DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Next Steps
What are the key findings and primary recommendations of the Strategic Enrollment Management Project Team as contained in the "Schedule Development Guidelines." What do you see as the most significant implications associated with these recommendations? (First Reading) Team Leads - Kale Braden & Dyne Eifertsen presented
- appreciation for the leadership and work accomplished by the team
- report captures where we’ve been, where we are right now, and where we want to go
- tied into college mission and values in the work of scheduling
- currently going through Academic Senate readings as well
- recommend using our commitment to social justice opposed to values

What are the key findings, primary recommendations of the Professional Development Project Team as contained in the "Professional Development Project Team Report." What do you see as the most significant implications associated with these recommendations? (First Reading) Team Leads - Alisa Shubb presented
- includes alignment with institutional equity plan throughout the report

- looking for use of physical space while also acknowledging the use of virtual technology
- acknowledgement for the team’s work
- question: any discussion in priorities among coordinators
- creative opportunities exist to accomplish the report’s goals

What is the purpose and importance associated with placing local Native nations tribal flags along the grey border in the cafeteria? (Attachment) Thomas Greene and Guest (Jesus) - Jesus Valle presented
- serves as one tangible way the land statement becomes operationalized
- one step beyond perhaps a native garden
- allows interdisciplinary interaction to happen
- directly linked to recommendations and outcomes from DI report
- serves as a healing component
- ARC leads district in Native American recognition
- appreciation for Jesus’ leadership and collaboration and guidance
- display in cafeteria will be accessible to many on campus
- suggestion: perhaps have a theme throughout the Student Center and include a display in the Board Room
- looking to use our print shop to create a plaque acknowledging land statement and posting them around campus
- UAIC (United Auburn Indian Community) receives mitigation from developers and they in turn find a use for those funds in the community; perhaps ARC could be a recipient of those funds
- once out of remote operations, discussions about building out Native American recognition on campus will continue

What is the purpose and importance associated with the Operations Council's recommendations associated with the use of "ARC-All On Exchange" and other employee email distribution lists? (Attachment) Scott Crow - not trying to limit the promotion of campus events, etc., but want to provide some structure
- beginning discussion focused on guidelines and suggestions; over time discussion changed to providing procedures
-working with District to maintain and update the everyone-on-exchange lists
- perhaps include the above effort in the statement
- make certain that accessibility is a focus – no special programs needed to open attachments, etc.
- this is considered its first reading
- don’t want a perception that we’re taking something away while in remote operations; should be shared with all constituency groups, etc. as an information item

ITEMS FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION:

What are the general principles that we will be using to achieve our budget reduction targets? How do these same principles apply to how we continue to redesign the college in light of COVID-19? Thomas Greene
