Clear policies and be accountable to uphold the policies that are instated. Following through.

Equitable hiring processes. Diversifying staff and faculty. Hiring committees need to be diverse as well.

2023-11-01 20:35:57 UTC

Consider the placement of the Title IX Coordinator. When staff, faculty, and students have grievances, it may help to have Title IX support that isn't directly tied to the Human Resources office.

Building support for students who are re-entering society. Considering our proximity to the correctional systems, what does our infrastructure look like to promote opportunities for marginalized intersectional populations in general.

Increase community involvement. Meet people we're they're at by being intentional. We have events here on campus but could increase going out to the community.

2023-11-01 20:49:42 UTC

Being open to equitable collaboration with student services.

2023-11-01 20:49:50 UTC

Providing guidance and teaching students how to handle stressful subjects in college!

Listening Ear

2023-11-02 15:17:10 UTC

Hearing students vent about their problems. Peer mentors, First-Year Coordinators, Academic Advisors, and Success Coaches should always be available to aid students!

All involved need to be transparent, accountable, and equitable! Self-reflection should be an all-inclusive academic practice.

paulvaldez1 — 2023-11-02 15:26:11 UTC

Having faculty support when it is determined by Student Services professionals that an intervention is necessary!

Investing in our LatinX student population will help create an environment that embraces and serves the student population.

Let's start off with getting resolutions for students who have complaints, fast and effective resolutions

Developing an easier way for students to reach out for help when they are struggling would be beneficial in helping connect students with needed resources in a timelier manner.

2023-11-02 16:25:14 UTC

More transparent grading practices in the classroom. This includes upfront expectations on how assignments and tests will be graded and administered, teaching staff being available to students for clarification outside of the classroom, and what teaching staff expect of their students at the beginning of the semester.

2023-11-02 16:40:13 UTC

Not a student -involve current student groups (or develop one) to talk with groups such as faculty/staff council/ cabinet to speak on issues and give them a voice or a seat at the table so to speak.

2023-11-02 17:06:10 UTC

Holding the Professors accountable for their classes, as far as success and failure of students are concerned. Being more effective in communication.

Adjuncts

2023-11-03 15:27:30 UTC

The adjunct model of hiring faculty should be reconsidered. Adjunct instructors are not paid well, get fewer benefits, and are not given proper training or support. They are teaching important classes that shape students' academic futures. We need to invest in our instructors so they can feel invested in PCC and its students, and in turn provide the best education and service to our students.

2023-11-07 19:14:22 UTC

Assess the inclusionary practices of each faculty member.

Go back to search and screen committees instead of allowing hiring manager do all of the screening, interviewing and selection.

2023-11-10 17:59:57 UTC

Pursue hiring a student support liason/advocate or success coach specific for Native students and/or any underserved populations. And in general student success support in person.

Data Access

Faculty need access to data on academic performance in order to have an understanding of where to begin in terms of change.

DEI goal

2023-11-13 20:21:31 UTC

DEI goals on performance evaluations should be a central focus for ALL employees.

Capacity

2023-11-13 20:23:07 UTC

We need help with building capacity to be able to get involved in DEI initiatives. We are inundated with so many tasks. It would be helpful to have a menu of PDs/initiatives/priorities/committees, etc.

Mental health training

Student Affinity Groups

2023-11-13 20:29:00 UTC

Is there a need for a Native American student affinity group in the Southwest?

DEI Funding

Expenses on DEI programming/personnel is currently minimal. We need to intentionally fund DEI to show that it is a priority at PCC.
