NOTE:  This procedure is legally required.  Local practice may be below.  The following legal minimums must be included. 

 NOTE:  The California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office is working on streamlining the reporting requirements for student equity plans along with other programs.  One change has been to submit information related to student equity plans to the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office as part of an “Integrated Plan.”  However, because Title 5 Regulations addressing student equity plans have not been repealed, districts are still required to maintain student equity plans. 

 The District has a student equity plan.  The plan is filed as required to the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, following approval by the Board. 

 NOTE:  Insert local administrative procedures or reference the District’s Student Equity Plan.  At a minimum the plan must address: 

• the active involvement of the groups on campus [ local procedure ] and include a description of the active involvement of all groups on campus in developing the Student Equity Plan. 

• involvement by appropriate people from the community who can articulate the perspective and concerns of historically underrepresented groups. 

• campus-based research as to the extent of student equity. 

• institutional barriers to equity. 

• goals for access, retention, degree and certificate completion, English as a Second Language (ESL) and foundational skills completion, and transfer for each historically underrepresented group. 

• activities most likely to be effective to attain the goals, including coordination of existing student equity related programs. 

• sources of funds for the activities in the plan. 

• a schedule and process for evaluation of progress toward the goals. 

• an executive summary that describes the groups for whom goals have been set, the goals, the initiatives that the District will undertake to achieve the goals, the resources budgeted for that purpose, and the District officer or employee who can be contacted for further information. 

NOTE:  Districts may reference the student equity plan template available through the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office. 

The Student Equity Plan shall be developed, maintained, and updated under the supervision of the [ designate position ].
