FCC Current Enrollment – Fall 2018
(as of today)
 
FCC designated
smoking areas
on campus
effective
1/1/2015
 
New laws-Smoking and the use of electronic cigarettes
would be banned on campuses of the California State
University and California Community Colleges systems
beginning in 2018 under legislation approved by the
state Assembly.
In May 2018, the Board of Governors approved a
resolution to make all 114 community colleges 100%
smoke and tobacco-free.
Currently 100% smoke-free campuses: all UC/CSU.
37% of 2-year colleges.
Changes coming…
 
QFE Goals to Improve Core 9 Results:
Goal 1: Engage the College in dialogue about Core 9
Indicators and possible evidence-based solutions to
improve results.
Goal 2: Select specific, evidence- based solutions that
support achievement of Core 9 Indicators
Goal 3: Create a Core 9 Achievement plan to implement
identified solutions
Institutional Set Standards Core 9
 
SPC, Institutional Research and Effectiveness (IRE)
Committee and Student Equity, and Success (SES)
committee will collaborate to develop opportunities for
data driven conversations and communication
Develop and conduct a constituency-based survey to
determine support for possible evidence-based solutions
SES will examine data, plans, initiatives, surveys,
including IRE recommendations, to select specific
evidence based solutions that are broadly supported by
constituent groups
Strategies to Improve Core 9
 
Develop multiple avenues for communication of Core 9
solutions
Create professional development opportunities, including
Flex Day activities, that support implementation of
solutions
Create a plan that clearly identifies broad constituent
supported solutions, outcomes, resources,
responsibilities, and assessment
Implement plan and assess results
Strategies to Improve Core 9

More than 50 years after redlining was
outlawed, the legacy of discrimination can still
be seen in California’s poorest large city.

Segregation is older than the city itself, dating to its post-
Gold Rush-ear founding.
Segregation that began with Chinese immigrants evolved
over time to target Hispanic and, most explicitly and acutely,
black residents.
In the 1800s, Fresno developed around a railroad station.
The poorest residents, and residents who were not white,
were forced to live, literally, on the other side of the tracks.
At an 1873 town meeting, Fresno’s white residents agreed
not to rent, sell or lease any land east of the railroad tracks,
where they and their families lived, to Chinese immigrants—
many of whom built the very tracks that cut them off from
the rest of Fresno
.
History of Fresno Segregation
 
Over the next 25 years, the city grew quickly and
attracted Mexican, Japanese, Armenian, and Italian
immigrants, who were also forced to live in southwest
Fresno.
In 1918, Fresno’s first-ever general plan formalized
existing residential segregation by reserving the southern
quadrants of the city for polluting, foul-smelling industrial
businesses, and affordable housing.
The zoning rules established a pattern that persists
today: Fresno’s poorest and most vulnerable residents
were consigned to the same neighborhoods as the city’s
dirtiest factories.
History of Fresno Segregation
 
These policies, and the redlining that cemented them, made
it virtually impossible for black Americans, who came to
Fresno in greater numbers after World War II, to move in
anywhere but the city’s southwest.
By the 1950s, nearly 100 percent of black Fresnans lived on
the west side.
The construction of Highway 99 in the 1950s - created
another physical barrier between the west side and the rest
of Fresno.
It was referred as “Fresno’s Berlin Wall” by a member of the
Fresno County Board of Supervisors.
History of Fresno Segregation
 
The city’s schools were as divided as its neighborhoods.
Edison High School had a population that was 99.6%
minority students.
School administrators were assigning black and Hispanic
students to “mentally retarded classes.”
In 1973, Fresno Unified School District was cited in
violation of Civil Rights Act for heavily segregated
schools.
History of Fresno Segregation
 
In the decades that followed, city plans and zoning
ordinances kept the southwest isolated. Fresno’s leaders
concentrated the city’s wealth and development farther
north, catering to its affluent white neighborhoods.
Today Shaw Avenue has replaced the railroad tracks as
the city’s dividing line: White and wealthy above it, poor,
black, and Hispanic below.
A 1970s-era city planning document actually refers to
the street as Fresno's Mason-Dixon Line.
History of Fresno Segregation
 
Fresno is now the largest city in California’s Central
Valley, the lifeblood of California, whose fertile
fields feed the country. But in the majority-minority
city of half a million, those riches are not equally
divided.
Eighty years later, the gulf between white, black,
and brown residents remains embedded in the city’s
geography.
Life expectancy:
North Fresno – 90 years
South and southwest – 20 years less.
Fresno’s Mason-Dixon Line
 
There’s more concentrated poverty
in south and southwest of Fresno
than nearly anywhere else in
America.
Fresno’s Mason-Dixon Line
 
“Once you have a group of people segregated into a
place you can take resources from that place. It
creates a monster of social inequality that falls
along racial lines, then it recreates itself. The
boundaries are put in place and it automates itself
from there.”
- Amber Crowell, a Fresno State sociologist
Fresno’s Mason-Dixon Line
 
“We’ve done a very good job at sectioning off the
poor. We do that better than almost any other place
in the country. And it’s not by accident.”
- Matthew Jendian, chair of Fresno State’s sociology department.

  19. In 1936, the Fresno Home Owners' Loan Corporation drew color-coded maps to determine who would get the credit necessary to buy houses. White neighborhoods were shaded green, and white buyers in these areas were generally approved for loans. Neighborhoods with large minority populations were shaded red, denied mortgages, and labeled undesirable. The Home Owners' Loan Corporation used this redlining map to preserve segregation in Fresno.
