Non-Voting Members Present: Megan Bottoms, Bill Manges, Martin Morozowsky , and Kathleen Sell Call to Order The meeting commenced at 12:51 p.m. without quorum. Approval of the November 29, 2018 Minutes Quorum was achieved later in the meeting. Paul motioned approval of the minutes. Mehran seconded. Motion carried with one abstention. Accreditation Spring Timeline and Draft Review The accreditation timeline was reviewed. For Standard III, which this council bears responsibility for reviewing, there is a little additional time to complete the draft. The work will need to be completed by May for submission to EPOC. The Technology section and the Facilities section are largely completed. A portion of the Financial section requires consultation and consideration of District policies. The Human Resources section is all Board policy which has been noted in the document but now requires narrative writing to be added. Once writing has been completed, evidence documentation needs to take place. Vision for Success Goal Alignment The Aligning Strategic Goals with Vision for Success 2021 – 2022 draft metrics developed at the January 10, 2019 retreat was reviewed. The five goals were identified as key performance and their corresponding metrics, along with goal setting rationale and implementation strategies/action plans were discussed. A question was raised regarding how the interventions noted throughout the document will work towards achieving the set goals. Human Resources Professional Development Plans The management plan still needs to be forwarded through the Human Resources Committee which has not yet met. Once it has been forwarded all three plans, classified, faculty, and management will be approved through this body and forwarded to EPOC for final adoption. The status of the classified professional development coordinator position approved in the fall was discussed. Human Resources is still reviewing the job description. Once CSEA receives and approves it, the recruitment process can begin. Committee Reports Technology Resources – Patrick shared there has been work towards addressing Standard III within the Technology Plan. A final draft of the document should be ready to be voted upon at the March RD&AS meeting. There was a presentation from iFactory, the website redesign consultant, presented to the project working group on February 19. One of the biggest challenges will be in creating a forward facing website which focuses on student and potential student content rather than one with the large amounts of internal facing information. The Digital Library Auditorium project will begin taking place over the summer and will provide a much needed update to the technology used in the space. Financial Resources – Amber shared the group has not yet met, however, recruitment of the Director of Business Services position is underway. Human Resources – As mentioned previously, the primary focus of this group has been in completing the professional development plans. Physical Resources – The proposal for the removable campus bollard installation was discussed. A question of how long on average it will take for each bollard to be removed in the event of an emergency requiring service vehicles to enter the campus was raised. Mehran indicated on average it will take between two to five minutes to remove them. Paul O’Connell motioned for the proposal to be forwarded to CTA and CSEA. Amber seconded the motion. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned 1:50pm. Strategic Planning Report Card March 2019 Overview Riverside City College formally committed to using the Guided Pathways framework in spring 2017 with the application to the California Guided Pathways Project. This project built on work the college had already begun, restructuring itself around a pathways model. The Guided Pathways framework is informing discipline and department planning and initiatives designed to increase student success. Guided Pathways is aligned with the college’s Educational Master Plan and the 2015-2020 Strategic Plan, improving student success and completion, closing equity gaps and ultimately increasing students’ economic mobility. While the Guided Pathways framework is a national model, RCC’s work on pathways has been evolving since as 2013. Adding another layer, the state Chancellor’s Office has recently released its Vision for Success which establishes clear goals for improvement system-wide. During winter 2019, strategic planning leadership engaged college stakeholders in a discussion about how existing initiatives and metrics align with the Vision and its goals. This Strategic Planning Report Card includes the status of Riverside City College’s planning efforts and progress through 2018. The Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) included provide a baseline to gauge the college’s progress in achieving its strategic goals focused on student success and completion. While this document contains select statistics, the Office of Institutional Effectiveness has produced a number of additional metrics which can be used at the department and discipline levels. These reports are available in Nuventive Improve’s document repository. The information in this report card can be used to help inform the college’s Guided Pathways work, accreditation, and the upcoming strategic planning cycle. In addition to this report, the college’s leadership team is planning to present an overview of the college’s 2015-2020 Strategic Plan progress to groups including the Academic Senate, ASRCC, CSEA, DLC, PLT, EPOC and the other Leadership Councils, and the Equity Committee. The presentation will include not only an overview of our progress, but an opportunity to discuss next steps guided by questions including: - What does the information in this report mean to you? - What did you learn about the college? - What questions still need to be answered? - What are you proud of? - Where should our priorities be for the next 1, 3, and 5 years? - What do you need to support your work? Page 1 of 27 Current as of 3/15/2019 Guided Pathways One important part of sustaining the changes needed to fully implement Guided Pathways is revising the college’s structure. The college is reorganizing how academic support is delivered, revising the onboarding process, and moving to a caseload model for counseling. Designing “with the end in mind” is a key aspect of Guided Pathways. Supporting this effort, the college appointed a Guided Pathways Coordinator in summer 2018. During fall 2018 term, the coordinator worked with departments to finalize program maps. The college is also improving the students’ intake process including implementing two-term registration beginning in winter 2019. As the college more completely transforms into a Guided Pathways institution, “clarifying the path” for students’ educational goals is critical. Therefore, in spring 2018, college faculty collaborated across disciplines and created the first drafts of the college’s program maps. These first drafts focused mainly on course- taking recommendations and established initial information about co-curricular milestones and career choices. In fall 2018, faculty regrouped to refine the program maps including finalizing milestones and career information. The work was divided into three phases: Phase 1 Focused on completing the maps guiding students toward completion of
