Recommendations include creating “welcoming and affirming spaces” for Black students, early outreaching in California K-12 schools, and launching a “Central Office for the Advancement of Black Excellence.” “While correcting longstanding inequities will take time, we must take immediate and decisive action,” Chancellor Jolene Koester said in a June 19 press release.Ī workgroup released 13 recommendations to “advance Black student success” across the 23 CSU universities, according to a report released June 19. California State University will allocate $10 million over three years to address declining graduation and retention rates among black students in the CSU system.
