DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Question	Person(s) Responsible	Notes and Next Steps
What ideas does the Council have regarding the opportunities and obstacles associated with an institution-wide adoption of the ARC Equitable Decision-making Tool?	Adam Karp and Others	Nick shared this tool and the documentation behind it with this group, he worked diligently with PES and Cheri Jones to compile the data and give ARC a framework for making more equitable choices at all times.
What progress has the college made in the implementation of the adopted recommendations contained within the Institutional Equity and DI Project Team Plans since adoption in May 2020? How are these aligned with the active and/or proposed strategies associated with the two districtwide goals of closing the opportunity gap in course success and achieve a course success rate of 73%; and the gap associated with throughput in transfer-level Math and English Writing 300? How do we approach the scaled adoption of those specific strategies/actions that hold the greatest opportunity for broad, positive impact on these targets/goals?	Adam Karp and Others	As we have two more DI teams this year, we discussed the progress on realizing the recommendations of our previous DI and Equity teams. Many felt that there is a disconnect between what was prescribed and the outcome.
