Role of Institutional Research in Achieving Equity

Surveying the field of institutional research in the California Community Colleges and understand the role played on campus to address racial inequity. First, we created a database of all institutional research offices in the state that captures: the name of the office, leadership structure, capacity/size, as well as the articulated purpose of the office. Second, we explored the ways that these IR offices and the individuals within them are prepared/trained to support equity-oriented reforms on campus. Check out our in-progress paper.
