The Blacks and Higher Education California Profile was compiled by The Campaign for College Opportunity with data from The Institute for Higher Education Leadership and Policy (IHELP) at Sacramento State University and UCLA IDEA, UC/ACCORD. The profile documents college-going rates and completion rates for black students finding downward trends in both areas. At a time when the state is projected to have a shortage of one million trained workers with a baccalaureate degree, California must ensure that more black students graduate from high school ready for college and are successful in reaching their college goals.
