Spaces of Inclusion? Teachers’ Perceptions of School Communities with Differing Student Racial & Socioeconomic Contexts https://civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/research/k-12-education/integration-and-diversity/spaces-of-inclusion-school-communities In a nation experiencing rapidly shifting demographics, a broadened definition of inclusive education is appropriate. Differences in ability--but also by race and ethnicity, sexuality, gender, religion, and class--are found in classrooms across the nation, and our teaching force must respond accordingly.No publishercrooksdiversitycivil rightsschool integrationminority studentsteacherssegregation2014-05-30T21:59:47ZResearch ItemUCLA Report Links School Integration with Positive Leadership and Better Community Relations https://civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/news/press-releases/crp-press-releases-2012/teachers-survey-positive-leadership Teachers’ perceptions differ widely by the racial and socioeconomic makeup of their schoolNo publisherrussman2012-06-26T23:50:55ZPress ReleaseDiscipline Policies, Successful Schools, and Racial Justice https://civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/research/k-12-education/school-discipline/discipline-policies-successful-schools-and-racial-justice This research makes clear that unnecessarily harsh discipline policies are applied unfairly and disproportionately to minority students, dragging down academic achievement. The report documents a trend across the United States in which minority students routinely receive major penalties, including school suspensions, for minor school offenses. The materials also show how criminalizing kids detrimentally affects student learning, and criticizes the federal government’s minimal efforts to collect data in any uniform way on the large number of students kicked out of school.

The CSU has a much larger undergraduate student body than the University of California system and educates a much larger group of Latino and African American students. Many CSU students are first-generation college students struggling to get an education in difficult times.No publishercrooksfinancinghigher education2014-04-24T23:34:39ZResearch ItemState Policy Briefing: The CSU Crisis and California's Future https://civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/events/copy_of_2010/state-policy-briefing-the-csu-crisis-and-californias-future At this event, leading scholars present research findings on the impact of fiscal cutbacks on opportunity for higher education in the California State University system. CSUs educate a greater number of Latino and African American students, enroll a much larger undergraduate student body than the University of California system overall, and many CSU students are first-generation college students struggling to get an education in difficult times. Representatives from the Legislative Analyst’s Office, California Senate, and Postsecondary Education Commission respond to the researchers and open the discussion to attendees.No publisherrussman2012-06-26T23:54:14ZEventUnderstanding How Resegregation Affects Schools: The Views of Wichita Teachers, Parents, and Students https://civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/research/k-12-education/integration-and-diversity/understanding-how-resegregation-affects-schools-the-views-of-wichita-teachers-parents-and-students Historically segregation of schools and neighborhoods spread school by school, neighborhood by neighborhood. If a community does not want a future of spreading segregation and inequality in its schools it needs to have a plan to avoid it. Neighborhood schools are not such a plan; in fact they create conditions that facilitate the spread of segregation.No publishercrooksracial integration2014-08-19T21:57:46ZResearch ItemExperiencing Integration in Louisville: How Parents and Students See the Gains and Challenges https://civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/news/press-releases/2011/experiencing-integration-in-louisville-how-parents-and-students-see-the-gains-and-challenges The Civil Rights Project/Proyecto Derechos Civiles released the much-anticipated results of their survey of Jefferson County, KY parents and high school students regarding diverse education in the county’s public schools. “Experiencing Integration in Louisville: How Parents and Students See the Gains and Challenges,” is an analysis of survey responses regarding the public’s experiences with integration efforts after the implementation of the Jefferson County Public Schools’ (JCPS) new student assignment plan, which began in 2009.

Three years after the Supreme Court’s 2007 PICS decision ended Louisville's former plan, these surveys tried to get a sense of the community's experiences with school integration efforts after JCPS’s new student assignment plan was implemented in 2009.

As the country continues moving steadily toward greater segregation and inequality of education for students of color in schools with lower achievement and graduation rates, the rapid growth of charter schools has been expanding a sector that is even more segregated than the public schools. The Civil Rights Project has been issuing annual reports on the spread of segregation in public schools and its impact on educational opportunity for 14 years. We know that choice programs can either offer quality educational options with racially and economically diverse schooling to children who otherwise have few opportunities, or choice programs can actually increase stratification and inequality depending on how they are designed. The charter effort, which has largely ignored the segregation issue, has been justified by claims about superior educational performance, which simply are not sustained by the research. Though there are some remarkable and diverse charter schools, most are neither. The lessons of what is needed to make choice work have usually been ignored in charter school policy. Magnet schools are the striking example of and offer a great deal of experience in how to create educationally successful and integrated choice options.

The report examines the effects of the dual processes of racial transformation and resegregation on the educational opportunity of students, as well as the relationship between race and poverty and its implications in light of the recent Supreme Court decisions. The report concludes with recommendations for school districts.

We discuss policies that could reverse these trends. The language in the Supreme Court’s recent decision on affirmative action and the integration of higher education offer some real hope for improvement.
