It was discussed that one role for the Equity \u201cspecialists\u201d would be as mentors for students. The idea is to have both Staff Mentors as well as Student Mentors. The Staff Mentors would receive a stipend for mentoring 3 students. The purpose is two-fold. 1. It reaches disproportionally impacted students through mentoring and 2. It provides the opportunity to reach more Taft College employees to teach them about the Equity Plan, disproportionally impacted groups, and the importance. These staff members could be non-instructional employees, and they would learn about how their job affects student success. They would be assigned up to three students who they would touch base with once a week. They would become those students\u2019 first contact at Taft College. The Staff Mentors would also meet up with each other to discuss to have an opportunity to discuss what they and their mentees are experiencing. The Equity Technician would help facilitate and coordinate this effort.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Dan presented a Distance Education Funding Proposal as a way to reach distance learning students. The proposal included a part-time advisor as well as a part-time Student Support person and a student worker. It was discussed that we have to be careful with Equity money and that it needs to be used to reach disproportionally impacted students. This may be coupled with other Equity projects to ensure disproportionally impacted students are reached. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ct-test-wp.taftcollege.edu\/access\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/07\/Minutes-7-21-15.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\">Minutes 7-21-15<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Access Committee Budget Priority Discussion\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 July 21, 2015  There is 100k Equity money to spend before December 2015.
