A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
Our Student Equity Workgroup included research analysts, the Vice President of Student Services, faculty members, deans, classified managers, staff, and students. In March of 2019, a group of ten City College team members – Vice President of Student Services, Deans, Faculty, and Researchers - attended the University of Southern California (USC) Center for Urban Education (CUE) Institute to learn about the supported research methods for analyzing student and identifying disproportionately impacted student groups. The goal at San Diego City College is to continue the inquiry process to develop programs that meet the needs of historically disproportionately impacted student populations, including some not listed in the NOVA platform.
Metrics used includes: Transferred to a Four-Year Institution, Attained the Vision Goal Completion Definition, Completed Both Transfer-Level Math and English Within the District in the First Year, Retained from Fall to Spring at the Same College, Enrolled in the Same Community College
