Welcome to IDEA! Overview The Los Medanos College, Institutional Development for Equity and Access (IDEA) will facilitate coordinated and organized action to shift diversity, equity, and inclusion from the periphery of the college's activities to the center of the institution's mission, programs and policies. IDEA evolved from LMC's partnership with California Tomorrow's Campus Change Network (CCN) that began in Fall of 2006. CCN partners with and supports community college leaders in strenghthening, expanding and institutionalizing change efforts around issues of diversity, access and equity. The Campus Change Network is designed to convene and engage 6-8 teams of community college faculty, administrators, staff and student leaders to discuss, share and learn from practices and models that have created fundamental campus reforms around access and equity. Initiative and Actions IDEA's analysis of college date such as student, faculty and staff characteristics, retention, success, persistence and goal achievement rates (degrees, certificate and transfer) determined areas in need of critical attention. The areas of concern focus on three points: (1) conditions of academic success amongst African American and Chicano/Latino students; (2) student leadership and engagement; and (3) development of shared language amongst LMC professional community on the issues of diversity, equity and inclusion.
