The Mission of ILACHE

To promote understanding and to advocate on behalf of the needs of the Illinois Latino population as they pertain to higher education

To provide a statewide forum for Latino and non-Latino educators and community persons with a professional and/or personal commitment to Latino issues in higher education.

Why is a Latino Higher Education Agenda Needed?

Nationally, in 1998 only 11% of Latinos had completed four years of college or more.

In 1999, only 10% of Latinos in the state of Illinois were enrolled in a college or university.

In 1999, 14% of Latinos in the state of Illinois were enrolled in a community college.

In 1996, less than 3% of all full-time college faculty were Latino, while Latinos received only 3.5% of all doctorates awarded that year.

Latinos continue to be over-enrolled in community colleges with only a fraction transferring and graduating from baccalaureate programs.

The lack of financial aid discourages Latinos from attending college and increases the economic burden of those who do.

Latinos are the fastest growing population. The 2000 census figures show this.

Latino population growth at 58%, accounting for 35.3% of the total population.

Latinos have grown 41.1% in the state of Illinois.
