Ensuring equity in higher education access and success for Black and Latino Californians requires building and maintaining robust pathways from Los Angeles' high schools to its colleges and universities. In this report, the authors note that California's high schools, community colleges, and public four-year universities have increased enrollment and support for Black and Latinx students who seek associate and bachelor's degrees. However, the challenges associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic threaten to offset and undo years of improvements for California's high schools and community colleges.
