The results of a search for Spanish surnames in the personnel directories of California Community Colleges for the years 1973-1978 and 1979-1983 indicate that, for the most part, Hispanics have not advanced into managerial positions in California Community Colleges in spite of affirmative action programs, legislation, and litigation. Over the 10-year period, 59% or 41 of the 70 districts have never hired a Hispanic in a district administrative position. For 8 years there was only one Hispanic superintendent-president (chancellor), until 1982-83 when the number increased to three. Only 29 Level 2 and 30 Level 3 administrative positions were filled by Hispanics. Urban areas with the exception of the San Diego area and Sacramento contained most of the Hispanic administrators, with southern California leading the way with 37 entries during the decade, followed by the San Francisco Bay Area with 28. Twenty-eight community colleges have not employed a Hispanic for a management position in over a decade. Research indicates that Hispanics do not actively seek positions; Hispanic mentors may not be willing to take a chance on promoting/hiring fellow Hispanics. There is no evidence to indicate that Hispanics have been accepted by the dominant group in managerial positions. (NEC)
