[3.05 Ratification of Change Order No. 5 [Design Errors and Omissions], (Bid No. 17P012, Category 04), T&M Manufacturing, Inc., Performing Arts Center]

SO ITEM 3.05, RATIFICATION OF CHANGE ORDER NUMBER FIVE DESIGN ERRORS IN ADMISSIONS.

NUMBER 17 P02 CATEGORY 04.

TNM MANUFACTURING IN PRORATED ON THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.

>> WE WILL CALL VICE PRESIDENT LOPEZ TO HELP US WITH THIS ITEM, PLEASE.

>> YES, THANK YOU.

I HAD JIMMY HERE TO ASSIST ON THIS ITEM REGARDING THE CHANGE ORDER WE HAVE HERE FOR APPROVAL.

>> CERTAINLY.

THIS CHANGE ORDER, AS YOU MAY SEE, THIS PARTICULAR CHANGE ORDER AMOUNT TAKES THEIR CONTRACT TO 9.99 PERCENT CHANGE ORDERS, WHICH IS AT THE LIMIT ALLOWED BY THE PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE OF 10 PERCENT FOR A CONTRACT.

WITH THE MULTI-PRIME DELIVERY METHOD, IF THIS WAS ONE GENERAL CONTRACT FOR A $75 MILLION PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, THE 10 PERCENT LIMIT WOULD ALLOW YOU CHANGE

[01:05:02]

ORDERS UP TO 7 1/2 MILLION OF THAT ONE GENERAL CONTRACT.

BUT BECAUSE THIS IS CUT UP INTO 28 PRIME OR TRADE CONTRACTS, THIS ONE CONTRACT IS FOR THE STEEL CONTRACTOR.

THE STEEL IS ESSENTIALLY COMPLETE NOW.

THE LAST STAIRCASE I SAW BEING INSTALLED THIS LAST WEEK WITH THE STEEL STRUCTURE.

IT'S VERY COMPLEX.

THIS CHANGE ORDER IN PARTICULAR IS FOR A DESIGN AIR AND ADMISSION.

AS TRUSTEE PRESIDENT BIRKEY NOTED, IT IS A VERY CHALLENGING SCOPE OF WORK.

AS YOU CAN SEE WITH A 9.99 PERCENT, THAT SPEAKS TO THAT CHALLENGE IT HOWEVER, THE PROJECT AS A WHOLE IS CURRENTLY AT 3.1 PERCENT CHANGE ORDERS TO DATE.

SO IN VERY GOOD HEALTH.

IT IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE 2.9 PERCENT CHANGE ORDER AVERAGE I MENTIONED EARLIER.

BUT FOR THE SCALE OF A PROJECT AS COMPLEX AS IT IS, FINANCIALLY IT IS DOING VERY WELL.

IS THERE ANY QUESTION PARTICULAR OR DID I COVER IT WITH THE PERCENTAGE?

>> YES, YOU COVERED IT.

I JUST WANTED TO SEE SINCE WE WERE SO CLOSE TO THE 10 PERCENT WHAT THE PLAN WAS MOVING FORWARD TO MANAGE IT.

IT SEEMS LIKE THE SCOPE OF WORK IS DONE.

IT IS A LOT OF STEEL.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

>> THANK YOU.

AND THIS IS THE LAST CHANGE ORDER FOR THIS CONTRACT SO IT WILL NOT GO OVER 10 PERCENT.

THANK YOU AGAIN.

>> SOUP MOVED MOTION TO APPROVE.

>>JAMES CODY BIRKEY : CAN I GET A SECOND?

>> SECOND.

>>JAMES CODY BIRKEY : ROLL CALL VOTE?

>> STUDENT TRUSTEE WALLACE.

>>JAMES CODY BIRKEY : WE WILL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 3.18, RESOLUTION NUMBER 21

[3.18 Resolution No. 21-0106D Entitled “Authorizing and Approving the Borrow Funds for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 and the Issuance and Sale of a 2020-2021 Tax Revenue Anticipation Note in an Amount Not To Exceed $28 Million]

Â" 01 06D, AND TITLE OF THE RISING IMPROVING THE BORROW FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020 /2021 AND THE ISSUANCE OF A 2020 THROUGH 2021 TAX REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTE IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $28 MILLION.

CAN WE GET A SHORT PRESENTATION ON THIS.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

GO AHEAD.

>> THANK YOU BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THIS ITEM.

AS EVERYONE KNOWS OR EVERYONE IS AWARE OF, THE 2021 ENACTED BUDGET INCLUDED OVER $1 BILLION WORTH OF DEFERRALS TO THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE SECTOR.

IN PARTICULAR, SARID IS COLLEGE THAT ESTIMATED ABOUT $34 MILLION WORTH OF DEFERRALS THAT BEGIN IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY.

AND SO TO GIVE YOU AN ANALYSIS, I HAVE PREPARED A WORKSHEET TO MORE ILLUSTRATE THE EFFECTS OF WHAT THE DEFERRALS WOULD BE.

HOW THAT AFFECTS US FINANCIALLY.

GOING TO BRING IT UP REAL QUICK.

RIGHT.

SO THIS CASH FLOW ILLUSTRATES ENDING CASH AT THE END OF EACH PARTICULAR MONTH.

AND SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2021 WE WERE VERY STRONG.

BUT COME IN DECEMBER WHEN THE DEFERRALS START HITTING, YOU CAN SEE OUR CASH IS

[01:10:06]

STARTING TO DEPLETE.

ACCORDING TO OUR PROJECTIONS WE WOULD GO NEGATIVE IN THE MONTH OF APRIL.

THE WAY IT WORKS.

BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO CROSS FISCAL YEARS.

SO BASED ON WHAT WE ARE SEEING FROM THE STATE RIGHT NOW, THE DEFERRALS ARE LOOKING TO POTENTIALLY BE NEARLY PAID BACK.

BUT NOT UNTIL THE YEAR 21/22.

SO WE ARE ABLE TO BORROW UP TO WHAT OUR CASH DEFICIT IS AS A JUNE 30TH.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE IT IS A TOTAL OF 21 $0.7 MILLION.

WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO ADD IN WHAT THEY CALL WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE, WHICH I BELIEVE IS FIVE PERCENT OF YOUR TOTAL EXPENDITURES FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

AND SO YOU TAKE 21.6 AND AT ANOTHER 6.2,000,002 IT.

THE TOTAL SIZE ALLOWABLE FOR ME IS $28 MILLION.

WHAT WE DO IS WE ROUNDED THIS.

THE CALCULATION COMES TO 27.9 AND WE ARE ALL THE RAISING UP TO $28 MILLION, WHICH IN THE RESOLUTION YOU SEE FOR YOU TODAY.

SO ONCE WE BORROW THIS WE ARE ABLE TO CASH FLOW OUR EXISTING EXPENSES FOR THE END OF THE YEAR.

AND THEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO PAY BACK ONCE THE DEFERRALS ARE PAID BACK FOR US.

SO WITHIN THE DOCUMENTS WILL BE A PAYMENT SCHEDULE, WHICH WOULD ALIGN WITH THE STATE DEFERRAL PAYMENTS BACK TO US.

SO FROM A BUDGET STANDPOINT, NOTHING REALLY IS EFFECTIVE.

OBVIOUSLY THE MONEY IS COMING TO US, BUT IT IS DEFERRED AS A LATER DATE.

WE HAVE TO BORROW CASH IN THE MEANTIME TO BE ABLE TO PAY CURRENT EXPENSES UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO BE MADE WHOLE OF THAT CASH.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE WON'T BE MADE WHOLE UNTIL AFTER STARTING IN JULY 2021.

THIS APPROVAL WILL ALLOW US TO AUTHORIZE HIM TO THE $28 MILLION.

>>JAMES CODY BIRKEY : ANY QUESTIONS FROM BOARD MEMBERS? I HAVE TWO QUICK ONES.

VICE PRESIDENT LOPEZ.

FIRST OF ALL, WHAT IS THE INTEREST RATE WE WOULD PAY ON THE 28 MILLION?

>> IT IS NOT A TRUE INTEREST RATE AS YOU WOULD SEE ON A TYPICAL LOAN FROM A BANK.

BECAUSE THIS BORROWING IS THROUGH WHAT THEY CALL A JPA POOL.

I THINK THE COST WE ARE ESTIMATING IS IT RANGES AROUND BETWEEN $50-$75,000, WHICH WOULD COST US FOR THE SHORT TERM BORROWING.

>>JAMES CODY BIRKEY : THANKS.

REAL ESTATE ASKED THAT QUESTION SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND THEN SECONDLY, WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL DEFERRAL BE ON JUNE 2021 PROJECTION?

>> BASED ON THE BUDGET WORKSHOP I PARTICIPATED IN TODAY, THAT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE AWARE, BUT THE STATE CASH REVENUES ARE ACTUALLY COMING IN EXTREMELY HIGHER THAN WHAT IS ANTICIPATED.

AND THAT IS PRIMARILY ONE OF THE REASONS THEY ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PAY OR PAY DOWN THE ENTIRE WILL DEFERRAL MEANT IN ONE YEAR.

BACK IN THE GREAT RECESSION WHEN WE ARE GOING THROUGH DEFERRALS, IT TOOK AT LEAST SIX OR SEVEN YEARS TO BE ABLE TO PAY OFF THESE DEFERRALS WITH THE STATES CASH.

AND THESE ARE ACTUALLY FIRM NUMBERS THAT CAME IN THAT THE STATE WILL BE ABLE TO NEARLY PAID DOWN THE ENTIRE DEFERRAL IN YEAR ONE.

[01:15:02]

AND SO WE ARE CONFIDENT THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY CHANGES IN THIS.

WE ARE HOPING AND SUPPORTING THE ADMINISTRATION PAYING DOWN THE DEFERRALS FIRST BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING ELSE.

BASED ON INFORMATION WE GOT FROM THE GOVERNMENTS PROPOSAL, THAT LOOKS TO BE THE CASE.

OBVIOUSLY THINGS CAN CHANGE.

BUT WE ARE STILL HOPEFUL THIS MONEY WILL BE PAID TO US.

IN THE HISTORY OF THE DEFERRALS, IT IS BASICALLY A CASH FLOW NEED FOR THE STATE WILL BE ABLE TO REPAY Â" IT IS IN ACTIVE IN THE BUDGET AND I HAVEN'T SEEN IT WHERE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO PAY IT BACK.

I'M PRETTY CONFIDENT.

>> JUST FOR CLARITY IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN UNFORESEEN BETWEEN NOW AND JUNE AND WE WEREN'T REFUNDED THE MONEY, WHEN WE REACH OUT FOR AN ADDITIONAL? IS THAT WHAT INSTITUTION WOULD DO AND THAT SITUATION? WHAT IF FOR SOME ODD REASON WE WEREN'T ABLE, THERE'S A NUMBER OF MECHANISMS WE COULD TRY TO DO.

EITHER GO FOR ANOTHER TRAM.

WE COULD SUBMIT EMERGENCY BORROWING RESOLUTION WITH THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY OFFICE OF ED WOULD BE ABLE TO FUND US TEMPORARILY.

BUT THEY DO HAVE A CAP ON THE AMOUNT THAT THEY DO.

AND THERE IS ALSO A MECHANISM.

AND THERE'S AN EMERGENCY REQUEST OF FUNDS THROUGH THE STATE CHANCELLORS OFFICE AS WELL.

IS A COUPLE MECHANISM WE COULD DO IT FOR ANY PARTICULAR REASON WE RUN INTO THAT SITUATION.

BUT IF ALL FAILS, WE COULD ISSUE ANOTHER TRAM ON THE.

AND IF FOR SOME REASON THE STATE DID THAT, THERE WILL BE A NUMBER OF POOLS PARTICIPATING THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN?

>> THANK YOU VICE PRESIDENT LOPEZ.

DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE 3.1A?

>> MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> DO WE HAVE A SECOND?

>> SECOND.

>>JAMES CODY BIRKEY : ALL RIGHT.

CAN I GET A ROLL CALL VOTE?

>> TRUSTEE WALLACE?

>> AYE.

>> JUST DIABLOS? TRUSTEE BIRKEY.

AND I WILL CIRCLE BACK TO TRUSTEE AVALOS.

>> YES.

>> THANK YOU.

MOTION PASSES.

>> MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM 4.01.

[4. Information Items]

FIRST READING PROPOSED REVISION TO A BOARD POLICY 3245 FOR PRIOR LEARNING.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO GIVE A REPORT ON THIS ITEM?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THE BOARD POLICIES FOR A WHILE.

WE STILL NEED TO BE REVIEW AND YOU WILL SEE SOME OF THOSE COMING.

AS I SAID BEFORE, WE ARE HOPING TO CLOSE THE LOOP IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS AND EVERY POLICY WOULD HAVE BEEN REVIEWED.

WE HAVE A COUPLE WAYS IN WHICH WE REVIEW POLICIES.

LET ME GIVE YOU THE BACKGROUND.

THEY ARE UPDATES PROVIDED TO US THROUGH THE LEAGUE COMMUNITY COLLEGES.

AND AFTER THAT GOES THROUGH A PROCESS.

AND SO DOCTOR FLOWERS IS HERE WITH US THIS EVENING AND SHE HAS BEEN IN THIS PARTICULAR POLICY THROUGH THE PROCESS.

I'M GOING TO ASK HER TO GIVE US A VIEW OF THE PROCESS, WHERE WE ARE AND SOMETHING WE EXPECT THIS EVENING FROM YOU IS FEEDBACK ON ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE

[01:20:04]

INCLUDED.

THAT IS WHY IT IS THE FIRST READING SO WE STILL HAVE TIME FOR ANY COMMENTS TO BE INCLUDED PRIOR TO YOUR FINAL APPROVAL.

>> GOOD EVENING.

I WILL KEEP IT BRIEF BUT GIVE YOU CONTEXT AND OVERVIEW OF THE POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES.

THIS IS PRETTY MUCH A REVISION AND AN UPDATE OF AN EXISTING BOARD POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES.

BECAUSE OF CHANGES IN THE STATE LAW IN TITLE FIVE, WE ACTUALLY NEEDED TO UPDATE OUR EXISTING POLICY.

THE STATE REGULATIONS REQUIRED WE ACTUALLY LIST ALL THE METHODS BY WHICH WE OFFER CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING.

AND TO DESCRIBE THE PROCEDURES FOR AWARDING THE CREDIT FOR EACH OF THOSE METHODS.

CURRENTLY OUR BOARD POLICY ONLY ADDRESSED CREDIT BY EXAM, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY JUST OUR DISTRICT ADMINISTERED CREDIT BY EXAMINATION.

AS WELL AS AP EXAMS AND CLAP EXAMS. MIMI NO COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM EXAMS. IT DID NOT INCLUDE SOME OF THE OTHER WAYS WE HAVE AWARDED STUDENTS CREDIT OR OTHER WAYS WE COULD AWARD STUDENTS CREDIT.

WE WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DO A COUPLE OF THINGS WOULD INCREASE THE AXIS STUDENTS ACTUALLY HAVE TO RECEIVING COURSE CREDIT AS THEY PURSUE THEIR EDUCATIONAL GOALS.

ENTERS EQUITY, WE WANT TO PROMOTE EQUITY BY HONORING ANY PRIOR LEARNING THE STUDENTS HAVE HAD AS THEY CAN DEMONSTRATE IT IN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT WAYS, WHICH INCLUDE STUDENT PERFORMANCE OR PORTFOLIOS.

AND GIVES A LOT MORE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THAT CREDIT.

WE DID HAVE THE BENEFIT OF A COUPLE OF GUIDELINES FOR PUTTING TOGETHER THE REVISIONS OF THE POLICY AND PROCEDURES WE HAD THE LEAD TEMPLATES FOR THE LEAGUE DOES PUT OUT TEMPLATES WITH SOME SUGGESTED RECOMMENDED LANGUAGE OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES REQUIRED BY THE STATE.

WE ALSO HAD THE BENEFIT OF PALOMAR COLLEGE, WHO THEY REFUNDED TO ACTUALLY PILOT THE CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING.

MADE COME UP WITH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PROCEDURES THAT GO ALONG WITH THE POLICY THEY HAD WRITTEN.

WE PUT TOGETHER A COUPLE WORKGROUPS.

ONE THAT WOULD FOCUS ON REVISING THE EXISTING LANGUAGE WE HAD FOR THE POLICY AND PROCEDURES AND ONE GROUP THAT WOULD WORK ON DEVELOPING THE LANGUAGE THAT WOULD INCORPORATE OF THE METHODS OF CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING.

ONCE WE GOT THE FEEDBACK FROM EACH OF THE WORKGROUPS, COMPILED THAT AND THEN GOT FEEDBACK FROM THE COMBINED GROUP ON THE FINAL DOCUMENT.

SO WHAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE RESULT OF THE TWO WORKGROUPS.

I WANT TO TAKE JUST A MINUTE TO LET YOU KNOW HOW THE WORKGROUPS WERE COMPRISED.

WE DID THE INSTRUCTIONAL AND COUNSELING FACULTY THAT INCLUDED THE FACULTY SENATE PRESIDENT, THE CURRICULUM CHAIR.

AS WELL AS OUR OFFICE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD FOLKS WHO WOULD REALLY BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE PROCESS AS WELL AS TO THE IMPACT ANY OF THIS WOULD HAVE ON ANY FUTURE CURRICULUM AND SUCH.

WE ALSO HAD ACADEMIC SERVICES PARTICIPATING IN THE PROCESS, INCLUDING THE DEAN OF EQUITY.

AS WELL AS OUR DEAN OF ENROLLMENT SERVICES.

WE DID HAVE HER WORKING ON THAT AS WELL FOR INCLUDING OTHER STAFF ALLELES AT SONIA GONZALES FROM ANR BECAUSE WE DID ADD THE JOINT SERVICES EVALUATION.

SHE IS EXPERIENCE IN THAT AREA.

WE WANTED TO MAKE CERTAIN WE HAD A NUMBER OF FOLKS WHO WERE REPRESENTING DIFFERENT AREAS SO WE COULD INFORM THE PROCESS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

I WILL STOP THERE IN TERMS OF TALKING AND JUST RESPOND TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL MAY HAVE ABOUT THE DOCUMENT.

YES?

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT OVERVIEW.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, I HAVE BEEN WORKING FROM A TRUSTEE PERSPECTIVE ON DIVERSITY AND

[01:25:01]

EQUITY INCLUSION.

ONE OF THE AREAS MY WORKGROUP HAS BEEN COVERING HAS BEEN BOARD POLICIES.

THIS IS A BOARD POLICY THAT WAS SUGGESTED AS A POLICY WE SHOULD TAKE VERY CLOSE FROM AN APPROACH WOMAN DIVERSITY EQUITY INCLUSION STANDPOINT.

I NOTE IN CONVERSATION WITH MY OTHER TRUSTEE COLLEAGUES, THEY HAVE REALLY BROADENED THE LANGUAGE USED FOR CPL.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS WHO COME TO OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGES MANY DIFFERENT ROUTES, MANY DIFFERENT WAYS AFTER BEING SOMETIME IN THE WORKFORCE.

AFTER SERVING OUR COUNTRY IN THE MILITARY.

THROUGH JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS, INTERNSHIPS.

THERE JUST SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES WE MAY WANT TO CONSIDER WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO GET MORE NONTRADITIONAL STUDENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET AHEAD HERE AT THE COLLEGE AND OF COURSE EVENTUALLY COMPLETE THEIR CERTIFICATE DEGREE OR WHATEVER ACADEMIC GOAL THEY ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE.

WOULD ASK WHEN THIS COMES BACK FOR A SECOND READING, MAYBE WE COULD HAVE THE COMMITTEE LOOK AT IT ONE MORE TIME FROM AND EQUITY LOANS TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING MORE WE CAN DO ON THIS ASPECT.

AND THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE.

I THINK MAYBE THIS MAY BE MORE IN THE PROCEDURES AND THE POLICY IS IN REGARDS TO THE TEAM WHO EVALUATES A CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING, IF A STUDENT SUBMITS AND SAYS I FEEL I HAVE THIS TRAINING, WHATEVER TRAINING TO BE GIVE TO OUR EMPLOYEES WHO ACTUALLY EVALUATE THIS? BECAUSE AGAIN, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THEIR EXPERIENCE IN THEIR LEARNING THAT THEY HAVE DONE YEARS BEFORE THEY COME IS PROPERLY ADDRESSED.

SO THOSE OF MY TWO COMMENTS WHEN IT COMES BACK TO US IN A SECOND READING.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT.

THAT'S VERY MUCH IN LINE WITH THE DATE WAY THE TWO WORKGROUPS ARE WORKING TO RID IT IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE REASONS WE INCLUDED THE JOINT SERVICES TRANSCRIPT EVALUATION THAT IS ONE WAY STUDENTS COME IN QUITE A BIT OF EXPERIENCE THAT WE CAN APPLY TOWARD CREDIT.

WE WANT TO HONOR AND RECOGNIZE SOME OF THE INDUSTRY RECOGNIZED CREDENTIALS.

AS WELL AS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENT PORTFOLIOS AND PERFORMANCE BUT SOME STUDENTS MAY BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR LEARNING IN DIFFERENT WAYS TO REALLY WANT TO MAKE CERTAIN WE CANNOT ONLY HONOR WHAT THEY BRING IN, BUT HONOR IT IN DIFFERENT WAYS THEY'RE ACTUALLY ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS AND SUCH THIRD ONE OF THE OTHER REASONS WHY WE KEPT THE PROCEDURES A BIT MORE BROAD IS BECAUSE AS WE DO LEARN A BIT MORE GET MORE ACCESS TO SOME OF THE BEST PART DISTANCE, WE CAN EXPAND HOW FOLKS ARE ABLE TO DEVELOP THE ASSESSMENTS AND RUBRICS SO THEY ARE SENSITIVE TO THE DIFFERENT WAYS FOLKS MAY DEMONSTRATE LEARNING.

I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THAT FIRST POINT.

TO YOUR SECOND POINT, IT SPEAKS TO THE IMPORTANT OF OUR HAVING TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE.

THE FACULTY ARE CONSIDERED THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE.

SO THEY WOULD BE THE ONES WHO ARE EVALUATING THE WORK STUDENTS OF IT.

BUT JUST AS IN ANY SITUATION, FACULTY CAN BENEFIT FROM ADDITIONAL TRAINING.

EVEN IF JUST TO REMIND OURSELVES OF KEEPING THE EQUITY LINENS, OBJECTIVITY ETC. OUR FACULTY HAS HAD A BIT OF TRAINING IN TERMS OF STUDENT LEARNING ASSESSMENT SO THEY ARE ACCUSTOMED TO THE KIND OF TRAINING THAT JUST REMINDS US OF WHAT IS ESSENTIAL AND IMPORTANT AS WE ARE ASSESSING ANY STUDENT WORK.

BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER TRAINING FOR THE CENTER FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE THAT WILL REFLECT SOME OF THE BEST PRACTICES IN HIGHER ED AS IT RELATES TO CPL AS WELL.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

>> WE WILL CIRCLE BACK WITH VICE PRESIDENT AND INCLUDE YOUR COMMENTS AS WE SEND BACK THE DOCUMENT TO THE WORKING GROUP BEFORE IT COMES BACK TO YOUR MEETING COMMIT TO YOUR FINAL READING FOR APPROVAL.

WE APPRECIATE THE LENS ON EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION.

THAT ONLY YOU ARE KEEPING AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN THIS TRANSITION.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

[01:30:01]

>>JAMES CODY BIRKEY : THANK YOU.

MOVING ON TO INFORMATION ITEM 4.02 PUBLIC DISCUSSION AND PRESENTATION OF THE INITIAL PROPOSAL OF THE CERRITOS COLLEGE FEDERATION.

AFT 6215 TO THE CERRITOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT FOR NEGOTIATION OF THE CCF DISTRICT COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY 21, 2021 THROUGH JUNE 30 2024.

OF INVITING ANY DISCUSSION OR FEEDBACK.

ALL RIGHT.

DO WE NEED A MOTION OF ANY SORT OR WE JUST MOVE ON.

>> JUST MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

WE WILL TAKE THE ITEM IN THE ACTION LATER.

>>JAMES CODY BIRKEY : THE NEXT INFORMATION ITEM IS 4.03 IT RECEIVED THE INITIAL PROPOSAL OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT TO THE COLLEGE FACULTY FEDERATION CFF.

LOCAL 6215 FOR THE NEGOTIATION FOR THE DISTRICT BARGAINING AGREEMENT FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY 1, 2021 THREE JUNE 3024 24 AND NOTIFICATION OF A PUBLIC HEARING AT THE FEBRUARY THIRD 2021 REGULAR BOARD MEETING.

IS ANY DISCUSSION OR FEEDBACK FOR THIS ITEM? AGENDA ITEM 4.04 IS POSTPONED TO A FUTURE MEETING, THE ACCEPTANCE OF A GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNORS OFFICE FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES.

ITEM 4.05, THE PROGRESS REPORT ON THE RESPONSE TO THE CHANCELLORS OFFICE CALL TO ACTION.

DOCTOR, WILL HE GIVE US THE PRESENTATION ON THIS.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU TRUSTEE BIRKEY .

ANDREA WILL HELPED ME WITH CHANGING THE SCREEN.

WHICH HE ALREADY DID.

SO THIS IS JUST A MIDTERM REPORT OF SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ADVANCE SINCE OUR LAST CONVERSATION BACK IN JULY AFTER THE ISSUE OF THE CALL OF ACTION BY CHANCELLOR OAKLEY.

SO I WANT TO BEGIN BY THANKING EVERYONE AROUND CAMPUS FOR THE WORK AND COMMITMENT ON ADVANCING EQUITY DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AGENDA.

THE WORK THAT IS TAKEN PLACE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS IS NOT NOTHING SHORT OF EXTRAORDINARY.

WILL FIND A 12 PAGE SUMMARY OF THE WORK THAT HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE SINCE LAST WE SPOKE ON THE ACTION.

AND I EMPHASIZE SUMMARY.

BECAUSE WHEN 12 PAGES SEEMS TO BE A SUMMARY, YOU KNOW WE ONLY DETAILED BASIC BULLET POINTS IN THE ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE.

BUT THE WORK HAS BEEN DONE ACROSS THE ENTIRE CAMPUS.

I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE ACROSS CAMPUS.

ALL THE FACULTY, ALL THE MANAGERS, CONFIDENTIAL, VICE PRESIDENT.

AND YOU THE BOARD FOR THE SUPPORT OF DOING THESE IMPORTANT WORK.

SO TODAY I AM JUST GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A HIGHLIGHT OF WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS.

WHERE WE ARE A LITTLE BIT AT THE END OF WHERE WE ARE HEADING IN THE FUTURE.

YESTERDAY WE HAD A CONVERSATION, A PANEL ON EQUITY AND INCLUSION THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE A PART OF.

AND I WAS SPEAKING WITH THE TRUSTEE.

IT IS GOOD TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION, BUT IT'S BETTER TO HAVE ACTION THAT IS WHERE WE ARE ON THE ACTION PART THREE AND NOW WE ARE STARTING TO VISUALIZE WHAT THE FUTURE WOULD LOOK LIKE.

SO DUE TO SOME OF THE WORK WE HAVE DONE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, IT SEEMS WE ARE STARTING TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF NOTORIETY ACROSS THE STATE AND SOME OF THE COLLEAGUES ARE STUDYING THE LOOK AT SOME OF THE PRACTICES IMPLEMENTED AT

[01:35:01]

CERRITOS COLLEGE.

AS I SAID, I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR THE COLLABORATION OF EVERYONE ACROSS CAMPUS BUT I ALSO WANT TO SAY THIS WORK WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AS FAST AS HAS HAPPENED AND IS HAPPENING WITHOUT THE FOUNDATION WORK THAT IS TAKEN PLACE AT CERRITOS COLLEGE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

AND WORK IN EQUITY DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN ANTIRACISM IS NOT NECESSARILY NEW TO CERRITOS COLLEGE IT IS USED AS A CONVERSATION, BUT DOES NOT IMMUNE TO CERRITOS COLLEGE.

AND I PERMANENTLY BELIEVE WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACT AS QUICKLY AS WE HAVE BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.

SO THE CONVERSATION DID NOT COME AS A SURPRISE.

THE CONVERSATION PRODUCED REASONABLE SOLUTIONS AND LED TO QUICK ACTION.

NEXT SLIDE, ANDREA.

I GUESS I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO TALK THIS LONG.

>> I THINK MY SCREEN IS FROZEN.

JUST HOLD ON ONE MOMENT.

THANK YOU.

>> SO WHEN THE CALL IS MADE, WE ANSWER THEM.

THE MAIN REASON THAT WE COULD NOT, THAT WE ARE ABLE TO ANSWER QUICKLY IS BECAUSE THE WORK THAT HAD BEEN HAPPENING ON CAMPUS.

AND THE SERVES AS A WAY FOR US TO CONTINUE TO CHANNEL THE ENERGY WE HAVE BEEN CHANNELING INTO THE DIVERSITY EQUITY TRAINING OR CONVERSATIONS.

AND THIS CAME AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXHILARATE SOMETHING ALREADY HAPPENING AT THE INSTITUTION.

AND SO HOW DID WE RESPOND TO THE CALL? NEXT.

WE RESPOND TO THE CALL FIRST BY, SO HE PARTICIPATED ON.

BUT HAVING THAT INITIAL CONVERSATION AFTER THE MURDER OF MR. GEORGE FLOYD.

IN BRINGING EVERYONE ON CAMPUS TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO SAY WHAT IS IN THEIR MINDS, HOW THEY WERE FEELING AND HOW CAN WE ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD AS AN INSTITUTION AND AS A COMMUNITY.

SO THE LAST TIME WE TALKED, JULY 1, 2020, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS INITIATIVE.

WAS JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER THE CALL OF ACTION HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR CHANCELLOR OAKLEY.

WE QUICKLY MOVED INTO THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE.

THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL PICTURE OF JULY 1, 2020.

THIS IS A PICTURE FROM A PREVIOUS MEETING.

THAT MEETING JULY 1 WAS ALSO A ZOOM MEETING.

TO OUR FIRST ITEM IS A SYSTEM WIDE REVIEW OF ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND FIRST RESPONDER TRAINING CURRICULUM.

THERE ARE SEVERAL ITEMS ABOUT HAVING NEARLY 3 PAGES OF ACTIONS THAT ARE POLICE DEPARTMENT AT CERRITOS COLLEGE IS ALREADY TAKEN.

BUT I CHOSE TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THOSE ACTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ALREADY COMPLETED.

THE FIRST ONE IS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT COMPLETED A FULL REVIEW OF THE COLLEGE POLICE DEPARTMENT MANUAL.

INCLUDING THE REVISION AND REMOVAL OF SOME OF THE POLICIES THAT THE SPECIFIED USE OF FORCE DURING AN ACTIVITY.

THEY WORKED AND TOOK TRAINING ON CRISIS INTERVENTION FOR TRAINING ALL OFFICERS.

THAT INCLUDES COLLABORATION, INCLUDING MONTHLY MEETINGS WITH THE FACULTY.

[01:40:02]

ADVISOR PARTICIPATION AND TRAININGS WILL ONLINE STUDENT SUPPORT GATHERINGS FOR LGBT Q STUDENTS AND THAT IS ACTUALLY HOSTED BY OUR CHIEF OF POLICE.

THEY ARE CONTINUOUSLY WORKING IN BRINGING IDEAS AND HOW THEY CAN BECOME MORE INTEGRATED THE FABRIC OF OUR INSTITUTION.

THE CHIEF, I HAVE TO SAY AS BEEN INCREDIBLY OPEN HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH EVERYONE ACROSS CAMPUS AS TO HOW WE BEST COLLABORATE.

WE BEST COLLABORATE BY CALLING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WE ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE SITUATION.

WE COLLABORATE BY LEARNING HOW TO DE-ESCALATE THE SITUATION SO WE CAN ALL BE CONTRIBUTORS TO OUR COMMUNITY.

THE SECOND ITEM IS A CAMPUS LEADER OPEN DIALOGUE AND ADDRESS CAMPUS CLIMATE.

SO AGAIN, WE HAVE SEVERAL ACTION ITEMS THAT WERE COMPLETED ACCORDING TO DUE DATES, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, BUT IN HIGHLIGHTING ONLY THREE OF THOSE.

WE QUICKLY MOVED UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF DOCTOR FLORIS CHURCH TO WORK WITH SOME OF THE COLLEAGUES ACROSS CAMPUS TO DEVELOP AN ONLINE VERSION, ONE HOUR OF EACH PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES AND THEY HAVE TO COMPLETE THE PARTICULAR REQUIREMENT DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF EMPLOYMENT.

WE BELIEVE IT IS IMPORTANT TO WORK WITH OUR INCOMING TEAM MEMBERS SO THEY UNDERSTAND THE CULTURE.

PROVIDING THEM WITH THE TOOLS AND SUPPORT TO BE ABLE TO ADJUST OUR EXPECTATIONS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

WE WORK ON THE LEADERSHIP.

DEVELOP, CREATE AND ESTABLISH BLACK EXCELLENT COLLABORATIVE.

AND THEY ARE WORKING IN MANY INITIATIVES.

ONE BEING ABSORBING THE PLANNING AND PROGRAM LAYOUT OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH FOR THE SECOND DEVELOPING THE PROGRAM.

I HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM.

PARTICULARLY AS IT RELATES TO THE IDEAS THAT SHE HAS MOVING FORWARD IN THE CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN GREAT.

IN ADDITION, BECK IS WORKING WITH DOCTOR FLORIS CHURCH TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK IN THE TRAINING POLICE PROCEDURES, THE CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN IN DIFFERENT TOPICS.

BUT AS I SAID IS GOING WELL.

WE HAD A PANEL DISCUSSION ON MANAGING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RACE.

THIS WAS THE BEST ATTENDED SESSION OF ALL SAYS SESSIONS.

COMMITTEE PARTICIPANTS WAS THAT DOCTOR PEREZ, DOCTOR MILLER.

KNIGHT IN MISSING SOMEONE.

BUT I WANT TO SAY THIS PARTICULAR CONVERSATION WAS THE BEST ATTENDED CONVERSATIONS OF THE TOPICS HIGHLIGHTED WITHIN THE CONVERSATION FOR ENGAGING THE SPEAKERS WERE COMFORTABLE SHARING THEIR IDEAS AND RECEIVED A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS AND WERE PLANNING TO RIDICULE PLATE THAT CONVERSATIONS GOING FORWARD.

THE NEXT ASPECT IS CAMPUS MUST CREATE AN ACTION PLAN TO CREATE INCLUSIVE CLASSROOMS AND CURRICULUM.

SO THE OFFICE OF AFFAIRS HAS LED AND CONTINUES TO LEAD CLASSROOM CLIMATE.

[01:45:03]

IT IS WORKING ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ACTION PLAN TO READ AGAIN, AND JUST TO HIGHLIGHT THREE ITEMS SO WAS COMPLETED ON DECEMBER 2020 AND THE ACTION PLAN WILL BE COMPLETED IN 21.

AND SO WE JOINT USC CENTER FOR RACE AND EQUALITY.

WE BECAME MEMBERS OF THE CENTER.

AS PART OF MEMBERSHIP DESIGNED THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WE HAVE ACCESS TO.

WE HAVE RECEIVED ALREADY THE NATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF COLLEGE CAMPUS CLIMATES.

WE HAVE RECEIVED THEM ALREADY IN OUR HANDS.

WE ARE WORKING ON THE DEPLOYMENT COLLECTION OF THE INFORMATION OF THIS PARTICULAR SERVICE.

WE ARE HOPING TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH USC EQUITY CENTER IS A RESULTS COME.

AS A RESULT, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEVELOP A PLAN TO ADDRESS ANY ISSUES WE MAY FIND GOING FORWARD.

AND I HOPE THAT OBVIOUSLY WE FIND A SPECIFIC ITEM WE NEED TO WORK FORWARD.

WE ARE SAYING THIS IS A PROCESS OF CONTINUING IMPROVEMENT IT IS A PROCESS OF FINDING THINGS.

WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CANOE THE GROWTH AS AN INSTITUTION.

UNDER THE LEADERSHIP DEVICE PRESIDENT, WE HAD A RETREAT.

THEY ANALYZED THE ROLES MOVING FORWARD AS TO HOW THEY CAN CONTRIBUTE MOVING THE NEEDLE FORWARD AS WE TALK ABOUT EQUITY IN CLOSING ACHIEVEMENT GAPS.

SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO SEE WHAT IS MY ROLE.

IF I DON'T SEE A STUDENT ENTERING THE CLASS AND, WHAT IS MY ROLE IN CLOSING THE EQUITY GAP.

ALL OF US, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US HAS A ROLE IN HELPING STUDENTS REACH THEIR GOALS AND THESE WILL HELP US CLOSE THE EQUITY GAPS WE HAVE IN DIFFERENT GROUPS.

DURING THIS MEETING THE DEAN AND THE VICE PRESIDENT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ANALYZE DATA.

THIS DATA IDENTIFIED GROUPS HOW THE GROUPS WERE BEING INFECTED WITH THE PERCENTAGE POINT SEPARATED HIGH-PERFORMING GROUPS AND THOSE WHO STUDENTS PERFORMING WHERE THEY SHOULD AND THERE HAVING CONVERSATIONS OF SPECIFIC ITEMS THEY COULD ADDRESS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF HOW THEY COULD SUPPORT THE STUDENTS TO CONTINUE THIS WORK.

EQUITY IN THE CLASSROOM PROGRAM BEGAN JULY 20 AND ENDED IN AUGUST 7 WITH THE FACULTY ON THE PRINCIPLES OF AN EQUITY MINDED SYLLABLES ASSIGNMENTS AND GRADING POLICY AND PRODUCED CLASSROOM TOOLS AND POLICIES THAT REFLECT THAT.

THIS IS A VERY GOOD CONVERSATION TO HAVE AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE DON'T THINK THE SYLLABLES MAY FAVOR ONE GROUP UNTIL WE BASIC POLICIES OR PROCEDURES AND EXPECTATIONS.

WE FIND OUT YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE SAME LEARNING OUTCOMES USING DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES THAT ARE MORE INCLUSIVE BUT THIS CONVERSATION CONTINUES AND WE HAD A GOOD GROUP OF FACULTY WORK ON THIS INITIATIVE AND DEVELOP THE TOOLKIT.

THE NEXT ITEM IS DISTRICT BOARD REVIEW AND UPDATE EQUITY PLANS WITH URGENCY.

BY THE TIME THE CALL OF ACTION WAS ISSUED AND WHEN BROUGHT THE DOCUMENT, WE HAD ALREADY DONE THIS.

SO WE HAVE ALREADY REVIEWED THE EQUITY PLANS.

IN FACT, THE BOARD WAS ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF APPROVING OUR EQUITY PLAN.

BECAUSE WE HAD ALREADY REVIEWED AND APPROVAL OR EQUITY PLAN, WE DECIDED TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL ELEMENT.

THERE WAS NO PART OF THE COLLECTION, BUT WE DETERMINED THAT THIS PARTICULAR ELEMENT WOULD HELP US CONTINUE TO ADVANCE OUR EQUITY AND INCLUSION.

SO WE ARE REVIEWING THE MASTER PLAN IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE ITEMS WE HAVE HIGHLIGHTED IN OUR PLANS AND GOALS ARE FREE OF WERE AS FREE AS POSSIBLE OF STRUCTURAL RACISM.

[01:50:01]

THAT DO NOT MAINTAIN FAVORITISM TO THE GROUP.

SO WE ARE WORKING WITH PLANNING AND BUDGET.

THEY WILL CONVENE AT TASK FORCE THIS SEMESTER WE ARE IN.

LOOK AT OUR STRATEGIC PLAN LOOK AT OUR MIDCYCLE AND DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE CONTINUING TO ALIGN WITH THE MASTER PLAN.

WHETHER OR NOT ANY OF OUR GOALS ARE ALLEVIATED AND OBVIOUSLY THOSE ACTIONS ARE ALIGNED WITH ADDRESSING THE ISSUES OF STRUCTURAL RACISM.

THE NEXT ITEM IS IN THE TIMEFRAME FOR THE FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION PLAN.

AGAIN, MANY ACTIONS ON THIS ONE WE HAVE HIGHLIGHTED HERE.

AND SO NOT ONLY WE ARE PART OF THE USC RACE FOR EQUITY CENTER PRESENTERS EQUITY COMMIT USC RACE AND EQUITY CENTER, BUT WE ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EQUITY NO TRAINING.

WE HAVE WELL OVER 100.

WE OFFERED ABOUT 150 SPOTS FOR EVERYONE IN THE INSTITUTION TO BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE EQUITY NO TRAINING.

OVER THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN CALIFORNIA THAT SENT THE MOST TO THE WORKSHOPS.

THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL PARTICIPATED IN THE WORKSHOPS.

WE HAVE ALSO TAKEN DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE USC RACE AND EQUITY CENTER AND WE HAVE PARTICIPATED ON THOSE WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COLLEGE AT LARGE.

PARTICIPATION ACROSS ALL LEVELS OF THE INSTITUTION.

WE ISSUED PARTICIPATION IN THIS PARTICULAR INITIATIVES, THERE WASN'T OVERWHELMING ACCEPTANCE BY THE COLLEGE A LARGE.

WE VERY QUICKLY FEEL MOST OF THE SPOTS.

AND PEOPLE WERE HAPPY TO ATTEND.

WE HAVE DONE A COUPLE OF BRIEFINGS AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON DISSECTING THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED AND TO OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE USC RIGHTS AND EQUITY CENTER THREE ALSO THE FACULTY CENTER COMMITTEE.

USING THE PROCESS.

THIS IS ESSENTIALLY HOW FACULTY ASSIGNED THE CREDENTIALS IN A SPECIFIC AREA.

ARE FACULTY CENTER HAS BEEN WORKING ON THESE AND HAVE BEEN REVIEWING THE EQUIVALENCY AND ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT AS THAT WORK IS BEING COMPLETED A REVIEW OF SELECTION PROCEDURES ARE CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW AND WE ARE HOPING THAT MOST OF THESE ACCOMPLISHED BY JUNE 2021.

THE PART OF ACCOUNTABILITY.

THINK ACCOUNTABILITY IS IMPORTANT FOR US.

AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE ARE NOT DOING ANY OF THESE TWO SIMPLY FIND SOMEONE TO BLAME FOR SOMETHING THAT ISN'T WORKING.

WE DON'T WANT TO POINT FINGERS.

WE WANT TO WORK TOGETHER AND ENSURE THAT THIS IS A CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PROCESS.

IN MY OPINION, WE WERE CAN BE MORE INCLUSIVE.

BEING ANTIRACIST, WORKING IN EQUITY DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION.

IS A WORK THAT IS NEVER DONE, IT IS A WORK WE NEED TO CONTINUOUSLY PROVEN CYCLE BUT IT MEANS WE GET BETTER AND BETTER EVERY TIME.

THE MOMENT WE STOPPED HIM AT THAT MOMENT SOMETHING IS WRONG.

SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET TO THE POINT HERE ON ACCOUNTABILITY.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING? WHAT ARE WE DOING TO HOLD EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE AND DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE BEING SUCCESSFUL INITIATIVES THAT WE ARE IMPLEMENTING.

SO THE FIRST THING WE ARE DOING IS FOCUSING HOW, WHAT DO WE DO ON CAMPUS FOR ALL OF US TRANSLATE IN HOW STUDENTS RECEIVE ALL SERVICES, INCLUDING EDUCATION.

ALDIE RECEIVED THE EDUCATION AND HOW WELL THEY PERFORM ONCE THE EDUCATION HAS BEEN DELIVERED.

PART OF THAT PROCESS HAS BEEN A CAMPUS INITIATIVE THAT WE BEGAN LAST YEAR.

[01:55:04]

WE JUST FINISHED OUR FIRST STAGE AND THAT IS HOW WE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER AND HOW THAT TRANSLATES ON HOW WE TAKE CARE OF STUDENTS.

THE NEXT PART WOULD BE HOW QUICKLY WE ARE ABLE TO CLOSE THE GAPS THE STUDENTS ARE SEEING IN RELATIONSHIP WITH HIGH-PERFORMING STUDENTS IN THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.

WE CANNOT SAY THAT WE ARE IN INSTITUTION THAT VALUES DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE PERFORMING GAPS OF OUR STUDENTS.

THERE SHOULD BE NO GAPS BETWEEN ANY OF OUR STUDENT GROUPS AND THEY SHOULD BE NO DIFFERENT ACROSS ALL THE STUDENT GROUPS.

SO WE HAVE WORKED TO DEVELOP THREE DIFFERENT Â" MORE.

MOMENTUM POINT DASHBOARD AND ASPEN DASHBOARD.

WE COMPLETED THE DASHBOARDS IN DECEMBER THESE DASHBOARDS ARE GOING TO GIVE US THREE DIFFERENT TYPE OF DATA.

ONE IS A REALISTIC GOAL, ESSENTIALLY HOW FAR ARE WE FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF AN ASPEN INSTITUTION.

IT HAS THE SAME SIMILAR STUDENT POPULATION, SIMILAR DEMOGRAPHIC.

THESE ARE LAGGING INDICATORS.

THE MOMENTUM POINT DASHBOARD IS GOING TO TELL US IF STUDENTS ARE GOING TO GRADUATE ON TIME.

HOW IT'S GOING TO TELL US THAT? WE KNOW FROM THE DATA AND FROM THE RESEARCH THAT STUDENTS THAT COMPLETE 15 UNITS DURING THE FIRST SEMESTER ARE MORE LIKELY TO GRADUATE ON TIME.

SO WE NOW HAVE THE ABILITY OF SEPARATING DIFFERENT STUDENT GROUPS AND DETERMINING HOW MANY OF THEM ARE TRULY BEING SUCCESSFUL ALMOST 15 UNITS.

WE ARE ALSO NOT ABLE TO SEE HOW MANY STUDENTS PASS ON THE MEDICS OF THAT FIRST ATTEMPT OR PASS ENGLISH AND THAT FIRST ATTEMPT.

AND IN THE PLANNING OR FACULTY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE SIMILAR DATA AS IT CONNECTS TO THEIR CLASSES AND NOW THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DISAGGREGATE THE DATA BASED ON STUDENT POPULATION VERY EASILY.

UNTIL THE NEXT LINE WILL SHOW YOU A PICTURE OF WHAT BASIC DASHBOARD WILL SHOW.

IT WILL HELP US WITH SUCCESS RATES.

DIFFERENT STUDENT GROUPS.

AND BEGIN COMMIT OUR DATA POINT BEGINS IN 2015 WITH THAT WAS ESSENTIALLY TO CAPTURE A FULL CYCLE OF STUDENTS BASED ON THE REPORTING.

AND WE SHOULD BE PRESENTING THE DASHBOARD TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN THE NEXT FEW MEETINGS.

WE ARE ROLLING IT OUT IN STAGES FOR NEXT WEEK WE WILL BE PRESENTING SOME OF THE WORK TO OUR MANAGERS.

WE ARE PLANNING THE FACULTY SENATE.

WE HAVE ALREADY ACQUIRED LINE SENTENCES TO ACCESS IN THIS PARTICULAR WAY OF THE DEPARTMENT CHAIRS AND SO ON BECAUSE THEY CAN START SEEING THE DATA.

AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO MANIPULATE THE DATA AND DETERMINE IF WE ARE BEING EFFECTIVE MOVING THE NEEDLE ON DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTING THE STUDENTS.

THAT IS ONLY UPDATE FOR NOW.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, AND BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

>> I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION.

I WAS WONDERING, ONCE ALL THE DATA IS COMPILED, HOW DO LARGE INSTITUTIONS OF THE MAGNITUDE NUMBER ONE MOVE FORWARD WITH SUCH INFORMATION ONCE IT IS DISAGGREGATED.

AND HOW DO OTHER INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION WITH THE SIMILAR ATTENDEES SCALE THIS INFORMATION IN A WAY THAT IS ACTUALLY DOABLE AND MANAGEABLE.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.

THE FIRST STEP IS ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION.

AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE ACCESS TO DATA IN THE SPECIFIC WAY.

[02:00:03]

THEY HAVE A PROCESS OF SEVERAL BEERS FOR US TO BUILD DATABASES THAT ALLOWS US.

DOCTOR AMBER ROCK AND HER TEAM FOR THE WORK THAT THEY HAVE DONE.

I WAS ASKING FOR SOMETHING IMPOSSIBLE TO DO AT THE TIME, BUT SHE DELIVERED.

SHE SAID SHE WOULD GET IT DONE BY DECEMBER AND THEY ALL GOT TOGETHER AND DID IT.

THE FIRST THING IS BEING ABLE TO ACCESS THE DATA.

THE SECOND IS PUTTING DATA IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE.

MY HOPE IS YOU COULD ALSO LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS, JUST LIKE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE THAT DATA TO ALL OF OUR FACULTY.

BECAUSE I KNOW NONE OF US LIKE TO SEE IN SOME AREAS WE MAY NOT BE DOING WELL.

A CULTURE IN WHICH THINGS OF NO WORKING PROPERTY.

I KNOW THAT FOR A FACT BECAUSE EVERY TIME WE HAVE FOUND THE CHALLENGE WE HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO CORRECT.

BUT SOMETIMES WITHOUT ACCESS TO THE DATA, WE FIND OURSELVES REMEMBERING THE GOOD THINGS, RIGHT? WE HAVE SO MANY STUDENTS GRADUATING.

WE HAVE SO MANY STUDENTS WHO HAVE TRANSFERRED A LEVEL I UNIVERSITIES.

WE HAVE SO MANY STUDENTS THAT HAVE INCREDIBLE JOBS.

BUT THEN WE FORGET SO MANY UNFINISHED ARE SO MANY THAT COULDN'T TRANSFER IT UNTIL THIS DATA IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE WILL HELP US TO DO THAT.

THE DASHBOARD IS HELPING US COMPARED INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE SUCCESSFUL DOING THIS WORK ACROSS THE NATION.

AND THE REASON WE DECIDED TO DO THAT IS BECAUSE WE NEED TO PREPARE OURSELVES WITH THE BEST-PERFORMING INSTITUTIONS IN THE NATION IF YOU WANT TO BE THE BEST-PERFORMING INSTITUTION IN THE NATION.

SO INSTITUTIONS, FOR INSTANCE LIKE MIAMI-DADE.

IT HAS VIRTUALLY NO PERFORMANCE GAPS BETWEEN THE STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS.

THEY ARE THE LARGEST INSTITUTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE COUNTRY.

YET THEY HAVE MANAGED TO CREATE SYSTEMS OVER TIME, THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS.

BUT IT ALL STARTED WITH DATA IDENTIFYING FOR WEEK AREAS AND BEGIN TREATING THESE LIKE WHEN YOU GO TO THE DOCTOR AND THEY TREAT THE SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS AND SO ON UNTIL WE GET BETTER.

SO THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE, BUT IF WE ARE COMMITTED TO TRULY BE ONE OF THE BEST INSTITUTIONS IN THE NATION, WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE AND WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BEST INSTITUTIONS IN THE NATION.

>> I APPRECIATE IT.

>> I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE DOCTOR AND EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THIS UPDATE AND TO THE PRESENTATION.

AM SO GLAD WE ARE CONTINUING TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS.

SINCE WE STARTED THIS LAST SUMMER.

AND I THINK IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU UPDATE THE BOARD MORE FREQUENTLY LIKE THIS SO WE CAN HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE AS WELL TOO.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT.

IT SOUNDS LIKE A A LOT OF GREAT SYSTEMS ARE BEING DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED AND PUT IN PLACE SO WE CAN SEE THE DATA YOU WERE JUST DISGUSTING AND THAT TRUSTEE WALLACE WAS DISCUSSING AS WELL.

AND USING ALL THE POWERFUL INFORMATION TO MAKE CHANGE.

IS REALLY GREAT TO SEE HER TAKING THE CALL TO ACTION SO SERIOUSLY.

BECAUSE IT REALLY IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR SUCCESS.

I JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO IS INVOLVED IN THIS.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

>> THANK YOU.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS.

I'M SORRY IT IS A LITTLE LONG, BUT THERE IS JUST AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE.

THE AND I WANT TO RECOGNIZE DOCTOR PEREZ FOR THE WORK THAT SHE HAS DONE ON THIS INITIATIVE.

SHE HAS LED THE COUNCIL GROUP WITH DOCTOR LOUIS ON DOOR.

HE HAS ALSO DONE INCREDIBLE WORK GETTING PEOPLE TO GATHER AND HAVING MANY OF

[02:05:07]

THESE DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS.

[NAME] WAS ALSO A BIG COMPONENT IN ORGANIZING THE FIRESIDE FOR THE CONVERSATION ABOUT EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IT AGAIN, I WANT TO RECOGNIZE DOCTOR PEREZ FOR THE WORK BEING DONE.

HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING BECAUSE IF THEY WOULD VERY WISE AND GIVE EVERY SINGLE ONE ASSIGNMENTS FOR THIS IS IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT AS WELL.

EVERY AREA YOU SEE IS UNDER A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RESIDENT WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GROUP OF PEOPLE WORKING.

AS YOU SEE THE FIVE DIFFERENT AREAS, EACH ONE OF THE AREAS IS BEING ADDRESSED IN DIFFERENT AREAS READY EIGHT PEOPLE THAT TRADITIONALLY DO NOT GET INVOLVEMENT.

BEEN PART OF THE CONVERSATION.

WE ALL PLAY A ROLE IN MAKING SURE THE CULTURE OF THE INSTITUTION CONTINUES TO CHANGE.

>>JAMES CODY BIRKEY : THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE THE WORK EVERYONE HAS DONE ON THIS AND THE LEADERSHIP FROM THE DOCTOR ON DOWN ON THIS.

I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ITEMS THAT FIT WITH ONE OF MANY.

TAKING THE INITIATIVE TO HIGHLIGHT IS AS CRITICAL AND IMPORTANT AND NOT REALLY WAIT FOR OTHER INSTITUTIONS BY AND LARGE IN ORDER TO ACT.

THOUGHT THAT WE ARE NOT BENEFITING FROM WHAT OTHER INSTITUTIONS HAVE DONE TRYING TO INCORPORATE THOSE BEST PRACTICES, BUT I KNOW THERE ARE A NUMBER OF INSTITUTION I COME IN CONTACT WITH THAT ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO THAT GOES BEYOND CONVERSATION.

AND I APPRECIATE EVERYONE WHO HAS STEPPED UP TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION AND MOVE INTO ACTION.

I THINK WE WILL BENEFIT AS AN INSTITUTION FROM THESE TYPES OF PRACTICES IT IS NICE WHEN YOU ARE IMPLEMENTING THINGS THAT ARE NOT ONLY JUST THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE HUGE BENEFITS TO BE IN INSTITUTION AND THE LEVEL OF EFFICACY THE STUDENTS HAVE AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND WHO THEY GET TO BE BECAUSE OF THE OUTCOMES OF THESE TYPES OF CHANGES.

I APPLAUD EVERYBODY IN SPENT THANKLESS HOURS ON THIS.
