Students shared many ideas including more signage\/advertisement that was permanent and visible since students didn\u2019t know about resources on campus. Students also suggested tours of the campus. It was agreed that the tour leaders should be other students who are familiar with the campus. An App or better website to get information to students was mentioned as well as something called Link Crew which teams up a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> year student with a 1<sup>st<\/sup> year student. Ten to fifteen students attended. <\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Decide on next steps for pre-collegiate equity mentoring program\n<ul>\n<li>Establish a program maximum of 15 hrs\/wk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>The next steps are to identify students who are in the following D.I. groups: DSPS, EOPS, 1<sup>st<\/sup> generation and foster youth who are also eligible for student worker jobs (have at least a 2.2 GPA, be enrolled in 6 units, and have fewer than 60 units completed). Adam will generate this list. These students will receive an email to invite them to apply for a student worker job for up to 15 hours per week. These students will be paid and receive training on how to be mentors. Each student will also be mentored by a faculty member. The timeline for this is 2 weeks. The trainings for mentors will also be available to other groups on campus with mentoring such as EOPS. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sharyn shared with the group the 80% rule tables for both courses and programs as well as the tables using proportionality. Currently we use the 80% rule to define disproportionally impacted groups. Proportionality requires establishing the percentage of the population represented by each subgroup and the percentage of the successful population represented by the subgroup. Using proportionality, the set standard is .85. Sharyn said that proportionality benefits smaller subgroups. It was mentioned that Strategic Planning or Access would need to make the decision to use proportionality rather than the 80% rule. She also handed out the Equity Plan Template that needs to be board approved and sent to the Chancellor\u2019s office by December. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/ct-test-wp.taftcollege.edu\/access\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/09\/Minutes-9-30-2015.pdf\" class=\"mtli_attachment mtli_pdf\">Minutes 9-30-2015<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Access Committee \u2013 Special meeting  Sept. 30, 2015  Attendees: Jen Altenhofel, Adam Bledsoe, Lourdes Gonzalez, Vicki Jacobi, Danielle Vohnout, Sharyn Eveland, and Alexander Victoria.
