COMMISSION'S VISION 2020(California Community College League)

SuccessPrograms and support services should be designed to maximize the

ability of students to be successful in meeting their higher education

goals (e.g., certificate or degree completion.)

Equity

Access

Access and success should regularly be monitored (by ethnicity and

social class) and interventions to close achievement gaps between

groups should be a campus priority.

California should continue to lead the nation in participation rate (i.e.,

the number of students per 1,000 residents) enrolled in higher

education.
