Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Next Steps
Should we add a recommendation to allow students to update their SOGI data after becoming a student at ARC? Roger Davidson -CCC Apply has some issues with inclusivity that stem from protecting identities.
-We want there to be a way to get more information post application so we can reach out to those students in need.
-We want the students to be able to update their SOGI data or other information after enrollment, or after they reach adulthood.
     
ITEMS FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION:
Topic Contact Person
It has been expressed by some team members, that there exists frustration and anger that the timeline and processes we have been using have not allowed for the inclusion of student voices of the most impacted members of the community. Additionally, those who have been most responsible for the work of including these voices, are also the most impacted by these timelines. The timeline and our process has not valued their knowledge, expertise, and experience. It is incumbent upon the rest of us, as white people to continue to critically evaluate the role that each of us plays in perpetuating the system of white supremacy. To ensure that our actions as leaders, colleagues, educators, and practitioners reflect our expressed rhetoric of inclusion and race consciousness. Roger, Emilie
