The model takes a look at the following factors and the role they play in student success:\n<ul>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Connection<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Entry<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Progress<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Completion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Darcy stated we need to also understand common barriers and close achievement gaps in access and success.<\/li>\n<li>Mark discussed the concept of \u201cequity\u201d as defined by the use of the 80% rule. The 80% rule is used as a benchmark to determine \u201cequity\u201d among students,<\/li>\n<li>Mark stated this tool allows us to see what areas\/groups we may need to focus on and work towards a common goal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3SP Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Darcy stated they are currently working on the 3SP plan and has requested input from all areas.<\/li>\n<li>She requested departments to send any hiring needs, priorities, or purchase requests that will assist in working towards the goal of student success and equity to include in the 3SP plan.<\/li>\n<li>Darcy gave examples of some suggested needs such as a Programmer, Bi-lingual counselor, and hiring new faculty. There were also other needs from areas such as new computers and staff training\/professional development.<\/li>\n<li>It was suggested to involve a more diversified group of students in the meetings to provide input. It was also suggested to use surveys such as with Blackboard for quick feedback and possibly offer incentives to students who complete the survey.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s also important to keep in mind that funding decreases each year; next year it reduces to 80% then to 50% the 3rd year.<\/li>\n<li>Equity is funded at $200,000 with no match required and cannot be used to fund current expenses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Next Steps<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Darcy stated at the next meeting the committee will need to gather data and analyze how Taft College is doing in the area of student success and set goals.
