UPDATES AND BRIEF REPORTS:
Topic	Person(s) Responsible	Notes
Council / Project Team Highlights from Written Reports	Council Leads / Co-Leads	Operations Council - District, using federal one-time funds, to purchase a laptop and docking station for all employees - Is laptop mandatory? - It will be a standard but will work with individuals - Computer lab laptops have all been assigned out to employees - Might laptop[s be available to some students (i.e., ASB President, etc) and those participating on Student Design Team who may be attending council meetings, etc. IEC - Had discussion with HomeBase coaches regarding evaluating effectiveness - Council listened to discussions about their experiences
Constituency Group Highlights from Written Reports	Constituency Group Leaders
Update on Reopening Plans	Melanie Dixon / Frank Kobayashi	- Instructional offerings confirmed - Work on-going relative to student services - Need to review and perhaps upgrade signage on campus as programs may have moved - Still some faculty interested in offering on-ground or hybrid classes whose programs didn't make the "difficult to convert" list - Enrollment for on-campus classes is lagging initially - Do we know why they're not enrolling in face-to-face classes - Again, lots of questions without all the answers

Approval of April 5, 2021 Notes	Melanie Dixon	5	Thmbs up
What are the key findings and primary recommendations of the LGBTQIA+ Project Team Report as contained in the "Exploring Disproportionate Impact: LGBTQIA+." What do you see as the most significant implications associated with these recommendations? (First Reading) (3:00 pm)	Roger Davidson	0	- Roger presented - Roger and Emilie were co-leads for project team - Commendations to both for their stewardship and work - Members of LBGTQIA+ community are not always known - ARC had one of the first PRIDE Centers not only in the state but in the country - Only opportunity to self identify in institutional is CCCApply and only if 18 years of age; no way to update that information after the fact - Mira Costa College now does an update to their system every semester including sexual orientation/gender identity - Recommendations: improve data collection regarding LBGTQIA+ status; adopt a trickle up approach that expects those in positions of power to shift thinking around policy making; engage and/or assign a culturally competent mental health professional and basic needs programming to assist LGBTQIA+ students; create an inclusive classroom environment and curriculum LGBTQIA+ students; strengthen the organizational structure to better coordinate efforts (focus on intersectionality); increase counseling support through the Pride Center; increase accountability related to hate and bias incidents; commit to training specific to gender identify and intersectional identifies (i.e., perhaps a series of trainings or tie into district training); work intentionally to reduce process barriers that inhibit employee efforts; address restroom, locker room and showering facilities on our campus to ensure equitable access and safety for all our students - Received complete and unanimous support at Academic Senate - Will engage in offline discussion regarding Mira Costa system of routinely collecting/updating student data - Commendations for the personal toll this type of work takes on the team leaders/members
What are the key findings and primary recommendations of the Disproportionate Impact API Project Team Report as contained in the "Exploring Disproportionate Impact: LGBTQIA+." What do you see as the most significant implications associated with these recommendations? (First Reading) (3:30 pm)	Raquel Arata / Neue Leung	Raquel / Neue presented 1st / 2nd readings in Academic and Classified senates and SSC Kudos to Raquel and Neue for leadership and work accomplished	- Raquel & Neue presented - 1st & 2nd readings completed in Academic / Classified senates and SSC - Kudos to Raquel and Neue for leadership and work - Student Experience Survey indicated that API (non-DI) students had an overall satisfactory experience at ARC - API-DI students had a less satisfactory experience - Recommendations: further disaggregating data; build upon promising practices within PRISE; culturally relevant and responsive instructional strategies; outreach & support strategies; more research on insights from API Student Experience Survey; increase API representation and role models; professional development for faculty, staff and student relative to anti-hate API sentiment - Team noted a desire to continue the research and dialog - Some difficulty and complexity in disaggregating data and appreciation to Neue and Raquel for working with research team - Academic Senate unanimously supported the work of the project team - Very powerful report with impactful work - When discussing culturally relevant and responsive are you talking both curriculum piece and pedagogy; yes
Does ELT approve the proposed changes to the perspectives of the Student Success Council?	Sarah Lehmann		- Presented by Frank and Sarah - Some perspectives were no longer relevant (i.e., Basic Skills, SSSP, etc.) - Moved from 20 to 25 positions - More classified professionals, two more faculty, and one individual from any job category - Expanding focus on equity and expertise with DI students; still need to define "expertise" - Is there a specific reason the VPI heads SSC and not the VPSS? - Modeled after Achieving the Dream; VPI also oversaw the reporting of the reports on programs (i.e., basic needs, etc.); was also a balance of workload at the time the council was developed - How does Academic and Classified senate define "expertise"; will need some collaboration between the two so not all appointments come from one area/division - Academic Senate would likely look at coordinators assigned to PRISE program, PRIDE center, UMOJA, etc. - Faculty might look at who on the council is representing me and how will I hear what is going on? Adds another layer of complexity - Classified Senate might look to members of advisory groups - Thought from SSC was asking individuals to write a note of interest - Thumbs up
