24
GCCCD Transfers to California Universities
Based on California Community Colleges
Chancellors Office Datamart.
25
GCCCD Transfers to Universities
Based on National Student Clearinghouse data
for students who completed at least three units
at the GCCCD and transferred within six years of
first attending the GCCCD.
26
Percent of Population Served by Ethnicity vs.
Service Area
Note Service area population estimates were
obtained from San Diego Association of
Governments Census 2004 estimates. Service area
includes all zip codes within the GCCCD boundary,
representing some or all of Alpine, Bonita, El
Cajon, Jamul, Lakeside, La Mesa, Lemon Grove,
Pine Valley, Ramona, San Diego, Santee, and
Spring Valley.
The U.S. Census Bureau permits respondents of
Hispanic origin to choose more than one ethnic
designation. Therefore, it is expected that the
Census estimates for Hispanics would be higher
than those reported for the District. GCCCD
students and staff are permitted to choose only
one ethnicity. This difference in data
collection makes any valid comparison difficult.
27
EEOC Expected vs. Actual F/T Staffing by
Ethnicity and Gender 2004/2005
Note EEOC expected number of staff reflects 80
of service area population rate, based on SANDAG
2004 estimates.
The U.S. Census Bureau permits respondents of
Hispanic origin to choose more than one ethnic
designation, whereas, GCCCD students and staff
are permitted to choose only one ethnicity.
Therefore, Census estimates for Hispanics are
expected to be somewhat higher than those
reported for the District.
