The past year has been a test like no other for the California Community Colleges' students, faculty and staff, serving up pain and loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic and racial injustice. Yet despite these challenges they continue to show progress toward meeting goals of the system's Vision for Success, which sets a path to increase certificate and degree attainment, to improve transfer and to close equity gaps. Key policy initiatives contributing to this progress include systemwide adoption of the Guided Pathways framework and ongoing implementation of a new system for placement of incoming students that ended flawed standardized testing that inaccurately placed many students in remedial rather than transfer-level coursework. The report highlights the progress toward the goals outlined in the California Community Colleges "Call To Action," which promotes leadership and action in addressing structural barriers to student equity.
