  • ASHC Welcomes Dr. Hsieh and Trustees to Townhall 400 Enjoy Gala
    Nov. 22, 2019 Note to readers: The President’s Weekly Report will take a break for the Thanksgiving holiday and resume the following week. ASHC welcomes Dr. Hsieh and trustees to Townhall Members of the Hartnell Community College District Board of Trustees and I were delighted on Nov. 18 to participate in a Townhall Meeting organized by the Associated Students of Hartnell College (ASHC). Joined by ASHC President and Student Trustee Samantha Saldana, who helped initiate this opportunity for dialogue, we each shared information about our personal backgrounds and why we are inspired to serve Hartnell College. About 50 students attended the event in the Student Center on Main Campus, and they asked thoughtful questions about how to support and honor student diversity at Hartnell and how the college will maintain high-quality student services on its satellite campuses, including the new centers being constructed in Soledad and Castroville. ASHC Secretary Robert Cali Rendon served as moderator. I know all of the trustees who participated shared the sentiment expressed by Board President Aurelio Salazar Jr., who said at the Nov. 19 board meeting that he looked forward to another town hall session in the future. (Pictured, from left: Superintendent-President Dr. Patricia Hsieh, Vice President Pat Donohue, President Aurelio Salazar Jr., Trustee Manuel Osorio, Trustee Candi DePauw, Trustee Erica Padilla-Chavez and Student Trustee Samantha Saldana.) 400 enjoy gala in support of arts programs at Hartnell The 2019 Black & White Gala for the Arts drew a crowd of 400 people who enjoyed a reception and silent auction (pictured) in the Willard Lewallen STEM Center, followed by an exclusive performance of “Evita” by The Western Stage in the Mainstage Theater.

  • Analysis of the America Rescue Plan Federal Stimulus
    MEMO March 12, 2021 TO: Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley Chief Executive Officers Chief Business Officers Chief Student Services Officers Chief Instructional Officers FROM: Lizette Navarette, Vice Chancellor, College Finance and Facilities Planning David O’ Brien, Vice Chancellor, Government Relations RE: Analysis of the America Rescue Plan Federal Stimulus Summary On Thursday, March 11, 2021, President Joe Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan into law. The new federal stimulus includes a robust investment in higher education with resources available for a longer period of time. Half of the resources each colleges receives will go to support direct emergency grants to students. Bill Details The new federal Coronavirus stimulus bill earmarks nearly $170 billion for education, including $39.6 billion for a third round of funding into the Higher Education Emergency Relief (HEER) Fund. The HEER III dollars will be allocated using the same methodology as the previous two iterations (with some slight modifications) and requires institutions that receive this funding to allocate at least 50% of those dollars to students in the form of emergency grants. One welcome distinction over previous stimulus bills is that the American Rescue Plan specifies funds will be available for use by institutions through September 30, 2023. Specifically, the $39 billion investment in the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund will be distributed as follows: • 37.5 percent based on FTE Pell recipients, not exclusively enrolled in distance education courses prior to the emergency; • 37.5 percent based on headcount Pell recipients; • 11.5 percent based on overall FTE students; • 11.5 percent based on overall headcount of students; • 1 percent based on FTE Pell exclusively online recipients (may only be used for student grants); and • 1 percent based on headcount Pell exclusively online recipients (may only be used for student grants).

  • Faculty and Staff Diversity at College of Marin, the Bay Area 10, and Santa Rosa Junior College September 2015
    Faculty and Staff Diversity at College of Marin, the Bay Area 10, and Santa Rosa Junior College September 2015 Introduction This research compares College of Marin (COM) to the 20 community colleges at the other 9 districts in the Bay Area (Bay-10) and Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC). Using the Fall 2014 data from the California Community College Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) DataMart, we looked at each college’s employee diversity and the extent to which it reflects the student population. The purpose of this research is to help inform the process of student equity planning. Recent research found improved academic performance and long-term outcomes for minority students who are taught by minority faculty. Based on this research, the Community College League of California (CCLC) has recommended that faculty members reflecting the diversity of the student population participate in the formulation and implementation of the schools’ student equity plans.1 Therefore this report is particularly concerned with noting disparities between minority student populations and faculty, though we include comparisons by college for all employees, and disaggregated by faculty, classified staff, and administration. For each major race/ethnic category, we considered differences of less than 2 percentage points between the student population and employees as equivalent. In some cases, the percentage gap is much larger than 2%. While there is no research standard for gauging the equivalence of race/ethnicity, we are setting a conservative standard of equivalence to assure that statistical differences are highlighted. In practice, in terms of whether students are likely to see themselves represented among campus employees, this may be a narrow band, but the purpose of this report is to show the differences in the data so that colleges can use it for their own planning.
