Break into Goal Groups
Dennis
• Course completion = class not dropped; grade D or F okay
• Course success = class completed with a C or better
• Terrence explained disproportionate impact data, reference
groups, success rates, how to read the data in the draft plan, how
it was derived
Equity = fairness
Equality = sameness
Student Equity Plan is a 3-year cycle; don’t have to complete
everything now – better to have fewer things to do with more clarity.
