Diversity Found Lacking In California Higher Ed

U of California

Latinos are California's largest single minority group.  But Latinos can be hard to find among the faculty and administration of California's public colleges, both two- and four-year. 

And that's not the only group under-represented.  69% of students are diverse, but 60% of college faculty and senior leadership are white. 

The Campaign for College Opportunity documents the trends .  Michele Siqueiros is the president of the organization; she joins us to explain the report's findings and implications.
