With a divided Congress and a Democratic president, legislators will not likely reauthorize the Higher Education Act this year. However, critical issues that impact community colleges and our students are still being discussed– primarily over increasing the debt ceiling and Department of Education regulations. Below are the CCLC's summations on the debt ceiling, Dept. of Education regulations, Title IX & gainful employment.

One of the League's services to districts throughout California is the Community College Library Consortium, a joint project with the Council of Chief Librarians. 

The Community College League of California (League) would like to congratulate the 2021 program cohort and those that have ascended to a new role at a college. To date, eight participants from the 2021 inaugural cohort have either secured a CEO position or are currently serving in an acting or interim CEO Position.

In March, League staff attended and sponsored the 15th Annual A2MEND Summit. Since its inception, the A2MEND Annual Summit has been focused on making a difference in the lives of African American male students by supporting community college education. This year’s theme, A Radical Reimagination of Black Male Student Success, was a call to action for colleges, educators, and advocates to fundamentally change how we think of Black male student success. As California’s community colleges move beyond the pandemic, many recognize we need to do things differently. To create better outcomes, we must elevate our thinking to reimagine Black male student success.
