Equity Data Sources and Methods for Disproportionate Impact Analysis

Equity Data Sources and Methods Presented by Matthew Trengove, PhD., & Layheng Ting, PhD. GROWING LEADERS Opportunity. Engagement. Achievement. www.hartnell.edu

Introduction Promote a deeper understanding of the data, sources, and methods for calculating disproportionate impact Data: Vision for Success dashboard, DataMart and/or Student Success Metrics Dashboard Methods: enacted by the California Community College Chancellor s Office (CCCCO) and codified through the Hartnell governance process (e.g., Strategic Plan and/or IEF). Institutional Effectiveness Framework (IEF) Metrics are assigned an Aspirational, Attainable & Minimum Expectation target to allow for normal fluctuations in the data to be resolved and/or revealed over time. Minimum expectation (ME): represent minimally acceptable outcome below which extraordinary action (EAC) must be taken.* *Normally taken as a result of a trend of three consecutive years of unacceptable performance.

Disporportionate Impact (DI) Methodologies The CCCCO uses The 80% Rule to calculate DI among enrollment, retention, success & completion metrics. Does a subgroup achieve the desired outcome less than 80% of the time? 80% index = cohort group rate reference group rate based on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) 80% Rule in which a selection rate for any race, sex, or ethnic group is less than four-fifths will generally be regarded by Federal enforcement agencies (e.g., Title VII enforcement by the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission, Department of Labor, and the Department of Justice) as evidence of adverse impact (CCCCO, 2014). Other methods include: The Percentage Point Gap (PPG): Is there a difference in a given demographic group and the observed overall average/mean across all demographic groups? Percentage point gap = % of outcome for students in subgroup % of outcome for all students The Proportionality Index (PI): If a subgroup of students represents 45% of the student body, does that same subgroup also represent at least 45% of the students who achieve the desired outcome? Proportionality index = proportion in outcome group proportion in cohort GROWING LEADERS Opportunity. Engagement. Achievement. www.hartnell.edu
