TITLE: Affirmative Action Programs in the California
Community Colleges, 1990-91: An Annual Report to the Board
of Governors and the Legislature.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1991
NOTE: 12 p.; Discussed as agenda item 12 at a meeting of
the
Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges
(Sacramento, CA, September 12-13, 1991).
ABSTRACT: Through Assembly Bill (AB) 1725, the California
State Legislature provided two goals for staff diversity in
the state's community colleges. The near-term goal was to
achieve a 30% systemwide hiring rate of ethnic minorities
during the 1992-93 fiscal year, and the long-term goal was
to have a workforce in the community colleges that mirrored
the demographic characteristics of the state's population
by the year 2005. Figures on systemwide hires during the
period between fall 1988 and fall 1990 indicate that: (1)
of the 365 1988-89 and 326 1989-90
executive/administrative/managerial hires, 108 (29.6%) and
90 (27.6%) respectively were minorities; (2) of the 1,262
1988-89 and 1,228 1989-90 faculty hires, 337 (26.7%) and
381 (28.4%) were minorities; (3) of the 138 1989-90 and 124
1989 90 non-faculty professional hires, 54 (39.1%) and 42
(33.8%) were minorities; (4) of the 1,277 1988-89 and 1,312
1989-90 secretarial/clerical hires, 455 (35.6%) and 467
(35.5%) were minorities; (5) of the 113 1988-89 and 88
1989-90 skilled crafts hires, 34 (30.1%) and 29 (32.9%)
were minorities; and (6) of the 579 1988-89 and 565 1989-90
service/maintenance hires, 301 (52%) and 301 (53.2%) were
minorities. From 1984 through 1990, the participation rate
of women in faculties increased by 4.3%, while the number
of women faculty increased by 19.8%. The participation rate
of white employees for the same period decreased by 3.2%,
with the number of white faculty increasing by 2.7%. The
total number of faculty grew by 6.7% during the period,
with 72.4% of these positions being filled by ethnic
minorities. (JMC)
