<p>I’m not sure if you all are aware – but the Operating Budget Director of SBCTC also sent this request directly to our VP of Ops, so I’m wondering how many folx at each institution are working to submit this information. Sophia, is there a way you can check
 with Stephanie Winner to see how far this request went, and why it didn’t just come directly to the DEOC?

<p>Hi. I logged in today only to help finalize a matter that I promised would be resolved. Our college is closed, and I am on vacation as is most of the college. </p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>I need to push back on this request as this is coming at one of the few times people can take actual breaks on our campuses and is not sufficient time to address the questions being asked. Additionally, with the fiscal year not being over, I'm wondering
 why we are being asked this now. This sense of urgency on our positions feels intrusive and counterintuitive to the culture we keep saying we want. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Any insight you can provide after the first of the year will be greatly appreciated. And, if you can pass on my feedback to those that need it will be helpful. </p>
</div>
