Descriptive Background and Demographics
Background
The Chabot-Las Positas Community College District is in its 42nd year of providing educational opportunities to residents of the Bay Area. Voters approved the District, originally named the South County Community College District, on January 10, 1961. Chabot College opened for classes on September 11, 1961, on a seven and one-half acre temporary site in San Leandro with an enrollment of 1,132 students. The current 94-acre Chabot College site on Hesperian Boulevard in Hayward opened for its first day of classes on September 20, 1965. To serve residents of Eastern Alameda County, Chabot College opened its Valley Campus on March 31, 1975, on 147 acres in Livermore. The Valley Campus was designated a separate college, Las Positas College, in 1988. Chabot College primarily serves residents of Alameda County in the East Bay area, including Castro Valley, Hayward, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, and Union City. Las Positas College primarily serves residents of Alameda County and a portion of Contra Costa County in the Tri-Valley area, including the communities of Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and Sunol. The District serves 18 public high schools and four parochial schools.
Facilities at the Chabot College Hayward campus originally included buildings for classrooms and laboratories, a cafeteria and student government offices, a bookstore, a Learning Resource Center, and offices for student services, administration, and faculty. A 1,432-seat Performing Arts Center was financed jointly with the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District and provides for a host of community and college events. Special campus facilities include a television studio equipped to cablecast programs over local cable television, a radio station, a planetarium, art gallery, gymnasium, Olympic-size pool, football stadium, baseball diamond, enclosed softball facilities, twelve tennis courts, indoor racquetball courts, weight training facilities, and a fitness center.
Since the original campus was constructed in 1965, the College has added a new bookstore, an Emergency Medical Services building, a Reprographics and Graphic Arts building, a Children’s Center, and a new Music wing. In 1999 a new Chemistry and Computer Science building was completed. To comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, over $6 million has been spent on facilities across the campus. Many buildings have been renovated to accommodate changes in the curriculum and new services to students, including the Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum (WRAC) Center, the Tutorials Center, the Disabled Students’ Resource Center, the Dental Hygiene Clinic, the Technology Center, and the Technology/Engineering/Graphics Communications building. Additionally, 22 computer labs have been created at various sites on the campus. Major facility modifications since the 1996 accreditation report include the Library remodeling project, the creation of a Workforce Development Center, renovation and expansion of the pottery/ceramics studio, conversion of the old chemistry building into modern classrooms and the college Assessment Center, an expansion of the Children’s Center, remodeling of microbiology labs and science classrooms following a fire in Building 2100, resurfacing of the track, conversion of the men’s locker room into a modern weight training room, and expansion of the main student computer lab in the library.
Demographics
Introduction
This report briefly describes the area served by Chabot College, including an overview of both the economy and population demographics. Then Chabot students are described in some detail, with data on enrollments, enrollment status, demographics, part-time or full-time status, educational goals, and other areas. Finally, Chabot’s faculty, staff and administrators are described. Where available, trends and projections are provided. In many cases, more extensive reports exist on the topics highlighted here. For example, data in this summary are from the Student Characteristics Report: 2001-2002, which is in press. More details on the demographics of the local population can be found in the Student Characteristics Report: 2000-2001 [General Reference 13].
The Economy of the Service Area
This section of the report provides an economic profile of the primary cities served by Chabot College: Hayward, San Leandro, Union City, Castro Valley, and San Lorenzo. These cities cluster along a north-south corridor in the East Bay, just south of Oakland, California. The area is part of the larger San Francisco Bay Area. Where city-level data are not available, we report numbers for Alameda County, which includes all of the Chabot cities. Chabot cities make up one-quarter of the 1.4 million residents of the county.
Mean household income in Chabot cities is $67,583, somewhat lower than the county average of $72,525. The unemployment rate as of August 2002 was 5.8 percent in the service area, lower than the 6.6 percent county rate. The unemployment rate has been increasing recently across the Bay Area, in part because of the downturns in technology and tourism, from below 3 percent in early 2001 to their current levels. The overall poverty rate in 1998 in Alameda County was 11 percent, with 17 percent of all children living in poverty.
The industrial mix of the area is diverse. Measured by civilian employment, the largest share (16 percent) of those employed in Chabot cities work in manufacturing. Another 16 percent work in educational, health, and social services. Twelve percent work in retail trade and 11 percent in professional, scientific, and other services. Other large industries represented are transportation and finance, insurance, and real estate. With respect to occupations, nearly one-third of workers are employed in managerial or professional occupations. Almost as many work in sales and office jobs. Sixteen percent work in production, transportation or material moving occupations and 12 percent are employed in service jobs. Further details for Chabot cities and the county are available in Tables 1A and 1B.

Note: The Federal government considers race and Hispanic origin to be two separate and distinct concepts.
In the Chabot area, whites constitute the largest share (37 percent) but are no longer a majority as they were in 1990. Hispanic/Latinos represented 25 percent of the total, followed by Asians (23 percent), African Americans (8 percent) and smaller shares for other race-ethnicity groups. The Los Positas area is 73 percent white, 12 percent Hispanic/Latino, 9 percent Asian, 3 percent African American with smaller percentages for the remaining groups.
Another distinguishing feature of the population in the service area is the presence of immigrants. For Chabot cities, 32 percent of the population was foreign born, 13 percent for Los Positas cities. This is consistent with data on the primary language spoken at home: 57 percent English only in Chabot cities compared to 83 percent for Las Positas cities.
Table 3 provides the highest degree level of the population age 25 and over for the residents of the service area. In Chabot cities, a quarter of the residents have a high school degree, another quarter have some college but no degree. Seven percent have an Associate’s degree and another 24 percent have a bachelor’s or graduate degree.

In 2001, there were 3,669 high school graduates from Chabot cities and 11,269 for Alameda County. Table 4 shows the projected high school graduations through 2009 for Alameda County. One measure of student outcomes is the number of high school graduates prepared for the highly rated four-year universities in the area. In 2001, 36 percent of high school graduates from Chabot cities were prepared for the University of California or California State University (CSU has a campus in Hayward).

Characteristics of Chabot College Students
Demographic
As of Fall 2001, there were 15,149 students enrolled at Chabot College. Figures 1-4 display the demographic characteristics of the student population. Women compose 56 percent of the student body. There is a wide and nearly even age dispersion among students: 22 percent are 19 years old or younger, then 11 to 16 percent are in each of the following age groupings: 20-21, 22-24, 25-29, 30-39, 30-49, and 50 and older. Just over two-thirds of all students had their official residence in the Chabot-Los Positas District, with 29 percent in other districts, and 2 percent in other states or countries.
The Chabot campus has a long tradition of diversity (see Table 5). In 1978, whites made up two-thirds of Chabot students; by 2001, their share had dropped to less than one-third (32 percent). The remaining student population is 19 percent Latino, 19 percent Asian, 13 percent African American, 9 percent Filipino, with additional representation of Middle Easterners, Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders. These numbers track very closely to the local population, with slightly higher representation of African Americans and slightly lower percentages for Latinos and Asians.

Educational
Just over half (53 percent) of students are continuing, but for 17 percent of the student body, Chabot is their first experience in any college. An additional 17 percent are transfers, and 11 percent are returning students. Chabot also hosts a small number (2 percent) of high school students. One-quarter of all students are full-time (12 units or more), about another quarter are part-time with 6-11.5 units, and 47 percent of students are carrying 0.5-5.5 units. Educational goals are as diverse as the students. One-quarter of all students hope to transfer with an AA or AS degree. About 10 percent intend to transfer with no degree, another 9 percent seek an AA or AS with no transfer, and almost a quarter (23 percent) have other goals or are undecided. Details on some of the other educational goals and on other educational characteristics of the student population can be found in Figures 5-8 and Table 6.

Enrollment Trends
Tables 7A and 7B, and Figure 9 show the enrollment trends in active registered students. Chabot College opened as a one-college district in 1961 with 1,132 students and grew to over 19,000 by 1977. In 1975, Chabot College became a two-campus district with the opening of the Valley Campus, which became Las Positas College in 1988. Between 1978 and 1995, while total enrollment remained steady, enrollments at Valley Campus/Las Positas College grew from 17 percent in 1978 to 34 percent of the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District in 2001. The ratio has been stable for the past four years. Chabot College currently accounts for 66 percent of total enrollments, or 15,149 students.

Several other trends reflect changing realities for Chabot students. In 1962, the college had about equal numbers of full-time and part-time students, 47 percent vs. 53 percent, respectively. By 2001, that had changed dramatically, with three-quarters of students being part-time and one-quarter full-time. The age distribution has shifted a bit also. Between 1978 and 2001, there were declines in the share of students 19 and under (27 percent to 22 percent) and increases for those 30-49 (23 to 28 percent) and those 50 or over (7 to 11 percent). The 20-24 year old category remained stable at 27 percent. Additional trend data on enrollment status, student level, day and evening registrations, gender, district residence, citizenship and average grades are available in the Student Characteristics Report: 2000-2001 [General Reference 13].
Characteristics of Chabot College Faculty, Staff, and Administrators
As of Fall 2001, there were 743 staff at Chabot: nearly half were part-time faculty, one-quarter each were full-time faculty and full-time classified, and very small percentages were part-time classified and administrators. The faculty were approximately 55 percent male, 45 percent female. Women made up even larger proportions for staff and administrators. The race-ethnicity mix varies: the percent white ranged from a high of 73 percent for full-time faculty to a low of 55 percent for full-time staff. Full-time faculty included 11 percent Asian or Pacific Islander, 8percent African American, 8 percent Latino, and 1 percent each for Filipino and Native American. For full-time classified staff, Asian or Pacific Islanders, African Americans, andLatinos each had a 14 percent share, again, with small percentages for Filipinos and Native Americans. Details are shown in Table 8.
