Brief Abstract: (How does position impact present area status, affect workload reduction, impact students or provide support/services?) RP510-21ASH1-2191-644000

The workload that our department is currently preforming requires all of the administration staffing at 12 months. We constantly serve all students on campus on a year-round basis. Various tasks assigned to the Department Assistant III (DAIII) are needed to be completed by a DAII and are not able to be completed by the current student workers, who have daily assigned tasks but no access to the Student Health Sharedrive. It is very difficult to assign a project to a student worker who may start the project then will have to leave due to the hours they are assigned to work. So we are unable to assign various projects that must be completed in a timely fashion. If the student workers require timeoff or call in ill puts a strain on our Department, leaving only our current DAIII to complete the front counter duties as well as her daily task. If the DAIII is out for any reason, the daily administrative assignments are unable to be task to the student workers. Our front staffing (non-classified, students only) is very minimal and need to be able to assist our students in person as well as over the phone with questions to ensure student success.

Rationale and Applicability to College Strategic Goals: (Substantiate recommendations with data and the guidelines listed in the Budget Decision Criteria document and College Strategic Goals. Does this need fulfill a compliance/mandated position, i.e. State, Federal, regulatory boards, contracts? Does this need address grant partnership commitments and/or critical community needs?) Impact on College/District if position is not filled: (Include how having the position or not having the position impacts FTES, services to students.) The responsibilities of this position are centered on student services specific to the Student Health and Wellness Center. This includes student tracking as currently we are using student workers to provide this service. Allowing for inconsistencies with inherent abscesses due to personal and academic demands. Support service and sustainability of the Health Center would be jeopardized since this position is solely student service driven. Failure to institutionalize this position will negatively impact student success as well as cause us to be non-compliant in regards to sustaining HIPPA and FERPA requirements.
