Counterstories of Policy Implementation: Using Reform to Address Latinx Student Equity

ABSTRACT We highlight how community colleges implement equity-oriented reform to address inequities facing Latinx students. Through counterstorytelling, we provide lessons learned on the implementation and impact of equity-oriented reform in community college. Key findings revealed that the reform is necessary, but not sufficient to improve racial equity for Latinx students, thus requiring campuses and practitioners to move beyond the margins of superficial efforts and compliance. Implications are shared on how to embed the concept of equity-mindedness to increase Latinx student success into the cultural and structural fabric of the institution.
