DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Question Person(s) Responsible Time Allotted
Course Success – OER versus Non-OER BJ Snowden 15 min.
Elevator Issues: The Academic Senate shared information about students that have been trapped in the STEM elevator. The library has had similar issues over the years. Are there stair chairs in the STEM building? Have staff and faculty been trained to use them? Is it time for us to look for a new elevator vendor? Given our shaky track record with elevator reliability on campus, should the Operations Council recommend we implement a policy that all buildings with more than one floor need at least two elevators? 15 min.
Bringing a discussion item from SSC to Improve inclusiveness of students with disabilities The items pointed out by students with disabilities were: - Elevators in the STEM building are unreliable - Doors that are too heavy, without push controls - Carts on campus that are asked for a ride and are denied (they may need signage for students to understand their purpose) - Disability Parking areas with signage/maps to other nearby areas to utilize 15 min.

OTHER INFORMATION: **Important Message from the Los Rios Police Department** The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the “Clery Act” for short) is the landmark federal law that requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime that occurs on and around their campuses. An important component of the Clery Act requires colleges and universities to publish a report every year, by October 1, that contains three years’ worth of campus crime statistics and certain security policy statements. Those statements include: sexual assault policies that assure basic victims' rights; the law enforcement authority of campus police; and where students should go to report crimes. In compliance with the Clery Act, the Los Rios District's 2023 Annual Clery Report is now available on the Los Rios Police Department’s website. The report covers: American River College and its Mather, Natomas and McClellan (SRPSTC) centers; Cosumnes River College and its Elk Grove Center; Folsom Lake College and its El Dorado and Rancho Cordova centers; and Sacramento City College and its Davis and West Sacramento centers. The crime statistics contained in the 2023 Annual Clery Report represent the previous three-year period (2020-2022). The direct link to that report is: https://police.losrios.edu/clery You can also pick up a copy of the report at any of the Los Rios Police Department offices. If you have any questions, please contact Valerie Cox directly at Valerie.cox@losrios.edu or (916) 286-3649
