TITLE: An Analysis of Cuyahoga Community College's Progress
at Equal Opportunity Compliance.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1981
NOTE: 219 p.; Ed. D. Dissertation, Nova University.
ABSTRACT: Background information and findings are presented
for a study of Cuyahoga Community College's (CCC's)
progress toward equal opportunity compliance as of 1979-80
and of the interaction between three "subcultures" in the
history of this compliance. Chapter I identifies these
"subcultures" as the advocates, adversaries, and enforcers
of affirmative action. It also defines terms, identifies
study questions and limitations, and discusses the legal
mandates upon which compliance is judged in the study,
i.e., Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its
subsequent interpretation in Adams vs. Califano (1977).
Chapter II examines the Adams case and its implications for
higher education in Ohio and for public two-year colleges.
Chapter III outlines the methods used to determine
compliance in the areas of facilities, programs, and
employment. Chapter IV presents statistical and narrative
findings related to: (1) how CCC facility sites were
selected; (2) issues of and barriers to minority access to
these facilities; (3) how CCC had overcome these barriers;
(4) compliance of construction with equal opportunity
regulations; (5) campus and magnet program enrollment by
race and sex; (6) CCC's efforts to increase minority
participation; (7) equal employment compliance given
current availability of minorities in the employment
pool; and (8) the roles of the "subcultures" in compliance.
Finally, Chapter V summarizes findings and outlines
recommendations. (JP)
