Reports
• Chabot College Foundation (Heidi Finberg)
The Chabot College Foundation will be focusing on starting a
textbook rental program for students. The majority of the
foundation’s funding activities will be focused on supporting this
college-wide initiative.
• Accreditation Report (Chad Mark Glen)
See attached report.
• Budget Committee Report (Yvonne Wu Craig)
IPBC co-chairs attended two Budget Committee meetings where
they participated in funding fall allocation requests that were
submitted with the Unit Plans. Budget Committee is continuing
this activity in September and will issue a report to the college.
Discussion/Decision Items
• Community Input Forums (Carolyn Arnold)
Carolyn Arnold will be coordinating efforts to hold Community
Input forums in late October. She presented her proposal of the
topics to be covered during the forums. These forums will focus
on gathering community input about how Chabot is doing in
meeting the community’s educational needs. IPBC members
provided feedback and input about her proposal. One members
suggested also asking about what business/employer needs are as
an opportunity to build stronger partnerships.

• College Planning Timeline
Yvonne presented the annual planning timeline that indicated benchmarks for
planning.
• Evaluation of college planning processes
IPBC members participated in an activity evaluating planning processes in the
college. This activity was a follow-up on previous spring discussions. Committee
members noted that although there were strong planning processes in place across
the college such as the unit planning process and increased coordination with the
Budget Committee and other college governance committees, there were some
processes and linkages that could be made stronger.
