ABSTRACT: Policies, relevant enrollment data, and plans of
action for recruiting and retaining minority students are
presented in a student affirmative action plan for the
California community colleges. After introductory material
outlining the goals of student affirmative action and the
legal responsibility of state and district educational
authorities to achieve these goals, the Plan examines the
underrepresentation of ethnic minorities, women, those with
low incomes, handicapped individuals, and older adults in
community college enrollments. The need to correct this
underrepresentation through improved access, retention, and
institutional commitment is then discussed, followed by
suggested plans of action for: (1) expanded efforts in
outrech, recruitment, and admissions; (2) more responsive
counseling, student affairs, basic skills, and tutorial
services; (3) the continued development of special programs
and financial support for underrepresented students, such
as the Extended Opportunity Programs and Services; and (4)
improved faculty, staff, and student awareness of
underrepresented students and their preferred modes of
learning. (JP)
