Transformational College Redesign

Building Blocks for Institutionalizing Racial Equity

Mina Dadgar

Evidence  abounds about why it is important to pursue racial equity in higher  education. Yet, how to practically remove long-standing oppressive  structures, processes, and mindsets is less clear. This resource  highlights learnings from California Community Colleges' equity  champions about the three essential “building blocks” of creating  lasting transformational change in service of equity.

  1. Lay a Strong foundation for Reform: Engage in movement building and uplifting the campus equity champions

  2. Gather the right Crew: Create inclusive teams and meaningfully involve students

  3. Scaffold Services Based on Need: Universally redesign oppressive structures while prioritizing resources by need
