Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Decision(s) Next Steps
What is the new plan and timeline for the Student Resource Panel listening sessions? Alejandra, Bee, Mario, Corey and Sara 70
-We discussed the need to take the time to get the survey and listening sessions right, as our DI student voices need to be heard.
-We will clean up the report over the winter break.
-We will complete the sessions in January and compile this section in February.
-We will meet through late February to continue meeting to go over our work and process.
-There may need to be more than one session to accommodate the needs of the specific groups we are asking to participate.
-The home environment (where a computer is) may not be suitable for all participants if they have not come out. We will be looking at all methods of inclusion in these discussions.
       
DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Next Steps
What was the process of choosing team members for the LGBTQIA+ Team? Roger, Emilie -Our lead discussed the process of choosing team leads. That the overseeing council (Student Success Council) and ELT choose an Admin and a faculty member with knowledge of the needs of this DI group. These leads brought together voices from manager, faculty, and classified groups that had worked with or belonged to this DI group.
     
ITEMS FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION:
Topic Contact Person
There was a lengthy discussion concerning inclusivity, especially as it relates to intersectionality. We will be adding a section in our recommendations that addresses this need and hope to break down the barriers between this and other DI groups. We discussed the need to break down the silos of our work, and instead build bridges, particularly students from the QTBIPOC intersectionality.
