2: From my knowledge, Ha is correct in that the EDI strategic plans that were submitted in 2022 were referenced/gleaned to draft the 2023 budget request. I 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.</div>

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.
