| Abstract | Community colleges have made great strides in advancing student success and completion during the last decade. But not all students have benefited from these efforts equally. According to the Lumina Foundation, the postsecondary attainment rate for adults in the United States is around 40 percent. Yet, there are still large gaps in attainment between various student populations. For instance, just 27 percent of African American adults have a college degree or certificate. For Native American and Latinx adults, the numbers are even smaller: 23 percent and 20 percent, respectively. To identify these gaps and support all students having an equal chance at success, Association of American Community Colleges (AACC) has launched a new national initiative called Unfinished Business. Unfinished Business is not about identifying every obstacle to success, according to the president and CEO of the AACC, but is about "having the tools to identify equity issues and achievement gaps and understanding the barriers that create them. We will strive to develop tools and ways of thinking that will arm our college presidents with powerful and meaningful ways to ensure that all students have a clear pathway to attaining their goals." This article describes Unfinished Business and how campus leaders have committed to equity in student outcomes. (ERIC). |
