“Till Victory is Won: the Black Struggle for Higher Education in
California”

Monday, April 7, 2008
1215 Sproul Hall
4:00 – 5:30 p.m.

The underrepresentation of African Americans in 
higher education is a stubbornly persistent 
problem. Much of what we know about the status of 
African Americans in the American educational 
system is gained by understanding the factors 
that facilitate or restrict student progress in 
the academic pipeline. Changes currently underway 
in California signal ongoing challenges for 
African American youth to gain access and success 
in California higher education. Using data from 
the California Postsecondary Education Commission 
(CPEC) and the California Department of Education 
(CDE), we describe patterns and trends and share 
findings regarding academic preparation at the
secondary level, undergraduate and graduate 
enrollment, undergraduate and graduate degree 
completion, and participation in the teaching profession.
