OverviewOverall, nearly half of all incoming community college students “drop-out” within twelve months of enrolling, with students of color and the economically disadvantaged faring far worse. Given the high proportion of underserved students these colleges enroll, the detrimental impact on their communities, and for the national economy as a whole at a time of diversifying demographics, is enormous.This book addresses this urgent issue by bringing together nationally recognized researchers whose work throws light on the structural and systemic causes of student attrition, as well as college presidents and leaders who have successfully implemented strategies to improve student outcomes.The book is divided into five sections, each devoted to a demographic group: African Americans, Native Americans/American Indians, Latino Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and Caucasian students in poverty. Each section in turn comprises three chapters, the first providing an up-to-date summary of research findings about barriers and attainments pertaining to the corresponding population, the second the views of a community college president, and the final chapter offering a range of models and best practices for achieving student success.The analyses--descriptions of cutting edge programs--and recommendations for action will commend this volume to everyone concerned about equity and completion rates in the community college sector, from presidents and senior administrators through faculty and student affairs leaders. For educational researchers, it fills blanks on data about attrition and persistence patterns of minority students attending community colleges.ContributorsKenneth AtwaterGlennda M.

Six Fundamental Factors for Improving Student Retention About the Contributors IndexReviewsAmerica s community colleges are well positioned to act, with urgency, to address the issues of racism that are inhibiting the academic progress and success of far too many students. Overcoming Educational Racism in the Community College uses evidence to point the way toward changes colleges can make and must make to end the structural inequities that keep students of color from completing their educational journeys ready to achieve their full potential. Dr. Long s essential book shows colleges how to plan with equity in mind and act with equity in mind. --Dr. Karen Stout, President Achieving the Dream Community colleges are one of the great economic engines of America and this groundbreaking new book by Dr. Long highlights the importance of community colleges as they operate with rapidly changing demographics, funding headwinds and requirements for increased social impact. Educational equity requires inclusion for all Americans and this textbook traverses all the racial and ethnic mosaic of what makes America great including a rational portrayal of the Asian and Pacific Islanders American diaspora and the AANAPISI campuses who support them. --Neil Horikoshi, President and Executive Director Asian and Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund I am deeply moved and impressed with the depth of knowledge provided on African American, Asian American/Pacific Islanders, Native Americans/American Indians, Hispanic Americans, and Caucasian American students and the effects of poverty on their educational journey and success.
