The Equity Champion of Higher Education award is based on both the number of ADTs awarded currently, and the growth in ADTs awarded from the previous year. This year, Diablo Valley College leads all California Community Colleges in guaranteeing that a -3.4 percent of Black students and -6 percent of Latinx students with a transfer or degree goal acquired an ADT.ĭVC President Susan Lamb wrote, in a recent email to college faculty, “Across all California Community Colleges, our campus ensured that a high proportion of degree or transfer seeking Black and Latinx students received an ADT in the 2019-2020 academic year.” To receive the award, colleges must have a negative PPG rate for Black and Latinx Students – meaning that Black and Latinx graduates are earning ADTs at higher rates than the college-wide average. “This is a tremendous achievement and the real work of equity that every member of our college community has helped to achieve,” Lamb stated.Ĭalifornia Community Colleges have distributed more than 359,000 Associate Degrees for Transfer since the passage of SB 1440 in 2010, which created a transfer pathway for CCC students. The legislation was supported by The Campaign for College Opportunity, a non-profit organization that fights to create a clearer pathway for students attending community colleges who wish to transfer and earn a bachelor’s degree. The recent passage of AB 928 last month will substantially shorten the time it takes to transfer and attain a degree, speeding up the process further.
