Student Equity Committee

CHARGE  
The Student Equity Committee focuses its work on promoting equitable educational outcomes for all students by identifying and providing recommendations to address equity gaps. The Committee will review the student lifecycle from pre-entry to completion, and will collaborate with departments, faculty, staff, and students to develop, and evaluate strategies that foster an inclusive and supportive learning environment for students at each phase of the student lifecycle.  
 
A standing subcommittee of the Student Equity Committee, composed solely of faculty, will be established to focus on academic and professional matters under the purview of the Academic Senate.  
 
Equity Planning: 

  • Develop, update, and provide recommendations for the college's Student Equity Plan to ensure compliance with state guidelines and alignment with campus priorities. 
  • Collaborate with relevant departments to recommend strategies that support student populations disproportionately impacted by specific issues. 
  • Data Analysis and Reporting: 
  • Review student success, access, and retention data to identify equity gaps and recommend targeted interventions. 
  • Provide input on periodic equity data reports that are provided by IERP to campus stakeholders. 
  • Program Support and Development:
