The State of Higher Education for Latinx Californians. Executive Summary
Campaign for College Opportunity
The future of California will be defined by ensuring better educational opportunity for Latinx Californians. While historic numbers of Latinx students are graduating from high school prepared for college and are enrolling in higher education, these numbers are still too low. Inequitable access to college opportunity and success in graduating with a degree is very real. Today, most high schools fail to prepare the majority of their Latinx students for college. While both access and success for Latinx students enrolling in the University of California (UC) and the California State University (CSU) are improving, there are still disturbing gaps by race/ethnicity and gender, with Latinos attending and completing college at rates far below their Latina peers. The purpose of this report is not to simply highlight the statistics. Instead, it is to recognize that the problem has never been Latinx students or their families, but the choices made by society, institutions, and governments. This report calls on policymakers, college leaders, and the public to be intentional in demanding and removing unnecessary barriers and in providing equitable opportunities for Latinx students to succeed.
