school and I am at a Director level. I know that is not something my president will take forward at this moment, so I wonder if we are still perusing that as a group, because I think that will only happen at schools like mine, if schools who have VP and cabinet
level folks with DEI focus, shame the crap out of those who don’t or force it through SBCTC support!

began my role on November 1 and observe that the timing of when those plans were requested, the administering of campus climate surveys, and other strategic planning happening at your colleges was not coordinated or ideal by any stretch. The EDI strategic
plans are but one data source that may or may not be reflective of your current priorities or needs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi, Yadira - great questions, thx for posing to the group. I believe there was a review of everyone’s EDI strategic plan submissions and SBCTC used it as a guide/reference for including addt’l EDI funding in their legislative
priorities for this session. It likely surfaced up common themes across our colleges for areas of priority, need for funds.

<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am wondering if within our roles and with our college presidents, are there topics that we are focusing on when it comes to increasing DEI funding to our colleges.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">My college president is going to legislative sessions and asked me what are the top priorities, I wonder what are the topics and if there should be some consistency with other colleges when college presidents are talking
to legislators.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
