SB 1456 and Student Equity EC 78216(b)(4): Links funding to the new Scorecard EC 78216(c)(7): Delineates plan requirements & link to student equity: “Coordination with college student equity plans to ensure that the college has identified strategies to monitor and address equity issues and mitigate any disproportionate impacts on student access and achievement.”

Student Equity Requirements Success Indicators Access:  Percentage of each pop. group enrolled compared group’s representation in adult population within community served – Census data; locally available data Course Completion:  Ratio of number of credit courses that students by pop. group complete compared to number of courses in which students in that group are enrolled on the census day of term - DataMart ESL and Basic Skills Completion:  Ratio of number of students by pop. group who complete a degree-applicable course after having completed the final ESL or basic skills course to the number of those students who complete such a final course - DataMart; Scorecard; Basic Skills Tracker

Student Equity Requirements Success Indicators  Degree and Certificate Completion: Ratio of number of students by pop. group who receive a degree or certificate to number of students in that group with same informed education goal as documented in student ed. plan – DataMart; Scorecard  Transfer: Ratio of number of students by pop. group who complete a min. of 12 units and have attempted a transfer level course in math or English, to number in that group who transfer after one or more (up to six) years – DataMart; Scorecard  Student Success and Support Services: The effect of mandatory participation of new students in SSSP services and enrollment priority on indicators A-E above, as well as the loss of Board of Governors (BOG) fee waiver of new students.

SB 1456 & Student Equity EC 78216(c)(2): Delineates plan requirements regarding college efforts to implement interventions for at-risk students: “A description of the college’s process to identify students at risk for academic or progress probation and the college’s plan for interventions or services to students.”

Student Equity & SSSP Evaluating disproportionate impact in following SSSP components:  Admissions  Assessment and Placement  Orientation  Counseling and Advising (education planning)  Follow-up (evaluation of student progress)  Prerequisites

Assessing for Disproportionate Impact Questions to consider in SSSP processes: Do male and female students access counseling services in  different proportions relative to their representation on the campus? Are younger students more likely to complete orientation?  If a student is older (26 years or older), is s/he more likely to  assess into basic skills level math? Is race/ethnicity associated with lower success rates in  prerequisites in certain fields of study?
