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.
