Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Next Steps
Re-Opening Plan Frank Kobayashi - Started with impossible to convert at the start of the semester - went well
- Next went with difficult to convert (science labs, etc.) - went well
- February 22 remainder of scheduled face-to-face will return to campus
- Enrollment is down across the district (ARC down approximately 8.5%)
- Every day is a new adventure
- Students are very appreciative of being able to be in the classroom
- With the third wave coming up, any targeted communication to those faculty about what to do and not to do, etc?
- Will put together a guidance document and push it through the deans for distribution
- Provide information about food, coffee, etc.
- Are we going to have folks around campus on the 22nd who can answer questions of students (i.e., where are services located, restrooms, etc.)
- All services and hours will be published prior to the 22nd
- Welcome tables will be around campus with volunteers
- Is there a dashboard with student vaccination status
Accreditation Frank Kobayashi / Bill Simpson - ARC's ALO (Accreditation Liaison Officer) is now Frank Kobayashi
- Bill Simpson is Faculty Co-Chair
- ISER submitted to ACCJC in December
- ISER team has been formulated
- Team has read our ISER
- Week of February 14 is deadline for the team to make requests of the college for further information (one week turnaround)
- February 17 will be Accreditation Open Forum
- Campus community has that opportunity to share any information with the team
- End of February will receive information from ISER team on those areas (core inquiries) they wish to further explore
- Campus visit is scheduled for October 10
- Received good initial response from ISER team chair
- Executive team will not be present at the Open Forum
Strategic Plan (Including Updates to Institutional Equity Plan and Professional Development Plan) Melanie Dixon / BJ Snowden - Reviewed Educational Master Plan, DI reports, PD Plan, etc.
- Looking to document the work accomplished through these plans to affirm our strategic plans
- Working to develop detailed timeline
- Will be working with councils

Personnel Updates Melanie Dixon - An interim dean overseeing research is currently in the recruitment/hiring process

- Permanent position will be advertised in Fl22 for a Sp23 start date
- Also looking to add a researcher position
- All in efforts to build capacity to provide actionable data
- ITC, CTL and research will all be located in one space
Nongendered/single-stall restrooms signage Cheryl Sears - September 2016, AB1732 required signage for single stall restrooms
- Symbol was triangle superimposed over a circle
- In 2018, DAS (State Architect) mandated signage
- A year later, temporary signage with additional language were posted by staff
- Temporary signage removed as a result of student concerns
- With a majority of buildings on campus still locked, access to single staff restrooms remains a challenge
- Questions coming forward again about additional signage and providing restroom access in Davies Hall
- What is the need of students? Our good intentions may not meet the needs and interests of our students
- Interest in gathering more information from our students
- Thinking about venue of further discussion about removing "faculty only" restrooms
- No mechanism to get feedback from our students either
- Next step is to have a discussion about how to get input from the students
- Any projected time when the consultant's report will be ready
- A few more eyes at the DO need to review it prior to dissemination
