Gov. Newsom along with SB 1348 signed a handful of other bills meant to address the impacts of African American enslavement and continued racial discrimination.
Students walk by the Walter Pyramid on the Cal State Long Beach campus Friday, Aug 6, 2021. Both the CSU and University of California systems announced last week that they would require students and faculty to be vaccinated. Some California colleges and universities will soon show their commitment to the success of African American students in higher education.
Bradford in a Monday interview said that SB 1348 fills an important void by recognizing the commitment of California colleges and universities that are making significant investments in ending historic disparities that exist for Black students. “I hope it helps with enrollment, but more importantly, not only getting in the door, but out the door with a degree,” Bradford said. “African Americans are less likely to enter college right out of high school; I hope it gives a bigger incentive and wraparound services to help encourage students to take a full time load.”
The goal behind to-be-designated schools also come on the backs of Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the U.S., he added, which were founded in the 20th century to let African American families know their students would be accepted and welcomed there when they weren’t allowed to enroll elsewhere.
In collaboration with that office, a board made of representatives from the California Senate and Assembly, University of California, California State University, California Community Colleges, Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities, and the California Legislative Black Caucus will decide which schools to award the title.
“As we confront the lasting legacy of slavery, I’m profoundly grateful for the efforts put forward,” Newsom said in a press release. “The State of California accepts responsibility for the role we played in promoting, facilitating, and permitting the institution of slavery, as well as its enduring legacy of persistent racial disparities.
