- Description:
- During spring 2006 the Office of Distance and Distributed Education (DDE) surveyed students and instructors enrolled in, or teaching courses in, the distance education environment. The purpose was to cast light on how distance education at CSUS is going for students and instructors. DDE was also interested in finding out ways to improve its services. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed at the conclusion of the spring semester. Twenty-six instructors and 1,139 students completed the surveys.

- Description:
- This report examines the academic needs and challenges of Hmong students at Sacramento State. It explores the students’ experiences, using both numeric and narrative data, and then considers institutional changes that will better support their academic development. This report provides implications for educators and policymakers, including academic institutions that serve large numbers of frst-generation Hmong students whose parent did not complete a four-year college degree. The report gives Sacramento State an insight into the experiences of the 1,000+ Hmong students it serves. The goal is to begin a rich conversation that will identify comprehensive policies and innovative practices that will increase the college completion rate among Hmong students.

- Description:
- Much recent scholarship has considered the persistent gap in college completion rates between Latino and non-Latino students. This gap is widely seen as a major American social problem given the well documented community and personal benefits of a baccalaureate degree, and the growing share of society that is Latino in background. Yet while many important findings have been reported, the extant literature suffers from two problems: 1) there is often a lack of clarity about how ethnicity might influence college completion rates; and 2) many studies are not comparative in nature, leading to weak inferences about the impact of ethnicity. I attempt to address both problems in the present critical review of the literature. First, I identify three different types of explanations as to how ethnicity might affect college completion. Second, I identify a number of specific conclusions in each of these areas that can be drawn from the extant literature. In particular, I suggest that the most well supported conclusions pertain to the impact of the average socio-economic status of Latinos relative to non-Latinos. By contrast, arguments about cultural differences (especially pertaining to family relations) and campus climate are provocative but less well supported. Additionally, despite a few claims to the contrary, my review indicates that commonly used college retention models are as applicable to Latino students as non-Latinos. The conclusion to the paper identifies implications for policy and further research.
