According to this methodology, a ‘-3 percentage point gap or greater’ is evidence of a disproportionate impact. Though this, much like the 80% rule, is an arbitrary designation, it serves as a reasonable strategy for identifying unequal outcomes that would benefit from further discussion. In the table above, cells are highlighted where a -3 or greater percentage gap is identified. Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 13 Any discussion about disproportionate impact should also consider the number of students impacted. Chaffey may want to consider prioritizing a smaller percentage point gap that is calculated for a student group with more than 100 students over a larger percentage point equity gap calculated for a student group with fewer than 10 students. This is because rates calculated using smaller numbers will be subject to greater variability and it may make sense to prioritize a gap that impacts a greater number of students. Which three student groups are experiencing the greatest gaps – and how large are these gaps (in percentage points)? Students 25 Years of Age or Older: 51.6% gap between the representation of this group in the Chaffey College student population (32.0%) and their representation in the total Service Area adult population (83.6%) Male Students: 9.6% gap between the representation of this group in the Chaffey College student population (41.2%) and their representation in the total Service Area adult population (50.8%) Caucasian Students: 8.8% gap between the representation of this group in the Chaffey College student population (17.8%) and their representation in the total Service Area adult population (26.6%) For these three student groups (as applicable) calculate the number of students needed to close the equity gap: 1 2 3 4 Percentage expressed as decimal Multiply The # of Students in the Unduplicated 2014-15 Chaffey College Student Population = # Needed to Achieve Equity Equity Gap Student Group Gap in Comparison to Service Area Population, Expressed as Percentage Largest Gap Students 25 Years of Age or Older 51.6% .516 x 7,846 = 4,049 Second Largest Male Students 9.6% .096 x 10,085 = 968 Third Largest Caucasian Students 8.8% .088 x 4,352 = 383 Proportionality Index: Bensimon and Malcom-Piqueux (2014) specify a cutoff of 0.85 to identify performance below equity when proportionality is used as a performance measure. Employing this guideline, the following student subgroups were identified as experience disproportionate impact on access rate when compared to their representation in the adult service area population: Asian Students: .63 proportionality index compared to the adult service area Asian population Caucasian Students: .67 proportionality index compared to the adult service area Caucasian population Male Students: .81 proportionality index compared to the adult service area Male population Students 25 Years of Age or Older: .43 proportionality index compared to the adult service area 25-64 Year Old population Foster Youth Students: .54 proportionality index compared to the adult service area Foster Youth population Students With Disabilities: .77 proportionality index compared to the adult service area Disabled population Veteran Students: .34 proportionality index compared to the adult service area Veteran population SUMMARY – ACCESS RATE: Examining differences in observed student subgroup access rates relative to their representation in the adult service area population, by the percentage gap methodology, by largest observed gaps, and by proportionality index, subgroups that are most likely to experience disproportionate impact are: Students 25 Years of Age or Older Male Students Caucasian Students Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 14 District: Chaffey College College: Chaffey College GOALS, ACTIVITIES, FUNDING AND EVALUATION: ACCESS GOAL A. The goal is to improve access for the following target populations identified in the college research as experiencing a disproportionate impact: Target Population(s) Current gap, year Example Group -6, 2014 Males -9.6, 2015 White -8.8, 2015 Adults over the age of 30 -4.9, 2015 Foster Youth -0.5, 2015 Asians -3.6, 2015 *Expressed as either a percentage or number **Benchmark goals are to be decided by the institution. Goal* No gap -7.6 -6.8 -3.9 No gap -1.5 Goal Year 2020 2018 2018 2018 2017 2017 In addition to the populations with the greatest gaps the college will focus its outreach efforts on all of the groups who are in a negative gap. Additionally, though their percentage is small, due to the size of the population, activities and efforts will also be made to increase and sustain the access for current and former foster youth and students from low socioeconomic households. Though this last group is a majority of the students who attend the college, a lack of accurate information can serve a barrier to access for those students. ACTIVITIES: A.

A.2 Working with the high schools’ administrations provides a greater possibility of disseminating accurate information and thus seamless transitions to the college. A.3 Foster youth and veterans can represent some of the most at risk populations and unlikely to consider college. Partnering with agencies that already have their trust increases the possibility of them accessing college. A.4 Since students consider college affordability a barrier, providing outreach information and assisting students in applying for financial aid increases the possibility of access. • Evaluation For each activity associated with Student Equity Indicator #1 (Access), Chaffey College has identified data collection timelines and measurable metrics that directly relate to and assess expected outcomes: Activity A.1: Outreach efforts to concurrently enrolled high school students predominantly occur in the spring. Chaffey College will examine placement recommendation data for students who enroll in the subsequent fall semester to determine placement recommendation level relative to Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 17 participation in outreach efforts. As these students progress through Chaffey College, the District will utilize Student Success Scorecard Basic Skills Improvement data downloaded from Data on Demand to determine whether a higher percentage of students exposed to outreach efforts subsequently progress through ESL and Basic Skills course sequences. Activity A.2: The Chaffey College Office of Institutional Research (OIR) will examine MIS course (CB), section (XB), and enrollment (SX) data and merge this information against employee data (EB and EJ) to determine whether the representation of historically underrepresented faculty teaching ESL and Basic Skills courses increases over time. Comparisons will be made within department and relative to overall faculty demographic characteristics. Data files are reported annually (usually in September/October), allowing for on-going systemic longitudinal analyses. Activity A.3: Chaffey College will utilize MIS special population (SG) data elements SG01 (Military Status) and SG03 (Student Foster Youth Status) to determine whether increases in enrollment occur among these two student populations. Data files are available at the conclusion of every semester. Activity A.4: Extracting data from Chaffey’s administrative computing system (Colleague), the OIR will identify whether increases in financial aid applications are occurring. Data will be disaggregated by student demographic characteristics in order to determine whether observed differences/changes in financial aid applications exist among student subpopulations. The OIR will also examine the annual Chancellor’s Office MIS financial aid file (SF) to examine similar outcomes among financial aid recipients, specifically BOG grantees.

Therefore, this rate would be written in all of the orange boxes and used to calculate the equity gap for each group (the last column on the right). **Calculated by subtracting the average rate of courses passed from the student group’s rate of courses passed. Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 19 According to this methodology, a ‘-3 percentage point gap or greater’ is evidence of a disproportionate impact. Though this, much like the 80% rule, is an arbitrary designation, it serves as a reasonable strategy for identifying unequal outcomes that would benefit from further discussion. In the table above, cells are highlighted where a -3 or greater percentage gap is identified. Any discussion about disproportionate impact should also consider the number of students impacted. Chaffey may want to consider prioritizing a smaller percentage point gap that is calculated for a student group with more than 100 students over a larger percentage point equity gap calculated for a student group with fewer than 10 students. This is because rates calculated using smaller numbers will be subject to greater variability and it may make sense to prioritize a gap that impacts a greater number of students. Which three student groups are experiencing the greatest gaps – and how large are these gaps (in percentage points)? Current or Former Foster Youth: 18.9% gap between the success rate of this group (52.8%) and the total student population (71.7%) Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders: 9.4% gap between the success rate of this group (62.3%) and the total student population (71.7%) Black or African American: 5.8% gap between the success rate of this group (65.9%) and the total student population (71.7%) For these three student groups (as applicable) calculate the number of students ‘lost’, which is also the number of students who, if they had succeeded, would have closed the equity gap: 1 2 Percentage expressed as decimal 25% becomes .25 3 4 Multiply the # of courses students enrolled in & were present in on census day in base year = Number of Students “Lost” Equity Gap Student Group Gap in comparison to the Average, Expressed as Percentage Largest Gap Foster Youth 18.9% .189 x 727 = 137 Second Largest Pacific Islander 9.4% .094 x 297 = 28 Third Largest African American 5.8% .058 x 8,884 = 515 80% RULE ANALYSIS: While the previous table identifies specific sub-group performance relative to the overall student population, the Office of Institutional Research also employed the “80% Rule” to examine subgroup performance relative to the highest performing group in each category. Employing the 80% Rule, the following groups were identified as performing at less than 80% of the highest performing group (in the case of unique student populations (i.e., Veterans, Foster Youth, DPS Students, and Low Income), group performance was compared against the total student population): Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders: 62.3% course success rate is 77.8% of the highest performing subgroup (Asian students, 80.1%) Current or Former Foster Youth: 52.8% course success rate is 73.6% of the total student population average (71.7%) In addition to examining the 2014-15 (primary terms only) success rate differences between subgroups and the total student population, the Office of Institutional Research also examined three-year trend data (2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15) to determine whether differences observed in the 2014-15 academic year represented increases/decreases in observed performance outcome differences. Tables 1 through 4 depict observed three-year differences between subgroups and the total student Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 20 population related to race/ethnicity (table 1), gender (table 2), age range (table 3), and disability status, foster youth status, veterans status, and economically disadvantaged status (table 4). SUMMARY – COURSE COMPLETION: Examining differences in observed subgroup course completion rates relative to the general student population, by the percentage gap methodology, by largest observed gaps, by 80% Rule that compares subgroups against the highest performing subgroup, and over time (last 3-year data), subgroups that are most likely to experience disproportionate impact are: Foster Youth Pacific Islander Students African American Students It should be noted that course completion rate discrepancies observed between African American students and the general student population appear to be declining. In 2012-13, the observed differences between African American students and the general student population was 9.9%. This observed difference declined to 8.2% in 2013-14. In 2014-15, the observed difference was 5.8%. While still one of the more pronounced observed differences, in examining the 80% Rule the difference between African American students and the highest performing subgroup within this category (Asian students) did not exceed the 80% threshold.

B.2 Faculty Advising is a new program implemented by the college. The program was developed based on the student engagement research. The research indicates that student success rates are directly related to the number of outside of class interactions between student and faculty. The faculty members participating in the program are trained to help students explore careers and higher education in their areas of expertise. Engaging with students, particularly through the faculty advising program, provides students a deeper level of engagement and connection and assists them in determining to persist. B.3 Research indicates that academic success is highly dependent on students’ experiences in the classroom. Therefore, the college plans to improve the classroom engagement experienced by the targeted population. The research will be used to provide training on specific classroom engagement techniques to assist the targeted population with course completion. B.4 The data collected by the college indicates that students who participate in Supplemental Instruction have higher success rates compared to students who do not participate in the program. B.5 Connecting students to the college environment and having faculty and staff who personally engage with them increases their likelihood of continuing in courses and persisting to goal completion. B.6 Focus groups allow the students to explain in their voices where and why they are being unsuccessful and allow the college to focus training to remove those barriers. B.7 The data collected by the college indicates that the success rates of students enrolled in accelerated (Fast-Track) courses are higher compared to students not enrolled in accelerated courses. • Evaluation For each activity associated with Student Equity Indicator #3 (Course Completion), Chaffey College has identified data collection timelines and measurable metrics that directly relate to and assess expected outcomes: Activity B.1: To address this activity, the OIR will annually examine MIS course (CB), section (XB), enrollment (SX), and Student Basic (SB) data to identify courses where target populations experience the lowest success and retention rates relative to the college-wide average in these courses. A comprehensive report will be created for each subgroup population and reported to President’s Equity Council annually. Activity B.2: As part of the District’s expansion of Faculty Advising, the OIR will identify the number of students who annually participate in student advising. The District is currently exploring various student retention and data collection systems that allow data collection to occur at diverse Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 25 District: Chaffey College College: Chaffey College locations (e.g., identified meeting places, faculty offices, etc.). Number of students and faculty engaging in faculty advising will be documented and reported annually. Activity B.3: Working with the Chaffey College Faculty Success Center, the OIR will identify the number of full-time and adjunct faculty who participate in Faculty Success Center professional development opportunities designed to mitigate student achievement gap and equity issues. The number of faculty who participate in these professional development opportunities – specifically, new faculty – will be documented. As it relates to the expected outcome, the OIR will examine data on an annual basis to determine whether increase in faculty participation has occurred. Activity B.4.1 and B.4.2: Utilizing the District’s Success Center tracking system (which is also used to record each unique student contact with a Supplemental Instruction (SI) leaders), the OIR will identify students enrolled in courses supported by Supplemental Instruction (SI) who access SI services. Course data (reported through MIS) and SI contact data are updated at the end of each semester. Merging these two data sources, the OIR will examine performance outcomes in SI-supported courses of students who do/do not access SI services. SI service access and performance outcome comparisons will also be examined by student demographic characteristics. Research findings will be reported annually. Activity B.5: Working with the Director of Special Populations, the OIR will ensure that all eligible Foster Youth students are reported through MIS data element SG03 (Student Foster Youth Status). Utilizing this codified data element, the OIR will examine course load as defined by MIS data element SXD3 (Enrollment Units Attempted) to determine whether Foster Youth students are attempting a higher course load. Working with the Director of Special Populations, the OIR will also survey Foster Youth who have participated in mentoring/role modeling services to determine whether Hope, Growth Mindset, and other non-cognitive factors have increased (non-cognitive factors are embedded in the District’s assessment process, providing baseline data for all first-time, no-prior college experience students who participate in assessment). Activity B.6.1 and B.6.2: Utilizing Student Equity Indicator data, evidence-based outcomes associated with Student Equity Plan activities, student focus group findings, and research-based findings provided by partnering external entities (e.g., Minority Male Community College Collaborative (M2C2); Gallup Organization; Center for Community College Student Engagement; etc.), President’s Equity Council will examine both qualitative and quantitative data and work with the Faculty Success Center and Professional Development Office to formulate training opportunities designed to ameliorate observed disproportionate impact and barriers for underrepresented students. Training activities will be predicated on evidence-based practices and developed on an on-going basis. Activity B.7: Extracting data from Chaffey’s administrative computing system (Colleague), the OIR will identify accelerated learning courses. Accelerated learning course sections will be compared annually against comparable coterminous sections to determine whether differences exist in course success and retention rates. Data will be disaggregated by student demographic characteristics in order to determine whether observed differences in course success and retention rates positively benefit specific student subpopulations. Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 26 District: Chaffey College College: Chaffey College Success Indicator: ESL and Basic Skills Completion CAMPUS-BASED RESEARCH: ESL AND BASIC SKILLS COMPLETION C. ESL AND BASIC SKILLS COMPLETION. The ratio of the number of students by population group who complete a degree-applicable course after having completed the final ESL or basic skills course compared to the number of those students who complete such a final ESL or basic skills course. The college believes it is valuable to not only look at the aggregate of ESL and Basic Skills Completion, but to also look at each of the basic skills individually to better affect students disproportionality impacted and create goals and activities for each of those areas.

According to this methodology, a ‘-3 percentage point gap or greater’ is evidence of a disproportionate impact. Though this, much like the 80% rule, is an arbitrary designation, it serves as a reasonable strategy for identifying unequal outcomes that would benefit from further discussion. In the table above, cells are highlighted where a -3 or greater percentage gap is identified. Any discussion about disproportionate impact should also consider the number of students impacted. Chaffey may want to consider prioritizing a smaller percentage point gap that is calculated for a student group with more than 100 students over a larger percentage point equity gap calculated for a student group with fewer than 10 students. This is because rates calculated using smaller numbers will be subject to greater variability and it may make sense to prioritize a gap that impacts a greater number of students. Which three student groups are experiencing the greatest gaps – and how large are these gaps (in percentage points)?

Employing the 80% Rule, the following groups were identified as performing at less than 80% of the highest performing group (in the case of unique student populations (i.e., Veterans, Foster Youth, DPS Students, and Low Income), group performance was compared against the total student population): Black or African American: 38.8% English Basic Skills Completion Rate is 78.1% of the highest performing subgroup (Asian students, 49.7%) Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 28 Students 20 Years of Age or Older: 35.8% English Basic Skills Completion Rate is 73.8% of the highest performing subgroup (Students 19 or Younger, 48.5%) In addition to examining the 2014-15 English Basic Skills Completion Rate difference between subgroups and the total student population, the Office of Institutional Research also examined three-year trend data (2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15) to determine whether differences observed in the 2014-15 academic year represented increases/decreases in observed performance outcome differences. Tables 5 through 8 depict observed three-year differences between subgroups and the total student population related to race/ethnicity (table 5), gender (table 6), age range (table 7), and disability status, foster youth status, veterans status, and economically disadvantaged status (table 8) (NOTE: data is suppressed for subgroup populations with 10 or fewer cases). SUMMARY – ENGLISH BASIC SKILLS COMPLETION RATE: Examining differences in observed subgroup English Basic Skills Completion Rates relative to the general student population, by the percentage gap methodology, by largest observed gaps, by 80% Rule that compares subgroups against the highest performing subgroup, and over time (last 3-year data), subgroups that are most likely to experience disproportionate impact are: Students 20 Years of Age or Older Male Students African American Students It should be noted that English Basic Skills Completion Rate discrepancies observed between African American students and the general student population appear to be declining. In 2012-13, the observed differences between African American students and the general student population was 8.1%. While the observed 2013-14 difference increased to 8.9% in 2013-14, in 201415, the observed difference was 4.8%. While still one of the more pronounced observed differences, in examining the 80% Rule the difference between African American students and the highest performing subgroup within this category (Asian students) did not exceed the 80% threshold.

In 2012-13, the observed differences between African American students and the general student population was 11.4%. This observed difference declined to 9.0% in 2013-14. In 2014-15, the observed difference was 8.3%. Contrary to this finding, the observed discrepancies between Students with Disabilities and the general student population appears to be increasing on this particular metric. In 2012-13, the observed differences between Students with Disabilities and the general student population was 6.8%. This observed difference increased to 8.8% in 2013-14. In 2014-15, the observed difference was 12.5%. While the pattern varies in regard to age, similar findings were observed among the identified age groups. In all instances the observed discrepancies between students 20 to 24 years of age, 35 to 39 years of age, and 50 years of age or older were higher in 2014-15 than in prior years.

C.2 Hiring faculty who overtly understand the nature of working with community college students and their needs and limitations, particularly in the basic skills area will provide greater understanding and engagement with those students, increasing their likelihood of success. C.3 Institutionalizing an understanding of best practices for achieving classroom equity requires new, innovative and ongoing training of faculty. C.4 Engaging with students, particularly through the faculty advising program, provides students a deeper level of engagement and connection and assists them in determining to persist. C.5 Summer bridge programs, new to the college, have shown to assist students in accelerating the math completion. C.6 Curriculum review and transformation allows faculty to teach in a way and with tools students understand. C.7 Requiring students to engage in Success Center activities accentuates the need for repetitive skills use in math, which leads to a greater chance of persistence and completion. C.8 Institutionalizing an understanding of best practices for working with ESL students and developing understandings of their backgrounds leads to greater engagement and connections that creates a sense of belonging in continuing. Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 39 District: Chaffey College College: Chaffey College C.9 Reducing the number of ESL courses required to demonstrated English proficiency provides a greater chance of completion of the basic skills sequence. • Evaluation For each activity associated with Student Equity Indicator #3 (ESL and Basic Skills Completion), Chaffey College has identified data collection timelines and measurable metrics that directly relate to and assess expected outcomes: Activity C.1: Utilizing the District’s Success Center tracking system (which is also used to record contacts with Supplemental Instruction (SI) leaders), the OIR will identify students enrolled in non-credit and pre-collegiate level ESL and Basic Skills courses who access Success Centers/SI. Course data (reported through MIS) and Success Center/SI contact data are updated at the end of each semester. As students who access Success Centers/SI progress through Chaffey College, the District will utilize Student Success Scorecard Basic Skills Improvement data downloaded from Data on Demand to determine whether a higher percentage of students exposed to Success Center/SI support subsequently progress through ESL and Basic Skills course sequences. Activity C.2: The Chaffey College Office of Institutional Research (OIR) will examine MIS course (CB), section (XB), and enrollment (SX) data and merge this information against employee data (EB and EJ) to determine whether the representation of historically underrepresented faculty teaching ESL and Basic Skills courses increases over time. Comparisons will be made within department and relative to overall faculty demographic characteristics. Data files are reported annually (usually in September/October), allowing for on-going systemic longitudinal analyses. Activity C.3: Utilizing MIS course (CB), section (XB), enrollment (SX) data, and Student Basic (SB) data elements, the OIR will examine disaggregated success, retention, and persistence rates for students enrolled in ESL and Basic Skills courses. Utilizing validate instruments that measure engagement, hope, growth mindset, and other non-cognitive factors, the OIR will also periodically administer pre/post surveys to students enrolled in ESL and Basic Skills courses to determine whether student engagement and non-cognitive growth increased over the breadth of the semester. Activity C.4: Working with Chaffey’s Faculty Success Center, the OIR will identify the number of full-time and adjunct faculty who participated in Faculty Success Center training activities designed to promote culturally responsive teaching and learning strategies. Faculty will be surveyed annually to determine the extent to which activities were embedded within instructional practices. Activity C.5.1: The OIR will work with the Mathematics Department to identify students who participated in the Summer Bridge Program. After participation in the Summer Bridge Program, students will be assessed using the District’s standardized assessment testing process to determine their mathematics course placement recommendation level. Mathematics course placement recommendation levels of Summer Bridge Program participants will be compared against first-time, no-prior-college-experience students who did not participate in the Summer Bridge Program to determine whether measurable differences in Mathematics course placement recommendations exist. Research will occur annually. Activity C.5.2: Consistent with past tracking studies conducted at Chaffey College, the OIR will examine first-time, no-prior-college experience student progression through the Mathematics course sequence. Sequential course progression will be disaggregated by student demographic characteristics and by Student Equity Plan activities (e.g., Summer Bridge Program) that students participate in. Research will be generated annually. Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 40 District: Chaffey College College: Chaffey College Activity C.6: After Chaffey College Mathematics Department faculty identify changes in curriculum, the OIR will examine success and retention rates prior to/after changes went into effect and will survey students to determine perceived effectiveness of technology-infused instruction. Surveying will occur after instructional changes are implemented. Activity C.7: Consistent with current Success Center practices, the OIR will survey students who participate in Mathematics directed learning activities (DLAs) to determine the efficacy of DLAs. The OIR will also utilize the Success Center tracking system to determine types of Success Center activities students are engaged in, time invested in these activities, and their relationship to Mathematics course success and retention rates. Research will occur annually, surveying occurs each semester. Activity C.8: Consistent with current Faculty Success Center evaluation practices, faculty who participate in training sessions designed to develop best practices in teaching and assessing ESL students will complete pre/post workshop assessment surveys. Pre/post workshop assessment will provide feedback to English as a Second Language faculty and other workshop leaders about non-ESL faculty acquisition of knowledge, skills, and abilities related to ESL student needs. Surveying will occur prior to/after each training session; aggregate outcomes will be reported annually. Activity C.9: In tandem with the evaluation for Activity C.5, the OIR will examine first-time, no-prior-college experience student progression through the English course sequence, examining progression through both English pre-collegiate and ESL course pathways into transfer-level English. Sequential course progression will be disaggregated by student demographic characteristics and by Student Equity Plan activities. Research will be conducted annually. Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 41 District: Chaffey College College: Chaffey College Success Indicator: Degree and Certificate Completion CAMPUS-BASED RESEARCH: DEGREE AND CERTIFICATE COMPLETION D.

Therefore, this rate would be written in all of the orange boxes and used to calculate the equity gap for each group (the last column on the right). **Calculated by subtracting the average Degree and Certificate Completion Rate from the each subgroup’s Degree and Certificate Completion Rate. According to this methodology, a ‘-3 percentage point gap or greater’ is evidence of a disproportionate impact. Though this, much like the 80% rule, is an arbitrary designation, it serves as a reasonable strategy for identifying unequal outcomes that would benefit from further discussion. In the table above, cells are highlighted where a -3 or greater percentage gap is identified. Any discussion about disproportionate impact should also consider the number of students impacted. Chaffey may want to consider prioritizing a smaller percentage point gap that is calculated for a student group with more than 100 students over a larger percentage point equity gap calculated for a student group with fewer than 10 students. This is because rates calculated using smaller numbers will be subject to greater variability and it may make sense to prioritize a gap that impacts a greater number of students. Which three student groups are experiencing the greatest gaps – and how large are these gaps (in percentage points)? Students 30 to 34 Years of Age: 6.4% gap between the Degree and Certificate Completion Rate of this group (12.2%) and the total student population (18.6%) Black or African American Students: 4.6% gap between the Degree and Certificate Completion Rate of this group (14.0%) and the total student population (18.6%) Students 20 to 24 Years of Age: 4.4% gap between the Degree and Certificate Completion Rate of this group (14.2%) and the total student population (18.6%) For these three student groups (as applicable) calculate the number of students ‘lost’, which is also the number of students who, if they had earned an award, would have closed the equity gap: 1 2 3 4 Percentage Expressed as Decimal Multiply The # of first-time students who enrolled in 2008-09 and named certificates and degrees as their matriculation goal = Number of Students “Lost” Equity Gap Student Group Gap in Comparison to the Average, Expressed as Percentage Largest Gap Students 30 to 34 Years of Age 6.4% .064 x 41 = 3 Second Largest Black or African American 4.6% .046 x 350 = 16 Third Largest Students 20 to 24 Years of Age 4.4% .044 x 325 = 14 80% RULE ANALYSIS: While the previous table identifies specific sub-group performance relative to the overall student population, the Office of Institutional Research also employed the “80% Rule” to examine subgroup performance relative to the highest performing Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 43 group in each category. Employing the 80% Rule, the following groups were identified as performing at less than 80% of the highest performing group (in the case of unique student populations (i.e., Veterans, Foster Youth, DPS Students, and Low Income), group performance was compared against the total student population): Black or African American: 14.0% Degree and Certificate Completion Rate is 54.7% of the highest performing subgroup (Asian students, 25.6%) Hispanic or Latino: 17.8% Degree and Certificate Completion Rate is 69.5% of the highest performing subgroup (Asian students, 25.6%) Other Race: 18.6% Degree and Certificate Completion Rate is 72.7% of the highest performing subgroup (Asian students, 25.6%) White: 20.2% Degree and Certificate Completion Rate is 78.9% of the highest performing subgroup (Asian students, 25.6%) Students 20 to 34 Years of Age: 15.0% Degree and Certificate Completion Rate is 56.0% of the highest performing subgroup (Students 35 or Older, 26.8%) In addition to examining the 2014-15 Degree and Certificate Completion Rate differences between subgroups and the total student population, the Office of Institutional Research also examined three-year trend data (2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15) to determine whether differences observed in the 2014-15 academic year represented increases/decreases in observed performance outcome differences. Tables 17 through 20 depict observed three-year differences between subgroups and the total student population related to race/ethnicity (table 17), gender (table 18), age range (table 19), and disability status, foster youth status, veterans status, and economically disadvantaged status (table 20) (NOTE: data is suppressed for subgroup populations with 10 or fewer cases). SUMMARY – DEGREE AND CERTIFICATE COMPLETION (COMBINED): Examining differences in observed subgroup Degree and Certificate Completion Rates relative to the general student population, by the percentage gap methodology, by largest observed gaps, by 80% Rule that compares subgroups against the highest performing subgroup, and over time (last 3-year data), subgroups that are most likely to experience disproportionate impact are: Students 20 to 34 Years of Age Black or African American Students Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 44 District: Chaffey College College: Chaffey College GOALS, ACTIVITIES, FUNDING AND EVALUATION: DEGREE AND CERTIFICATE COMPLETION GOAL D.

This task force will consist of faculty, staff and administrators with diverse backgrounds. The task force will meet a minimum of quarterly, or more frequently if needed. Responsibilities of this committee includes, but not limited to: 1) Serve as experts in respective specialties; 2) identify, implement and explore scaling of evidence based programs designed to increase service to traditionally underserved/underrepresented populations; 3) Monitor project progress toward stated goals and objectives; 4) Review reports/evaluation data and provide recommended programmatic adjustments, as needed; 5) Ensure that expenditures are documented in a manner which will satisfy federal, state and college policies and regulations; and 6) Facilitate strong communication and assist in appropriate dissemination of information concerning Equity Activities, accomplishments and opportunities across the College and other appropriate sources. D.2 The Equity Plan and "Basic Skills" initiative activities are inextricably linked. Ensuring the success of historically underrepresented students is the primary goal for both Equity and BSI initiatives at Chaffey. Specifically, the Faculty Success Center has a strong equity focus, and the last two Summer Institutes focused on equity-related issues have elevated those conversations to the forefront. Additionally, the college has engaged in a partnership with M2C3 to do surveys and focus groups with students, as well as focus groups with faculty, administrators and staff. These findings are the centerpiece or inspiration for a number of training activities that are jointly funded by Equity and BSI. Specifically, the efforts in math and English toward acceleration (Fast Track) and redesign target Chaffey's most vulnerable students. For instance, internal research demonstrated that young male students of color were more likely to repeat a math course. As a result, the Math Success Center redesigned some offerings in the Center, and before the student can repeat a math course for a third time, they are required to engage in help seeking behavior to assist them in reformulating their approach to learning in mathematics. That innovation has resulted in a reduction in third time math repeats by 30%. Chaffey has expanded a number of efforts that had their roots in Basic Skills funding. The most notable include Fast Track, the reading/English integration, and the Faculty Success Center. Fast Track began as a Faculty Inquiry Team project in 2011. As a result of the research and local dialog about acceleration, in 2011 the college initiated 50 accelerated sections, primarily in math and English. As a result of the data collected from that experiment, students experienced such an increase in success and motivation that the college has slowly scaled offerings in Fast Track to approximately 200 sections at all three campuses. Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 48 District: Chaffey College College: Chaffey College D.3 The college’s Faculty Advising model, as well as its hosting of summits for men of color have increase the individual connection for students to faculty and staff and have provided students with opportunities to see themselves as successful in the future. D.4 Ongoing professional development is vital for equipping faculty and leadership with the research based knowledge necessary to design effective courses and support structures, as well as implementing effective active learning and explicit teaching strategies across content areas. To this end, the Equity Plan PLO component is designed to create a sustained learning environment in which collaboration, instructional refinement, practice, and reflection can occur. Professional Learning Opportunities include: Local, State and National Conferences Opportunities - Conference attendance opportunities will be made available to promote innovation in teaching and learning. Selected PLO conferences will be highly interactive, action-driven experiences that build individual and collective understanding of effective solutions to help meet the specific needs of Chaffey students. Potential conferences may include HACU National Conference, A2Mend Conference, Black, Brown and College Bound, Achieving the Dream. Conference attendance will include faculty, staff and students and whenever possible will be in California, but may be out of state as necessary. D.5 Equity resources will be utilized to scale other non-instructional and student support services that provide one-on-one contact with students and help inform their educational planning. Multiple resources will be created through the Career and Transfer Centers to provide data and information on career exploration and transfer opportunities, respectively. Career Center personnel will work one-on-one with students to assess career interest, provide information on labor market projections, employment opportunities, and knowledge, skills, and abilities required in occupations of interest. Transfer Center personnel will work one-on-one with students to identify possible four-year destination institutions that offer programs of study that align with current and prospective student educational goals and interests. The Transfer Center will also arrange one-on-one appointments with representatives from various four-year institutions and trips to select four-year institutions. Financial literacy counseling will also be offered. • Evaluation For each activity associated with Student Equity Indicator #4 (ESL and Basic Skills Completion), Chaffey College has identified data collection timelines and measurable metrics that directly relate to and assess expected outcomes: Activity D.1.1: Research identifying evidence-based practices will be generated in order to facilitate task force decisions about scalability. The OIR will work directly with the task force to determine the scope and breadth of the studies and how proposed studies facilitate informed decisionmaking. Studies will be generated on an as-needed basis. Activity D.1.2: Research and evaluation components designed to assess the efficacy of scaled programs will inculcate pertinent Student Equity Plan indicators (e.g., course completion; basic skills completion; degree and certificate completion; transfer) that are relevant to the identified activities and student subpopulations impacted. Research designs will be determined in the 2016-17 academic year and initiated in Fall 2017. Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 49 District: Chaffey College College: Chaffey College Activity D.2: Utilizing MIS course (CB), section (XB), enrollment (SX) data, and Student Basic (SB) data elements, the OIR will examine disaggregated success, retention, and persistence rates by student demographic characteristics. As part of annual Student Equity Plan Indicator updates, degree and certificate completion rates for African American and Hispanic students will be examined to determine whether annual target goals are being achieved. Activity D.3: As part of the District’s expansion of Faculty Advising, the OIR will identify the number of faculty who annually participate in student advising. The District is currently exploring various student retention and data collection systems that allow data collection to occur at diverse locations (e.g., identified meeting places, faculty offices, etc.). Students who participate in faculty advising will also be identified. Number of students and faculty engaging in faculty advising will be documented and reported annually. Activity D.4.1 and D.4.2: Working with Chaffey’s Faculty Success Center, the OIR will identify the number of full-time and adjunct faculty who participated in Faculty Success Center training activities designed to promote culturally responsive teaching and learning strategies. The OIR will also work with the Office Professional Development to identify classified professionals who participate in Classified Success Network training opportunities that incorporate culturally responsive practices. Faculty will be surveyed annually to determine the extent to which activities were embedded within instructional practices. Classified professionals who participate in Classified Success Network activities will be surveyed immediately following their participation in training activities to ascertain the culturally responsive knowledge, skills, and abilities they acquired as a result of exposure to training. Activity D.5.1: Working with the Office of Counseling and Matriculation, the OIR will identify students who file abbreviated and comprehensive educational plans. OIR staff will work with Counseling and Matriculation staff and Office of Information Technology and Services (ITS) staff to ensure that MIS data element SS01 (Student Educational Goal) is accurately populated. An a semesterly basis, OIR staff will examine SS01 by student demographic characteristics to determine whether more students are reporting career/transfer educational goals and whether observed changes are proportionate to the Chaffey College student population. Activity D.5.2: Utilizing MIS Student Program Award (SP) data that is available annually in September/October and locally-approved certificates that are recorded in Colleague, the OIR will annually identify the number of students who were awarded degrees or certificates in the prior academic year. Award data will be disaggregated by student demographic characteristics to determine whether an increase in degrees/certificates conferred has occurred and whether awards conferred are representative of the Chaffey College student population. Activity D.6: In addition to updating Student Equity Indicators annually, the OIR will provided a comprehensive report that provides an overview of all research related to specific Student Equity Plan activities. Evidence about the efficacy of proposed Student Equity Plan activities will inform decision-makers; highlights from the report will be shared with the District’s Governing Board. Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 50 Success Indicator: Transfer TRANSFER E. TRANSFER.

Employing the 80% Rule, the following groups were identified as performing at less than 80% of the highest performing group (in the case of unique student populations (i.e., Veterans, Foster Youth, DPS Students, and Low Income), group performance was compared against the total student population): Hispanic or Latino: 25.7% Transfer Rate is 63.5% of the highest performing subgroup (Asian students, 40.5%) Black or African American: 31.1% Transfer Rate is 76.8% of the highest performing subgroup (Asian students, 40.5%) Students 20 Years of Age or Older: 17.0% Transfer Rate is 51.7% of the highest performing subgroup (Students 19 or Older, 32.9%) Students With Disabilities: 15.7% Transfer Rate is 52.3% of the total student population (30.0%) Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 52 District: College: In addition to examining the 2014-15 Transfer Rate differences between subgroups and the total student population, the Office of Institutional Research also examined three-year trend data (2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15) to determine whether differences observed in the 2014-15 academic year represented increases/decreases in observed performance outcome differences. Tables 33 through 36 depict observed three-year differences between subgroups and the total student population related to race/ethnicity (table 33), gender (table 34), age range (table 35), and disability status, foster youth status, veterans status, and economically disadvantaged status (table 36) (NOTE: data is suppressed for subgroup populations with 10 or fewer cases). SUMMARY – TRANSFER RATE: Examining differences in observed subgroup Transfer Rates relative to the general student population, by the percentage gap methodology, by largest observed gaps, by 80% Rule that compares subgroups against the highest performing subgroup, and over time (last 3-year data), subgroups that are most likely to experience disproportionate impact are: Students With Disabilities Students 20 Years of Age or Older Hispanic or Latino Students Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 53 GOALS, ACTIVITIES, FUNDING AND EVALUATION: TRANSFER GOAL E. The goal is to improve transfer for the following target populations identified in the college research as experiencing a disproportionate impact: Target Population(s) Current gap, year Example Group -4, 2014 Hispanic -4.3, 2015 African American -5.0, 2015 Students with Disabilities -2.3, 2015 Students 20 years of older -13.9, 2015 Foster Youth Insufficient Data *Expressed as either a percentage or number **Benchmark goals are to be decided by the institution. Goal* No gap -2.0 -3.0 -1.3 -10 Goal Year 2020 2018 2018 2018 2020 In addition to the identified target populations, current and former youth are also a target population. The data from the population as too small in comparison to the other groups, however we know that this is one of the most vulnerable groups of students in terms of completion and transfer. Extra efforts will be used to attend to this population. ACTIVITIES: E.

E.2 This program is designed to provide underrepresented students with guaranteed admissions to select UC law schools. Through this program, the ability to increase the students not only transferring, but also attending graduate school increases. E.3 The more students visit and see other institutions, the more likely they are to find one that is a fit and increase their desire to transfer. E.4 Creating pathways for underrepresented students to see various institutions increases their likelihood of feeling like they can transfer. • Evaluation For each activity associated with Student Equity Indicator #5 (Transfer), Chaffey College has identified data collection timelines and measurable metrics that directly relate to and assess expected outcomes: Activity E.1: Working with the Transfer Center, Chaffey College Leadership Team, and other key constituency groups, the OIR will use the 2015-16 academic year as a baseline to identify the current number of articulation agreements with four-year colleges and Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 56 District: Chaffey College College: Chaffey College universities. At the end of each academic year (approx. July), the OIR will work with these groups to identify new articulation agreements established within the past year in order to determine progress on this measure. Activity E.2: Working with the 2+2+3 Program Coordinator, Transfer Center, Chaffey College Leadership Team, and other key constituency groups, the OIR will identify participants in the 2+2+3 Legal Program. Program participants will be tracked through existing data sources (e.g., National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), UC transfer data, etc.) to determine transfer rate of program participants to participating UC and private four-year institutions. Disaggregated data will be analyzed annually. Activity E.3: Working with the Transfer Center, the OIR will use the 2015-16 academic year as a baseline to identify the current number of visits coordinated through the Transfer Center to four-year colleges and universities. At the end of each academic year (approx. July), the OIR will work with Transfer Center personnel to identify number of visits to four-year colleges and universities within the past year to determine progress on this measure. Students will also be surveyed in order to obtain feedback about satisfaction with and strengths/weaknesses of the visitation program. Activity E.4: Working with the Transfer Center, the OIR will use the 2015-16 academic year as a baseline to identify the number of students who: a) visit; b) apply; and c) transfer to four-year colleges and universities. At the end of each academic year (approx. July), the OIR will work with Transfer Center and utilize existing data sources to identify progress on these three measures.

F.2 The college has placed a focus on serving students whose housing or hunger status has affected their performance in the classroom, as well as their ability to persist and continue in school. F.3 Students who feel like they belong at the campus are more likely to succeed and having a college that supports the target populations particular background provides that since of belonging, which creates a desire to persist. F.4 Having a faculty that represents the make-up of the student body increases the positive climate of the college and provides students from the target populations a better sense of belonging and opportunity or mentoring. • Evaluation For each activity associated with Student Equity Indicator #5 (Transfer), Chaffey College has identified data collection timelines and measurable metrics that directly relate to and assess expected outcomes: Activity F.1: Extracting data from the District’s administrative computing system (Colleague), every semester the OIR will identify all enrollment withdrawal activity that occurs between the start date of the semester and first census date. Data will be disaggregated by student demographic characteristics to determine student subpopulations that are most likely to engage in this behavior. Withdrawal activity within this timeframe will be examined over time to determine whether observed withdrawal behavior – specifically among student subpopulations who are most likely to engage in this behavior – declines over time. Activity F.2: The OIR will work with the Director of Special Populations to develop a low-intrusion, confidential mechanism to identify homeless and/or socio-economically disadvantaged students who do not have access to basic human survival resources. Among students who obtain basic human survival resources, the OIR will track Student Equity Indicator data to determine whether performance outcomes experienced by this student subpopulation improve over time. Activity F.3: The OIR will facilitate the dissemination, collection, analysis, and reporting of a biennial Campus Climate Survey. Survey items will be based upon factors identified by President’s Equity Council that support activities addressed in the Student Equity Plan Chaffey College Student Equity Plan - 61 Disaggregated data will provide feedback from student subpopulations about their perceptions of the institution, support services, and learning environment. Activity F.4.1 and F.4.2: Utilizing data generated by the Office of Human Resources and reported in the annual Recruitment Analysis Monitoring Report, the OIR will examine the ratio of underrepresented employment applicants relative to the underrepresented population in the recruitment service area.
