Based on executive summary and the budget
Application process has tightened up and changed things
We are further along and closer to discussing goals for Cabrillo
Director of Student Equity and Success position:
- If we don’t have the right person, it won’t work well
- FS needs to have a voice in this matter
- Job description is posted on the HR website
- Concern about only a small number of people crafting the job description
- Nothing has been approved by the Board as yet
- We can put this on next Equity Committee meeting agenda
- Are there FS members who would be able to attend next Equity Committee meeting on Friday 2:30-4:30 p.m.?
• Better to have a discussion about the larger issues and then have a subcommittee to go over the details
