o Need to think of backside/admin. work involved and support needed (PAF’s, requisitions, budget transfers,
disbursements, invoices, quotes, etc.)
o Central coordination functions, monitoring budgets, timesheets, policies, plans, outcomes
o Proposals are both targeted and some more systemic
o Commonalities: tutors, marketing, outreach, support
o In non-profit world, ex. 10% admin. indirect costs
o Still think campus needs to better understand equity; not just funding
o Equity conversation needs to be continuous, reading, studying, etc.
o Equity Coor./Director For example off the top + admin. Assist.
o Pathways about alignment of programs
o MESA not institutionalized; a lot of equity things need to be institutionalized
o Admin. Is more like 20-30% - Administrator and Administrative Assistant
o Could/need to aggregate coor./admin. Functions
