Since the beginning of the school year, Highline has currently had six empty vice president and dean positions open on campus such as vice president of student services, vice president of aca- demic affairs, dean of academic transfer programs and dean of Workforce and Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) programs. According to Highline.edu, the position for Student Services operates on three core functions: access, supporting student success, and engagement with a focus on equity with goals that include designing and implementing a holistic advising model that supports students from entry to completion, increasing progression and completion for students on a path, increasing access and enrollment, and professional development. The vice president of academic affairs is also the main di- rector for instructional planning and budgets who coordinates and participates in budget updates and budget meetings. The dean of academic transfer programs oversees programs such as the Honors program, the MESA (or STEM program), the Puente program, Umoja Black Scholars Program, and the AANAPISI program. Finally, the dean of Workforce and Bachelor of Applied Science oversees the bachelor’s degree programs, which include cybersecurity and forensics, respiratory care, global trade and Local elections may matter the most logistics, youth development, integrated design, and teaching and early learning.
