Jordan“Why HSI?” Town Hall Meeting • Tivoli Turnhalle • April 19, 2007

  2. Colorado’s Paradox 35th in sendinglow-income students to college 48th in sendingminority students to college Source: Colorado College Summit Ranked 2nd–most highly educated state Source: Colorado College Summit

  3. 358,683 Colorado’s shifting demographics: projected change by 2020 Source: U.S. Census Bureau

  4. Projected High School Graduates from 2002-03 to 2016-17 Source: Western Interstate Higher Education Commission (WICHE)

  5. Colorado’s Shrinking Pipeline 80% Denver Public Schools • Denver Public Schools’ student population is 80 percent ethnic minority • The Community College of Denver offers the most ethnically diverse community college experience with 56 percent students of color • Metro State has the largest minority student population of any four-year institution in the Front Range at just under 25 percent. The state average for four-year colleges is 17 percent. % ethnic minority 56% Community College of Denver 25% Metro State College

  6. Economic Sense for Colorado • If Colorado could graduate and employ students of color at the same rate as other students, total personal income in the state would be nearly $3.7 billion higher. (Source: National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education)

  7. Holding a mirror to ourselves • Metro State and Ft. Lewis College participated in a study that monitors equity in four areas for historically underrepresented students: • access • retention • institutional receptivity • academic excellence Source: Metro State College 2005 Equity Scorecard Report

  8. Reflections from the mirror Results indicated: • These students are more likely to need remedial courses, earn poor grades and fail to graduate. This is true regardless of their grades from high school. • There is a lack of continuous advising and support from Metro State while students are taking remediation at the community colleges. • This creates a “trap-door” effect for many of these students, as Metro State admits them to the College but then allows most of their initial education to occur at community colleges.

  9. Strengthening our students’ “Safety Net” • Initial strategies: • First-year success program • Achieving status as an Hispanic Serving Institution by the next decade • Increase full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty by 420 by 2011, of those 25 percent will be faculty of color. • Hired 61 full time faculty of color since 2005-06 • Created an Office of Institutional Diversity to focus on inclusive excellence • Teamed with community colleges to restructure and align the remedial programs our students take, and develop 2+2 programs • Aligning with the metro Denver community to develop opportunities for students and faculty members to work together in solving community problems

  10. Embracing Diversity Through Inclusive Excellence Metro State values diversity and has identified diversity as one of its strategic planning goals. The Office of Institutional Diversity works to uphold the values of the college mission and serves as a resource and leader on the institution’s path to “Inclusive Excellence”.

  11. Diversity Inclusive Excellence Inclusive excellence moves beyond numbers and involves embedding practices and philosophies that encourage diversity in every aspect of an organization (Kathleen Nalty, 2007). Inclusive excellence promotes the institutionalization of systemic practices and philosophies generating a broader outcome with numerical representation resulting in a byproduct of Inclusive Excellence. The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of age, race, gender, ethnicity, national origin, disabilities, sexual orientation, religion as well as intellectual differences.
