ABSTRACT: This report presents the findings and
recommendations of a consulting team dedicated to helping
the Florida Division of Community Colleges achieve its goal
of enrolling and employing Blacks and other minorities in
approximate proportion to the 18- to 64-year-old population
of the State by 1980. This report includes: (1) a detailed
description of a data system designed to collect the
information on attrition and retention needed to monitor
progress toward this goal; (2) a discussion of methods of
developing alternative instructional delivery systems for
ensuring successful learning by minority students; (3) a
review of testing as a screening and diagnostic device,
accompanied by recommendations that group or standardized
tests yielding IQ scores be discontinued for use in the
community colleges of Florida and that student advisors be
urged to utilize other tools to assess student potential;
(4) discussions of the elements of an optimum human
relations atmosphere at community colleges and methods of
improving campus life and career awareness for minority
students; (5) descriptions of methods of recruiting and
retaining minority faculty, professional staff, and
students; and (6) a review of court cases relating to Title
IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and their implications
for Florida's community colleges. (DC)
