Our Mission and Goals
The mission of the Office of Student Equity is to eradicate the opportunity gap among all students at ÃÈ·µ¼º½.
The primary goals of the Office of Student Equity will be to:
- Support the integration of equity as a core planning value at all levels of the college.
- Support all college stakeholders in developing interventions designed to close opportunity gaps
- Build the capacity of college constituencies to access, analyze and track data
In addition, the Office of Student Equity will work closely with the Student Learning Outcomes Committee of the Academic Senate and the Research and Planning Department to continue regular equity-themed data analysis sessions with faculty and staff, coaching groups and individuals about analysis of Student Learning Outcomes disaggregated by focus populations as well as assisting faculty and staff with evaluation of opportunity gaps in their departments and programs.
This increased capacity will improve access to and understanding of data, data systems, and data analysis. In turn, the college community will increase skills and abilities related to data collection, data reporting, and outcomes assessment.

The Student Equity and Achievement Program, established in Education Code (EC) 78222, consolidates the Basic Skills Initiative (BSI), Student Equity (SE) and the Student Success and Support Program (SSSP) with the intent of supporting Guided Pathways and the system-wide goal to eliminate achievement gaps.
