A Report on the Texas Educational Opportunity Plan for Public Higher Education, 1989-1994.
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Austin.
This report provides an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Texas Educational Opportunity Plan (TEOP), a 5-year plan implemented in 1989 to increase Black and Hispanic undergraduate and graduate enrollment at public colleges and universities within the state, and to increase the number of Black and Hispanic employees in the state's higher education system. It also discusses institutional and state responsibilities for meeting TEOP goals. The report found that although the enrollment of Black, and especially Hispanic, students has increased between 1989 and 1993, other indicators of progress on TEOP goals, such as student retention and degrees awarded, are mixed. It concludes that more must be done to achieve the parity emphasized in the new equal opportunity and education plan, entitled "Access and Equity 2000," which will run from 1994 through 2000. Seven appendixes provide information on minority and women recruitment and retention programs, the recruitment and retention of minority faculty, search guidelines to enhance diversity, a minority recruitment and retention conference, a minority faculty and administrator registry, minority doctoral program, and the Texas Association for Access and Equity.
