COVID-19 has exposed and exacerbated entrenched inequities spawned
by the historical and structural reality of bigotry, prejudice,
discrimination, and inequity in all forms, and at institutional and
individual levels. It is perceived that higher education
institutions also perpetuates these inequities, which is fuelled by
prevailing misconceptions, such as "college should be limited to
the privileged few"; or that "community colleges are in some way
'inferior'." Recognizing Promise re-establishes the role community
colleges can play in reversing centuries of racial and gender
disparities in economic wealth, health, education, and life
expectancy stemming from current and historical policies and
practices that sustain structural racism. The result is a more
civic-minded, educated citizenry and a stronger workforce of
tomorrow. Educators in the community college space, in partnership
with business, industry and philanthropic leaders, can lead the way
in reasserting commitment toward eradicating racism and sustaining
reform that advocates inclusive excellence, educational access and
programmatic diversity, and the alignment of learning with
opportunities in the workplace.
