Catalyzing Equity Centered Change in Community Colleges

About this book

This book addresses persistent inequities in student outcomes, resource allocation, and institutional practices at community colleges, despite being known for their open access policies and educational opportunities for diverse populations. It presents research-backed strategies for creating more inclusive and effective learning environments for all students.

Exploring critical perspectives from low-income and first-generation students alongside insights from faculty and practitioners, the book examines:

  • Historical foundations of higher education access for African Americans
  • Resource allocation and fiscal decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Evidence-based approaches to institutional transformation

Essential reading for educators, administrators, policymakers, and researchers committed to advancing equity in higher education and ensuring community colleges fulfill their promise as gateways to opportunity for our most diverse student populations.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Community College Journal of Research and Practice.
