Whereas, Resolution F14 20.01 Developing a System Plan for Serving Disenfranchised Students[1] calls for the ASCCC to work with the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office and the California Community Colleges Board of Governors to develop a long-range plan that will increase services for disenfranchised students, but the field is unclear to the definition of the term “disenfranchised student;”

Whereas, The Academic Senate for California Community Colleges’ (ASCCC) paper on developing student equity plans, Student Equity: Guidelines for Developing a Plan,[2] was adopted in Fall 2002, and does not use the term “disenfranchised students” but addresses issues that affect students often deemed disenfranchised; and

Whereas, Since the adoption of the Student Equity: Guidelines for Developing a Plan, changes that affect equity planning have occurred including the establishment of funding mechanisms and priorities intended to promote equity in all areas of our colleges and the increased attention on guided pathways and other strategies for addressing student equity achievement gaps;

Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges revise the 2002 paper Student Equity: Guidelines for Developing a Plan and bring the revised paper to the Fall 2018 Plenary Session for discussion and possible adoption.
