The Mission of ILACHE
- To
create awareness of Latino higher education issues and advocate for
change.
- To
provide a statewide forum for Latino educators, community
representatives and others who are committed to Latino representation,
advancement and professional success.
Why is a Latino Higher Education
Agenda Needed?
- In 2006 only 11% of Latinos had competed four years
of college or more.
- Only 10% of college-age Latinos in
Illinois were enrolled in a college or university in 1999.
- Only 14% of Latinos in Illinois were
enrolled in a community college in 1999.
- Less than 3% of all full-time faculty
were Latino while Latinos received only 3.5% of all doctorates awarded
in 2006.
- Latinos continue to be enrolled
primarily in community colleges with only a fraction of these students
transferring and graduating from baccalaureate programs.
- The lack of sufficient financial aid
discourages Latinos from attending college and increases the burden of
those who do.
- According to the 2000 census, Latinos
are the fastest growing population nationally and in the state of
Illinois.
- The Latino population growth accounted
for 35% of the total population growth.
- Latinos have grown 41.1% in Illinois.
