Aspirations to Achievement: Men of Color and Community Colleges

The Center for Community College Student Engagement released a report that explores college graduation achievement gaps by race and ethnicity. According to the authors, Black and Latino male students enroll in community colleges with higher aspirations than their White male counterparts; however, men of color complete community college degrees at a much lower rate than their white male counterparts. The report maintains that these disparities are embedded in the structure of existing programs, and community colleges should actively address this inequity by reimagining their programs.
