Goals and Action Plan for People of Color Participation and Diversity, 1994-1997.
Centralia Coll., WA.
This action plan for Centralia College in Washington attempts to establish achievable goals, measurable objectives, and appropriate timelines to improve the participation and success of people of color at the college, as both students and staff. Introductory material explains the state mandate for colleges to develop action plans, the way in with the state's diversity goals are integrated with the college's mission, the history of multicultural efforts at Centralia College, and the planning process and assumptions. Part I presents data about people of color in the college's service area, students of color at Centralia, staffing at Centralia, and campus climate. The following findings are highlighted: (1) while the population of students of color is relatively small at Centralia College and in the local service area, it is growing faster than the population of the service area or the student population in general; (2) students of color generally have educational goals similar to white students, but do not currently enroll in academic or vocational courses, remain in programs, or complete programs at the same levels; (3) in general, students of color have greater needs for academic and financial support and career/transfer counseling than white students; (4) Hispanics are underrepresented throughout the college workforce, disabled people and women are underrepresented in executive positions, and people of color and disabled are underrepresented in the faculty. Part II presents goals, goal attainment measures, problem statements, and action plans for student recruitment and enrollment, student retention, student completion, staff recruitment and employment, and institutional climate. Part III underscores Centralia College's commitment to the plan, and identifies those offices responsible for particular areas of its implementation. (KP)
