ASCCC Latinx Caucus
According to the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute Chicano/Latino students represent nearly half of the potential college population in California; related to this, Latinx students represent the largest percentage of ethnically diverse students (43%) enrolled in the California community colleges. Yet Latinx students face serious challenges to access, entry, and effectively moving through the community college experience. The ASCCC Latinx Caucus will address the concerns related to Latinx student access, entry, and success in California Community Colleges by studying issues and actively engaging in advocacy within the ASCCC to address the challenges to Latinx student success. In this regard, the Latinx Caucus will propose and lead workshops at ASCCC Plenaries, as well as other ASCCC-sponsored conferences, to address such issues as increasing the proportion of Latinx tenured and adjunct faculty in the California Community Colleges, increasing the numbers of Latinx faculty who assume leadership positions within local and state Senate activities, supporting DACA and immigrant students’ access, entry, and success into the California Community Colleges, and generally addressing the wide range of challenges that face Latinx students in our community college system. Along with the latter, the Latinx Caucus will serve as a support group for new and continuing Latinx Senate members to develop their competence and success as Senate leaders. The Latinx Caucus will also be a welcoming group to any member of the ASCCC who wants to join in efforts to address the concerns of the Latinx community of educators within the California Community College System. Finally, the Latinx Caucus will serve to advise the ASCCC membership on how various initiatives will impact Latinx students.
