16 Unique Challenges & Strengths of Each Sector of Higher Education in CA ● Community Colleges: Educates the majority of undocumented students without the resources or infrastructure to effectively support them. ● CSUs: Most accessible four year option, yet the inconsistencies of campus policies limits access & academic success. ● UCs: Highest level of institutional support and resources with lowest number of students. System wide initiatives can lack campus input. ● Private Schools: Resources and flexibility to provide holistic support, however, no systematic approach. Very limited number of students.

17 Community Polls

18 Effectively Addressing These Challenges ● EDUCATORS, ASK for the support you need ● Use the report’s language to ADVOCATE for CHANGE ● Prioritize a few challenges and address them systematically ● REACH OUT to other Educators and Institutional Advocates

25 Community Polls

26 Why was a measurement tool created? ● Provide campus professionals and students with a comprehensive metric to assess, analyze, and report the level of support currently present at their institution for undocumented students. ● Build a bridge between the effective practices outlined earlier and those present at your own institution. ● Provide INSTITUTIONAL BASELINE AND metric for on-campus advocacy ● Encourage reflective practice in higher education

27 What are the components of the tool? ● Existence & Sustainability Scale ● Supportive practices are benchmarked & institutionalized for the long-term

28 What are the components of the tool? ● Supplemental Questions ● Deepening conversations to examine scope, impact, and quality of supports

29 Action! ● Celebrate! ● Use this process as a framework for conceptualizing institutional support ● Publish results and share throughout campus listservs and networks. ● Present results to: ● key student, staff, faculty, and administrator stakeholders ● key campus entities including student government, student organizations, staff organization, departments, academic senate, and executive campus leadership.

30 Actions (continued) ● Prioritize emerging, foundational, and comprehensive practices and develop an action plan to improve the educational equity of undocumented students on your campus. ● Connect with other schools within your region to address collective concerns and launch collaborative efforts. ● Encourage sister campuses to use this equity tool and compare results across systems.
