California Tomorrow, a non-profit research organization that supports the development of a fair and inclusive multicultural society, conducted this study. The research sought to answer three questions: (1) What are the experiences of Latino, African American, Asian, Native American, white, and immigrant students in the community college system, and what are the systemic barriers and supports they encounter? (2) What strategies are being used for the recruitment, outreach, guidance, and support of traditionally underrepresented students, and what is the perceived success of these strategies? and (3) What forms of professional development and support do faculty and staff need and find useful to help them respond more effectively to the needs of these students? California expects tremendous growth in each of the 3 systems of higher education in the next 5 years. The greatest number of new students (nearly 74% of the increased demand), however, will seek access to one of California's community colleges. The state continues to fund community colleges at the lowest level of all public education sectors, including K-12. Community colleges receive $4,4675 per student, K-12 receives $7,080, California State Universities receive $10,822, and University of California receives $25,554 per student. Recommendations include ensuring that the community colleges receive their full 11% allocation of Prop 98 funds. (NB)
