Strategic Plan To Ensure Racial and Ethnic Diversity in Connecticut Public Higher Education. Annual Report: December, 1994.
Connecticut State Dept. of Higher Education, Hartford.
This report describes the activities and results of three programs instituted under Connecticut's Minority Advancement Program (MAP) to promote racial and ethnic diversity in Connecticut public higher education. The Connecticut Collegiate Awareness and Preparation Program (ConnCAP), which enrolled 1,585 students in 1993-94, is designed to give high school students from disadvantaged backgrounds the necessary skills and motivation for success in college. The Minority Enrollment Incentive Program (MEIP) monitors the access, retention, and graduation rates of underrepresented minorities in Connecticut public colleges and universities. It found an overall increase in minority access, retention, and graduation rates between 1990 and 1994. The Minority Staff Development and Recruitment Program (MSDRP) aims to achieve representative employment for minority faculty, administrators, and other professional staff at Connecticut public colleges, universities, and central offices. It found an increase in the percentage of minority staff between 1992 and 1993. Six appendixes provide information on MEIP goals, ConnCAP college-school district partnerships, MEIP peer review committee, MEIP grants to institutions, and MSDRP grants to institutions. (MDM)
