Black Caucus

ACADEMIC YEAR MEETINGS

2023-2024

2023 Fall Plenary Session Caucus Meeting Information Coming Soon!

Black Caucus Statement of Purpose

To support the teaching and learning goals of Black faculty and students by prioritizing an equity lens that considers the Pan-African perspectives of Black people and how it impacts their experiences in education such as the implications of race and ethnicity, intersectionality, socioeconomic status, diverse hiring pools, micro-aggressions, leadership role disparity, and how new initiatives impact Umoja Programs and Black students as a disproportionately impacted population.

Anticipated activities and objectives:

  1. Meet at ASCCC Plenary Sessions.
  2. Meet, network, and deliberate as a Black collective faculty voice on issues of common community college concern that caucus members feel are of vital importance.
  3. Participate and provide engagement in activities to provide professional development and mentoring opportunities independently and in coordination with ASCCC leadership.
  4. Seek solutions to issues and concerns through resolutions, rostrum articles, advocacy, events, and distribution of information.
  5. Seek to make recommendations that improve the work and impact of ASCCC on furthering the mission of the Black Caucus.
