About EOPS
EOPS was developed in the 1960's to address the lack of educational equity for minority students in the public school system and in higher education. This was in response to the activism of minority high school and college students, parents, and community leaders. After much turmoil State Assemblyman Alfred Alquis, from San Jose, authored Assembly Bill 164 which established state funding to develop programs that would provide community college access to disadvantaged students.
Today, EOPS provides assistance to a broader and more diverse student population to facilitate the successful completion of their goals and objectives in 114 community colleges. For over 30 years, the program has continued to encourage the enrollment, retention and transfer of students disadvantaged by language, social, economic and educational circumstances.
