Bayinaah Jones, Executive Director of Research & Institutional Effectiveness
Have you ever wondered about the difference between equality and equity? If so, you will find the research interests of San José/Evergreen Community College District’s Executive Director of Research & Institutional Effectiveness appealing. “In my work, I operationally define equality with access to our Community Colleges and equity with rates of persistence and retention. Evidence suggests we have a complex set of circumstances to unravel—rates of persistence and retention drastically differ by ethnicity, class and migration backgrounds.”
Ten years of teaching experience with students from kindergarten through graduate school in places as ethnically and economically diverse as East Palo Alto and Atherton, California; Hayneville, Alabama and Northern Europe, Dr. Jones closely examines education as a cultural practice with varied outcomes for disadvantaged students.
A Bay Area native, she uses her training in American Studies, pedagogy, sociology, culture, curriculum and anthropology to design studies and to collect and analyze data trends. Under Dr. Jones’ direction and with the new accountability charges coming from the state, the Office of Research and Institutional Effectiveness is creating a data-driven decision-making culture, which is heavily influenced by Critical Race Theory.

Ruth Villaseñor, District Curriculum Coordinator
Have you ever wondered how curriculum is processed at the District and State level in order that students can register for classes on time? If so, chances are Ruth Villaseñor has the answers. As the District Curriculum Coordinator for the San José/Evergreen Community College District, Ruth strives to provide specialized and technical support to the development, approval, and implementation of curriculum for both San José City College and Evergreen Valley College.
Ruth began working for the District over twenty years ago in what was to be only a temporary job. She decided to stay because she enjoyed the campus community environment and the rewarding feeling of helping students. A combination of Ruth’s experience and knowledge of the guidelines and procedures used in curriculum make her our lead resource for the District. She continues to sharpen her skills by taking classes and keeping current on new technologies in order to provide quality support to the colleges and the District.
“It is a rewarding feeling to know that in some way I have contributed to the success of our students. I am pleased I made the decision to stay with the District and will continue to do my best to support our college students so they can reach their goals.”
