Leadership tracks the percentage of the college’s service area identified as economically disadvantaged
who enroll in credit classes during an academic year. Focus on this market segment
aligns with the college’s core competency of social equity, justice and economic viability.
Performance for this measure
●●
falls below the target range
●●
represents a 5.2 percentage point decline over the 2009-10 performance (see Figure 1.2.7)
While Richland’s two Upward Bound and SOAR programs are designed to serve economically
disadvantaged student populations, the continued poor economy has made it difficult for the
local service area economically disadvantaged student segment to pay tuition, buy books, and
maintain living expenses. Leadership left the target intact as a demonstration of commitment
to a core competency of social justice and equity.
