RESOLVED, That the Student Senate of California Community Colleges advocate for requirements that California community colleges, as well as the Chancellor’s Office disaggregate data into the twenty-four regional racial groups defined by the United States Census,[6] when reporting or analyzing metrics of student achievement, success, outcomes, or other similar metrics — for purposes of clarity these would include retention rates, enrollment rates, persistence term-to-term rates, and graduation rates; and
RESOLVED, That the Student Senate of California Community Colleges urge the Chancellor's Office to publish data disaggregated by the twenty-four regional racial groups defined by the United States Census, concerning student achievement, success, outcomes, or other similar metrics, in a public and easily accessible location such as DataMart, broken down by institution, district, and systemwide.

Status:
The SSCCC is working with the Research and Planning Group (RP Group), which has begun this work. The RP Group has developed a document that defines the importance of disaggregating the data to under the students each campus services. The document can be found at this link. The California Community College Chancellor’s Office also collects much of the data defined in the RP document but more work needs to be done. In collaboration with the RP Group, the SSCCC will approach the Chancellor’s Office to begin to implement this work further.
