CSU likely to miss 2025 graduation goals with ‘unacceptably high’ equity gaps, report says
LA TimesIn 2015, the California State University embarked on an ambitious goal: Over the next decade, it would dramatically boost graduation rates and eliminate persistent gaps for Black, Latino and Indigenous students. “This of course would be devastating, not just for the students whose untapped talent has not been fully realized, but for the state of California and our nation, given the important need for educated workers of all backgrounds,” Siqueiros said, adding that equity gaps remain “unacceptably high.” The report also found that graduation rates for Black, Latino and Indigenous students still lag significantly behind their white and Asian peers. Even at campuses with the highest graduation rates for Black students, including San Diego State University, their graduation rates lag behind white and Asian students by wide margins. Overall graduation rates for first-time students in 2022 were highest at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, one of the most competitive campuses and least diverse in the system.
