Outcomes
Chancellor’s Office will have a group of 15-20 people reading all Student Equity
Plans and providing feedback whether the plan is on target or not. Plan
suggestion: do things well, don’t try to do too much.
The template will be revised by next September; next plans (updates) are due
in December.
The legislature is requesting progress – wants indicators measured.
Joseph stated equity equals leverage as someday the funding will run out; we
should start conversations and actions to permeate functions. He asked the
group to state which committees they serve on, which demonstrated how
members of the Student Equity committee are connected with the rest of the
campus.
