College of the Redwoods Joins National Consortium to Enhance Educational Outcomes for Men of Color
Press release from College of the Redwoods:
College of the Redwoods (CR) is proud to announce that it has joined the Community College Equity Assessment Lab’s (CCEAL) National Consortium on College Men of Color (NCCMC). This consortium aims to enhance educational outcomes for men of color through targeted support and innovative strategies.
As a member of NCCMC, the college will gain access to an array of valuable resources designed to promote student success. These include an open-access webinar series covering various topics to inform and build the capacity of institutional planning efforts for underrepresented men of color. The webinars address critical issues and offer practical solutions for advancing equity in community colleges.
Additionally, College of the Redwoods will participate in information-sharing sessions, providing a platform for practitioners in the field to discuss promising practices for improving student success outcomes for men of color. These sessions offer a private setting for college leaders and CCEAL researchers to share insights and strategies for supporting men of color in community colleges.
A key benefit of this membership is the opportunity to attend working group meetings that bring educators, administrators, and researchers together to collaborate and develop actionable plans to better support men of color in higher education.
College of the Redwoods’ decision to join NCCMC is a testament to its unwavering commitment to equity and inclusion. As stated by Dr. Kintay Johnson, Director of Student Equity & the Multicultural Center for CR, “this strategic move aligns with our 2022-2032 Education Master Plan by reflecting our awareness of equity gaps and our dedication to eliminating them through ongoing, cross-campus learning, open dialogue, and data-driven efforts. Our collaboration with NCCMC will significantly contribute to improving the success of our historically underrepresented and underserved students, including men of color.”

I thought we got rid of affirmative action.
If this was for, Men of the White race, people would have some issues.
You mean because for the last hundred + years up until the 1980’s when it slowly began to change, all of it was for white males?
Progress has been made but still a ways to go.
Obviously the problem is Asians disproportionately have degrees. We need to remove some of those and surgically attach them to Black Americans. Maybe give a bit of them to some white non-hispanic people too.
Not too surprisingly Pew Research finds taking race into account in college admissions is not so much approved of in Asians while Black people are more likely to approve. It’s telling is that the more levels of college a person has the more they approved of taking race into account in college admissions. And the highest level of people who approve of it are among liberal Democrats… hmm… the Deus ex Machina theory of social equality.

The article references a program intended to benefit a historically and currently disadvantaged group without taking anything away from other groups.
Is there something wrong with that?
And what is meant by your opening paragraph where you said:
“Obviously the problem is Asians disproportionately have degrees. We need to remove some of those and surgically attach them to Black Americans. Maybe give a bit of them to some white non-hispanic people too.”
Are you proposing to remove and surgically attach parts of Asians or parts of their degrees?
For your sake I hope this is a failed, albeit inappropriate, attempt at humor and not a serious comment.
You must have a college degree. Lol
when the word equity is used, someone is going to pay, and some is going to get a freebie. maybe a focus group to study if surgical options are covered by medi-cal.
>”These sessions offer a private setting for college leaders and CCEAL researchers to share insights and strategies for supporting men of color in community colleges.”
Well, that sounds like a big party for college administrators.

Go figure.
Yes. I suspect- based on past experiences and observation- that the ones who really end up benefitting will be the people organizing and discussing at the meetings …sigh
