Lee said the school’s federal grant, about $300,000 a year, supports his salary, the salary of up to three part-time counselors and various expenses for events.

Its hard-scrabble reputation was depicted in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXRJL52ZD8\">2020 Netflix documentary\u003c/a> Last Chance U, which profiled Laney College football players and the issues they faced in addition to their sport — including hunger and caring for their kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laney College uses all of its minority-serving institution grant funding for the Asian Pacific American Student Success center. Colleges are typically only eligible for one of these grants, even when it may have numerous communities that need support. Though the center is focused on Asian students, anyone is technically welcome to the services it provides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center is what kept Narmandakh Suurinburneebaatar in school. After moving from Mongolia to Oakland in 2008, she spent years knowing just a few words of English. When she enrolled in an English-language learning course at Laney College in 2013, she wasn’t aware of the Asian student center. She was nervous at the time and struggled to talk with other students and teachers, she said. She dropped out before the end of the semester. She also enrolled in 2016 but dropped out again after the first semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure>\n\u003cfigure>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In 2022, Laney College offered free classes in light of the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2023/09/community-college-enrollment-3/#:~:text=At%20its%20lowest%20point%20following%20the%20start%20of%20the%20pandemic%2C%20the%20California%20Community%20Colleges%20system%20had%20lost%20just%20over%20417%2C000%20students%2C%20an%2018.5%25%20drop%C2%A0%20compared%20to%20the%202018%2D19%20academic%20year.\">decline in student enrollment \u003c/a>during the COVID-19 pandemic. Suurinburneebaatar’s son had also started moving through the Oakland school system, and she wanted to communicate with his teachers. She re-enrolled again, but this time, a representative from the Asian student center came to her English class, offering interpretation services for Mongolian speakers. It changed her entire trajectory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1023px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/091225_Laney-College_MO_CM_10-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1023\" height=\"682\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">According to Director David Lee, many of the students who work part time at the Asian Pacific American Student Success center are immigrant single mothers.

The federal grant is awarded on a five-year cycle and Laney College’s final year was scheduled to end this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the college applied again for another five-year grant, and has received the grant for the past 15 years, successfully navigating three different grant cycles, it’s a competitive process and the money is \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2024/05/hispanic-serving-institutions-programs-funding/\">never guaranteed\u003c/a>.

An \u003ca href=\"https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/southwesterncollege/viz/EnrollmentandCourseOutcomesDashboard/EnrollmentandCourseOutcomesDashboard\">evaluation\u003c/a> conducted by the school found that students who participated in the grant-funded learning community were far more likely to stay in school, to graduate and to transfer to a four-year institution, said President Mark Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because minority-serving institutions have wide discretion as to how they use federal money, evaluating the efficacy of the entire program — including hundreds of institutions and thousands of programs — is tough, said Marcela Cuellar, a professor at UC Davis. Some programs are\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/college-beat/2022/11/hispanic-serving-institutions-california/\"> a mixed bag\u003c/a> in terms of results. Nonetheless, Cuellar pointed to a few studies that show the grants’ broad-reaching impact on increasing students’ retention, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ifo.de/en/cesifo/publications/2024/working-paper/impact-developing-hispanic-serving-institution-program-college\">reducing their debt\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1538192718801792\">improving graduation rates\u003c/a>. She said the new cuts are “heartbreaking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at both the community college system and the University of California system agreed with Cuellar, saying the cuts were concerning or troubling, according to their respective spokespeople. A spokesperson for the Cal State University system said it was too early to comment on the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using state funds, which currently represent about a quarter of the center’s annual budget, Espinoza said in her email to faculty that Laney College will replace Lee’s full-time position with a part-time faculty role next year. She also said the college will offer each student worker another campus job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee has already offered Suurinburneebaatar a different campus job, but she said no.

Its enrollment is almost equally divided among Latino, Asian, Black and white students. The school is \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2025/06/california-bay-area-community-colleges-funding-formula/\">struggling financially\u003c/a> under the state’s new community college funding formula, potentially requiring it to merge with another local college in the coming years. Its hard-scrabble reputation was depicted in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXRJL52ZD8\">2020 Netflix documentary\u003c/a> Last Chance U, which profiled Laney College football players and the issues they faced in addition to their sport — including hunger and caring for their kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laney College uses all of its minority-serving institution grant funding for the Asian Pacific American Student Success center. Colleges are typically only eligible for one of these grants, even when it may have numerous communities that need support. Though the center is focused on Asian students, anyone is technically welcome to the services it provides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center is what kept Narmandakh Suurinburneebaatar in school. After moving from Mongolia to Oakland in 2008, she spent years knowing just a few words of English. When she enrolled in an English-language learning course at Laney College in 2013, she wasn’t aware of the Asian student center. She was nervous at the time and struggled to talk with other students and teachers, she said. She dropped out before the end of the semester. She also enrolled in 2016 but dropped out again after the first semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure>\n\u003cfigure>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In 2022, Laney College offered free classes in light of the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2023/09/community-college-enrollment-3/#:~:text=At%20its%20lowest%20point%20following%20the%20start%20of%20the%20pandemic%2C%20the%20California%20Community%20Colleges%20system%20had%20lost%20just%20over%20417%2C000%20students%2C%20an%2018.5%25%20drop%C2%A0%20compared%20to%20the%202018%2D19%20academic%20year.\">decline in student enrollment \u003c/a>during the COVID-19 pandemic. Suurinburneebaatar’s son had also started moving through the Oakland school system, and she wanted to communicate with his teachers. She re-enrolled again, but this time, a representative from the Asian student center came to her English class, offering interpretation services for Mongolian speakers. It changed her entire trajectory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1023px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/091225_Laney-College_MO_CM_10-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1023\" height=\"682\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">According to Director David Lee, many of the students who work part time at the Asian Pacific American Student Success center are immigrant single mothers.

Now Mongolian students from other colleges come to Laney because of its support services, and Suurinburneebaatar works part time at the Asian student center, tutoring others.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Proven success\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Asian center has never been financially secure, even before the Trump administration’s support for minority-serving institutions began to wane. The federal grant is awarded on a five-year cycle and Laney College’s final year was scheduled to end this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the college applied again for another five-year grant, and has received the grant for the past 15 years, successfully navigating three different grant cycles, it’s a competitive process and the money is \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2024/05/hispanic-serving-institutions-programs-funding/\">never guaranteed\u003c/a>. To receive the money repeatedly, schools need to prove their programs are successful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2019, Lee co-published \u003ca href=\"https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/15210251221134686\">a study\u003c/a> that looked at how counseling for English-language learners affected their performance.

An \u003ca href=\"https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/southwesterncollege/viz/EnrollmentandCourseOutcomesDashboard/EnrollmentandCourseOutcomesDashboard\">evaluation\u003c/a> conducted by the school found that students who participated in the grant-funded learning community were far more likely to stay in school, to graduate and to transfer to a four-year institution, said President Mark Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because minority-serving institutions have wide discretion as to how they use federal money, evaluating the efficacy of the entire program — including hundreds of institutions and thousands of programs — is tough, said Marcela Cuellar, a professor at UC Davis. Some programs are\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/college-beat/2022/11/hispanic-serving-institutions-california/\"> a mixed bag\u003c/a> in terms of results. Nonetheless, Cuellar pointed to a few studies that show the grants’ broad-reaching impact on increasing students’ retention, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ifo.de/en/cesifo/publications/2024/working-paper/impact-developing-hispanic-serving-institution-program-college\">reducing their debt\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1538192718801792\">improving graduation rates\u003c/a>. She said the new cuts are “heartbreaking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at both the community college system and the University of California system agreed with Cuellar, saying the cuts were concerning or troubling, according to their respective spokespeople. A spokesperson for the Cal State University system said it was too early to comment on the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using state funds, which currently represent about a quarter of the center’s annual budget, Espinoza said in her email to faculty that Laney College will replace Lee’s full-time position with a part-time faculty role next year. She also said the college will offer each student worker another campus job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee has already offered Suurinburneebaatar a different campus job, but she said no. She’s taking five classes this semester in pursuit of a goal — to graduate this spring with an associate degree in business administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/09/minority-student-funding-california/\">originally published on CalMatters\u003c/a> and was republished under the \u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives\u003c/a> license.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
