Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Next Steps
For the next several meetings, we will review and discuss a section of CUE's "Checklist for Sustaining Institution-Wide Racial Equity." This meeting, well look at section 1, "Racial Equity as a Priority." The goal is to build our capacity as a Council for reviewing College policies, programs, practices, and structural changes from a racial equity lens. Sarah Lehmann To facilitate building our capacity as a Council for reviewing College policies, CUE's "Checklist for Sustaining Institution-Wide Racial Equity" is being reviewed. Section 1, "Racial Equity as a Priority" was the topic of discussion. Feedback included the following: 1) prioritize who gets into HomeBases; 2) why does race matter?; 3) need contact with students; 4) practices should be more formalized, more intentional; 5) implement concrete actions: 6) recognize that there is a new generation of students; 6) consider the ability of students to get to campus.
We are finally returning to look at the Student Success Council Charter. Our current charter was for 2017-2020 and is in need of updating. We began discussing possible updates last semester. We will spend time during the next few meetings discussing the updates until we're happy with it. then we will ask the ELT to re-approve our charter for 2022-2025. Also, we've been asked to write a short summary/blurb about SCC to go in IGOR. Hopefully we can use the "Purpose" section from our charter to fulfill this request. Sarah Lehmann Feedback was received for the Student Success Council Charter. The roles and perspectives were revised and current members role's will be announced at the next meeting. One addition to the roles suggested was to include Counselors.
