M2C3 (Minority Male Community College Collaborative) is to partner with community colleges across the United States to enhance access, achievement, and success among minority male community college students. M2C3’s research and practice agenda prioritizes men who have been traditionally underrepresented and underserved in postsecondary education. The Community College Survey of Men (CCSM© ) is a tool for establishing student outcome benchmarks, monitoring student performance; and identifying issues in need of enhanced attention. The CCSM© is the only instrument designed specifically for measuring factors that impact the success for minority male community college students. Its scales focus directly on environmental variables (which, we describe as “extrinsic mediators”), non-cognitive outcomes, and measures of involvement (which, we describe as “academic immersion”). The Community College Success Inventory for men of color was designed to be used by community college leaders to assess their institutions’ efforts and readiness to facilitate success for men of color in community colleges. The development of this inventory was based on an extensive review of published literature on men of color in community colleges. The Community College Insights Protocol (CCIP) is a focus group process that is used to obtain qualitative insights about how men of color experience community colleges.

As of now Grossmont College does not have any data on Middle Eastern students and completion of ESL, Transfer Data, and utilization of campus resources. If we had data on the Middle Eastern population we would be able to determine how it is we can support their achievement and success at the college. Our refugee population have witnessed horrible atrocities and are in need of counseling but do

not realize that these services are available to them. We currently only have one part-time trained non-academic counselor, with an additional Retention Specialist to support this population The Data collected will help determine how many students identify with Middle Eastern and what type of programming, professional development and activities needed to assist our students to succeed.

• Evaluation

We will conduct cohort analyses to track progress in achieving equity in access, course completion, basic skills completion, degree/certificate completion, and transfer for men of color using the tools that have been made available by M2C3: Community College Survey of Men, and/or Community College Success Inventory for Men of Color, and/or the Community College Insights protocol. Therefore, evaluation will be comprehensive using both quantitative and qualitative measures. The cohort analyses data will be collected every three years. We will consult with our M2C3 partners to determine the frequency of collecting quantitative data.

The Retention Specialist will be able to track the numbers of students enrolled, the percentage that utilize our academic services, such as the writing center, tutoring services and the student engagement center. The Retention Specialist will also track their course completion rates, the numbers enrolled in transfer-level courses and the numbers enrolled in Basic Skills through case management and working with the students on a one-on-one basis. Qualitative data will be collected through focus groups via the student groups previously mentioned 2-4 times per semester.

• Activity Implementation Plan Because faculty and staff are at varying levels of awareness and capacity to support and instruct students with diverse needs and backgrounds, The PD Equity Plan consists of the following activities designed to address the professional learning needs of faculty and staff:

• Hosting a Faculty Experiential Learning Academy (FELI) in partnership with the Academy for College Excellence

The purpose of ACE is to help campuses create a holistic program designed to support students, particularly from low-income, first generation college student families, develop agency and a support system so that they learn to use their “street smarts” in an academic and professional setting. A small cohort of campus members will attend Faculty Experiential Learning Institute (FELI) in Berkeley in January in order to experience the ACE curriculum. In June, Grossmont College will host a FELI here on campus, with the aim of having 35 – 50 faculty attend.

• Summer Faculty Teaching and Learning Institute (FTLI) for Part Time Faculty Fellows Program:

This activity will build on the success of last summer’s first FTLI, this 8-day professional learning institute, designed primarily for part time faculty affords part time faculty the opportunity learn culturally responsive teaching methodologies in order to meet the needs of our diverse population of students, particularly those students who have been historically underrepresented and underserved. Faculty will complete a Course Implementation Project in which they plan for, implement, and assess a change they will make to their course curriculum based on what they have learned during the institute.

• Minority Male in the Community College Collaborative (M2C3) Administrator and Department Leader Retreats:

Two campus retreats designed to develop and increase leadership capacity among those faculty and administrators who are in campus leadership roles, and who are essential to moving the work with diversity, equity, and inclusion forward. One retreat will be for Campus Administrators, and one for Campus Department Leaders. Each retreat will begin with an overview of trends and issues. The Administrator retreat will focus on how to welcome and increase engagement on campus and in the classroom from the perspective of administration, and will close with an Equity Gap Analysis. The Department Leader Retreat will focus on Teaching and Learning with men of color and how to gain buy-in from faculty and will end with an Equity Gap Analysis from the perspective of Departmental Leadership.

As such, we plan to increase the number of faculty who are trained in this methodology who are: 1) currently teaching accelerated courses, 2) interested in teaching an accelerated English course in the future, and 3) content area specialists from across disciplines. In addition, we will send four faculty to the Summer Leadership Institute in Oakland so that they can return and mentor faculty in this methodology.

• Faculty training courses for online teaching and learning: Data provided to the DL subcommittee by the district research and

planning department shows that our success and retention rates are lower for DL classes than that of traditional face-to-face classes. This is especially true for our African American/Black, Hispanic/Latino, Pacific Islander, and foster youth students. Therefore the understanding and implement good design principles using the standard of universal design for all students, accessibility and student engagement are important for the creation of a strong and inclusive learning environment.

• [re]Fresh Fridays: Successfully launched in Spring 2015 and expanded upon in 2015 Fall, these Friday sessions have been envisioned

as opportunities for faculty, classified staff, and administrators to reinvigorate at the end of the work week by exploring provocative ideas and engaging in conversations with colleagues. The aim of the Spring 2016 sessions continues to be to strengthen campus connections and – through the meaningful reflections they spark – to further inform and inspire our ongoing development and, in turn, our individual and collective efforts in support of student success and equity.

• New Faculty Orientation The Spring 2016 new faculty orientation program this spring is firmly rooted in this definition, with the “goal”

being our new faculty’s individual success as well as our collective success as an institution. More specifically, this program will offer information, resources, and a reflective forum in immediate support of classroom practices and orient participants to the campus mission and culture, processes, and initiatives. Produced by the Professional Development Office, funds will go to support material costs and hosted lunches.

Each of the professional development activities identified above aims to support faculty, administration, and staff in their primary work on campus – their efforts to facilitate the success of all students. In each activity faculty are provided opportunities to deepen their understanding of our students and the nature and process of learning, to engage with related research, and to have opportunities to reflect on and improve their practices and their role in the student experience on campus.

The overall professional development equity plan will achieve the aims of the indicators above by taking a multipronged approach. Drs. Harris and Wood point out that in any change initiative related to equity and diversity, we could categorize individuals in terms of these mindsets, and note as such, professional development needs to address learners where they are.

• Evaluation Post-activity survey data will be collected at the end of each activity in order to capture impressionistic feedback about the usefulness, efficacy, and quality of the activity. Post activity qualitative data will be collected at regular intervals beyond the activity in order to evaluate any lasting impact Where appropriate, for activities where the aim is to changing a curricular approach (Reading Apprenticeship, FTLI) we will collect qualitative data to capture student impressions of the curricular change proposed. We will work with M2C3 and ACE to investigate and use their evaluation tools to capture data about overall changes in student perceptions about their experiences on campus We will continue to analyze cohort data to capture any trends related to student success, retention, and persistence.

• Activity Implementation Plan A. Open the library at 7:30am Monday through Friday to allow access to library computers (for printing purposes) and course reserve

textbooks before class start time at 8:00 am

Currently our library opens at 8:00am, which is too late for students needing to borrow a course reserve book or print a paper to get to their 8:00 classes on time; this negatively affects the level of classroom success for students who cannot afford a textbook or who do not own a computer and printer at home.

In order to open earlier a multi-media technician assistant is necessary. This position is a Level 21. Step A is $2439 per month. Our goal would be to hire this person in the fall semester to work when the library is open in the fall, intersession, spring, and summer sessions.

In addition the library adjunct budget will need to be supplemented by $5,625 and the student worker budget will need to be supplemented by $1130 to cover the additional 113 hours a year that the library will be open.

B. Provide Reserve Textbooks to low-income students who struggle to pay for textbooks. The library can ease the burden to these

students by providing access to required textbooks so they may access the information necessary for their college education. The funding will affect all student populations who cannot afford to purchase their own texts. Textbooks will be purchased from the Grossmont College Bookstore. The library will work with the bookstore requesting they order at least one additional copy of each title. To get textbooks to students in a timely manner, the books must be purchased, processed and cataloged between the date the Bookstore has them available and the first day of class; approximately a 2 week period. In order to handle this workload the hiring of temporary staffing will be necessary. We estimate approximately 300 books purchased over the fall and spring semester at a cost of $30,000. To process books a position equal to a Level 21 or NANCE Level 5 ($15.50 per hour) will be required. Estimating 20 minutes to process each book, it will take 100 hours of staff time for processing. Rate of $15.50/hour at 100 hours = $1,550. Original cataloging of

books will require a position equal to a faculty librarian ($39.10 per hour) will be required. Estimating 15 minutes to catalog each book, it will take 75 hours for cataloging. Rate of $39.10/hour for 75 hours = $2933.

• Activity Type(s) 76

A. Students who come from under-served income challenged backgrounds, rely on borrowing textbooks from the library. We must provide better access to reserve textbooks to all students who struggle to pay for textbooks. The library can ease the burden to these students by providing access to required textbooks so they may access the information necessary for their education. This will also provide access to technology for students in order to close the divide among those that cannot afford to purchase technology. This will be specifically helpful to students who do not have printers in their home so that they can utilize the library’s computers and printers to submit assignments. New hours will be advertised in all traditional venues and include new venues that will reach our target populations - we will work with counseling departments and the ASGC to help promote our extended hours and services.

B. Textbooks are required in virtually every class. Having textbooks available to students from underserved income challenged backgrounds at no cost to them will reduce risk of falling behind in studies and/or attrition. By having the Library purchase a copy of all textbooks for Reserves, and as many copies as funds will permit for high-demand books, the Library will be doing its part in ensuring that all students have equal access to the texts that they need.

• Evaluation A. Each year the department of Research and Planning distributes a Student Resource Survey. Question 20a - 20e, and question 21 of the

survey target Learning Resources. During the spring of 2016 librarians will work with Research and Planning to incorporate new questions into the existing survey that will assess if the targeted populations are utilizing the library during the earlier extended hours and if so, is it helping them to access materials and services needed in a timely manner. Gatecounts of number of people entering the library are kept, hourly usage counts are gathered, statistics for Reserve book checkouts are queried from the Integrated Library System, and hourly counts of reference assistance is maintained.

C. Data can be collected from the Library’s integrated library system, SirsiDynix eLibrary, to show the number of items held on reserve and the number of checkouts or in-house usage. Data should be collected during the entire semester and reviewed on an annual basis.

The Grossmont HR Director will lead the charge to provide direction, strategies, and means by which academic leaders can navigate and transform their departments and achieve a more inclusive and diverse population of staff and faculty. By providing metrics, training, and practical solutions, we can foster and develop better departmental plans for diversity. Leaders and department chairs / deans need to help promote the importance of diversity to our campuses. Our hiring practices need to immolate our student populations to help with our student success programs.

Retention of our diverse population is just as important. We need to provide avenues of socializing with others of color through monthly social hours. By changing our culture, building accountability structures through education, we can show an increase in diverse population of faculty and staff.

We will do this by: 1) Flex week Training on creating a diverse hiring committee and recruiting diverse applicants 2) Monthly Hire Smart (A comprehensive presentation on creating a hiring committee, embracing diversity, conducting and effective

interview, understanding challenges in the hiring process, knowing and recognizing bias and unconscious bias) 3) Social hour for faculty/staff of color building community and help to retain of staff and faculty

students. It is imperative that students, particularly students in our target groups, feel the campus is a safe space to connect with their peers, faculty and staff and continue their studies without fear of physical and psychological abuse. The CCC Student Mental Health Program says that in a “survey of 10,000 youth, LGBT youth were nearly twice as likely as non-LGBT youth to report having been excluded by peers at school, twice as likely to have been verbally harassed at school, three times as likely to feel that they do not fit in, and one-third less likely to report having an adult they can turn to for help (Human Rights Campaign, 2012).” SafeZone training of students, faculty and staff, as well as support for the SOGI Club (Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity) through inclusive events ensures a campus where students can be engaged and feel safe to complete their studies at Grossmont. The goal of the Safe Zone Ally Program is to provide a welcoming environment for SOGI people by establishing an identifiable network of culturally competent individuals to

provide encouragement, information, referrals, and a safe place within our campus community. Those who have committed to being trained Safe Zone Allies make this network visible and accessible by posting stickers on doors and pins on backpacks; they work to end discrimination and bias and other appropriate locations. This is the first semester of Grossmont’s SOGI Club, and there are already over 70 students who have attended the Club or its events, indicating this is a significant unmet need at the College. The purpose of SOGI is to create a safe and open community and provide space for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersexed, and asexual people and their allies, as well as other students that identify as non-heteronormative. SOGI endeavors to create a safe space for students to express and explore their identity without judgment, where they can be their full authentic selves, and receive peer support. The club strives to promote diversity and cultural awareness through meetings and activities and by challenging cultural norms that result in oppression.

SOGI students of color suffer from the multiple oppression of racism and homophobia. Many faculty and staff are sometimes unaware of the microaggressions they commit with students that alienate or create an environment that feels unsafe. SafeZones creates that awareness and a network of visible allies (through stickers and pins) where SOGI students can find mentorship and support from faculty, students and staff of color. The SOGI club, which is about 40% students of color, also provides the mentorship and support through weekly meetings and campus events.

EVALUATION OF DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT The data included in this appendix are part of an annual Key Performance Indicator (KPI) report prepared for Grossmont College by the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District (GCCCD). The KPI report makes extensive use of the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) Student Success Scorecard and DataMart, as well as local data. The data are disaggregated, where possible, by gender, age, ethnicity, disability status, economically disadvantaged status, veteran status, and foster youth status in order for the colleges to monitor achievement gaps. The Student Success Scorecard can be found at the following link: http://scorecard.cccco.edu/scorecard.aspx.

This Student Equity Plan presents two methodologies to measure disproportional impact for disaggregated subgroups within the California Community Colleges (CCC) student population: the 80% test and the proportionality test.

80% Test Disproportionate impact occurs when “the percentage of persons from a particular racial, ethnic, gender, age or disability group who are directed to a particular service or placement based on an assessment instrument, method, or procedure is significantly different from the representation of that group in the population of persons being assessed, and that discrepancy is not justified by empirical evidence demonstrating that the assessment instrument, method or procedure is a valid and reliable predictor of performance in the relevant educational setting.” [Title 5 Section 55502(d)]

The second-to-last column of all tables disaggregated by cohort student characteristics contains an evaluation of possible disproportionate impact for each subgroup of students using the “80% Rule” outlined in the 1978 Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures and was used in Title VII enforcement by the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission, Department of Labor, and the Department of Justice. The 80% Rule states that: “A selection rate for any race, sex, or ethnic group which is less than four-fifths (4/5) (or eighty percent) of the rate for the group with the highest rate will generally be regarded by the Federal enforcement agencies as evidence of adverse impact, while a greater than four-fifths rate will generally not be regarded by Federal enforcement agencies as evidence of adverse impact.” [Section 60-3, Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedure (1978); 43 FR 38295(August 25, 1978)]

Subgroups that do not comprise at least two percent of the cohort are denoted by with an asterisk (*). The bold percentage located at the bottom of the disproportionate impact column provides the outcome percentage of the reference group multiplied by 80 percent (the reference group is provided in parentheses).

Proportionality Test The last column of all tables contains the results obtained from the proportionality methodology. The proportionality methodology compares the percentage of a disaggregated subgroup in an initial cohort to its own percentage in the resultant outcome group. The formula for proportionality is the percentage in the outcome group

divided by the percentage in the original cohort (outcome percentage/cohort percentage). For example, 7.9 percent of the first-time, “degree/transfer-seeking” cohort is comprised of African American or black students; whereas 6.0 percent of the students who achieved a successful outcome (i.e., degree, certificate, transfer, or transfer-prepared) were African American or black students. Dividing 6.0% by 7.9% we find a proportionality index of 0.76. The higher the proportionality, the higher the rate at which a subgroup has attained a desired educational outcome; the lower the proportionality index, the lower the attainment rate.

The proportionality methodology does not specify at which point a proportionality index should be considered as a “disproportionate impact.” The designation of which disaggregated subgroups should be considered as disproportionately impacted will rely on the judgment of the analysis team at the college.

Proportionality Index Interpretation

1.0 Proportions of subgroups are equal.

Less Than 1.0 Subgroup is less prevalent in the outcome group.

More Than 1.0 Subgroup is more prevalent in the outcome group.

The summary tables on the following pages summarize the indicators of possible disproportionate impact by the different population groups of students across all measures investigated in this report. The summary categories are defined as:

ACCESS Access refers to the proportion of a given subpopulation enrolled in the college relative to that subpopulation’s size in the district’s service area. The college service area is defined by the zip codes in which 90% of the enrolled students reside in each given academic year (summer, fall, spring). The service area population estimates were extracted from SANDAG on 3/19/2015.

ESL AND BASIC SKILLS COMPLETION With the exception of the foster youth data, the data reported below are based on the Student Success Scorecard remedial progress rates. The initial cohort of students is comprised of those first-time students whose first attempt in an English, ESL, or math course was below transfer- level (ENGL-120 or MATH 103/110). The cohort year is based on the academic year of the first attempt. Students with successful outcomes are those students who successfully completed the corresponding transfer-level course within six years of their first attempt.

TRANSFER The transfer rate data are derived from the completion cohorts in the Student Success Scorecard. The completion cohorts comprise of first time students in the system that earned at least six units (within six years of their first enrollments) and attempted any level of math or English within three years. The completion cohorts were then matched against the National Student Clearinghouse, CSU, and UC data files to find students enrolled in four year universities within six years of the time students first enrolled at the college.
