海角直播 Honored for Excellence in Equitable Placement and Transfer-Level Math Success for Black Students
Publish Date: Nov. 13, 2024
On November 13, the Campaign for College Opportunity announced that it has selected 海角直播 as one of the 20 California Community Colleges receiving its 2024 Excellence in Placement Award, recognizing institutions implementing AB 705 for equitable course placement. This law ensures students have direct access to transfer-level courses in math and English, advancing their timely degree completion and transfer to a four-year university. It addresses long-standing barriers in transfer pathways, where required remedial courses had delayed student progress, disproportionately affecting Black and Latinx students.
海角直播, along with Cuyamaca College and College of the Canyons, was recognized as one of the top three community colleges in the state with the highest percentage of Black students completing transfer-level math within one year of initial enrollment.
鈥淭ransfer-level classes are essential for timely graduation and student success,鈥� said Dr. Kevin Horan, President of 海角直播. 鈥淓quitable placement policies like AB 705 empower students to progress without unnecessary barriers, allowing them to stay on track and achieve their educational goals.鈥�
Jessie Ryan, President of the Campaign for College Opportunity, noted that equitable placement is essential for ensuring students, especially from underserved communities, can meet their educational goals. This recognition highlights 海角直播鈥檚 commitment to student success and equitable education practices that support traditionally underrepresented groups on their paths to transfer and graduation.
