Intercultural Programs/Multicultural Constituency Presentation (John Butzer)

John Butzer presented to Student Government on the Multicultural constituency. He explained his mission as a representative in this area. The name changes of the constituency from Multicultural Programs to Intercultural Programs because it is more inclusive and supportive of the exchange the center would like to focus on. He promoted events that will be held by the Intercultural Center. Butzer, explained his method of outreach to his constituents. We aims to find out how the university can better meet student’s needs and what he can do to make this change.

Motion by Yepez to change Multicultural Senator title to Intercultural Senator. Second by Forrester, Passes unanimously

Provost and AVP of Academic Affairs (Dr. Hutchinson – Time Certain 9:30 a.m.)

Presented the Strategic Planning presentation to the Student Government. Purpose is to guide the university and make informed decisions so that we stay on track.

Strategic Priority- facilitates student success and defining what it means, it begins with access. Once we have them in the door how do we support them? It has to be more than a productivity measure, we want to get more students to graduate and have them take less time but still have a wholesome experience.

High Quality Edu- rigor of courses and education. Making sure you get the best content, knowledge skill, but also applied. The courses where you learn a lot from the content and also from how you applied it.

Realizing Our Future- Organizational development, committee structure and where you contribute. Building sustainable infrastructure, leveraging the use of technology. Seeking public and private

This typically happens in five-year spurts. As we revise this plan, the mission statement is the same and our priorities are the same but the way we go about achieving these is the same.

Sanders: Didn’t realize how many definitions of student success there are, so it is very important for us to define it. I appreciate that is collaborates with our mission. Question about assessment, when we have a new plan, how do we look back on the previous plan and see what we need to change?

Hutchinson: The detail is going to be in the five areas, they are going to be developing their strategic plan specifically and how they measure their goal. This also helps see where we need t put our money when we get funding. We have not done that part yet. President Rush wanted us to have community meetings. We had one is Oxnard, and in Camarillo and the next one is in Santa Barbara in early December. Another time we could bring more specific division plans. We want to align our budget plans closer to our strategic plans.

Bahena: Is there a specific date for December

Hutchinson: Not yet

Sanders: I will share the date because I get the invitation

Hutchinson: We have had community colleges, corporations, businesses and many service men and women. Conversation about transferability, making sure students have practical application, quantitative skills and working with teams. How does CI help students gain entry into the work force.

Sanders: with the community asking how students will be prepared, could you share more about the academic master plan that will help take us to the next level, were not competing but are nationally recognized.

Hutchinson: That is complicated, think about our enrollment, we just hit the 6,000 student mar and thee is significant change in the student body. We have as the Master Plan shows, capacity to grow. Challenge as we grow is how we can get the state and the CSU to give us more resources, and that way we can see our trajectory be steady. We need enough classes, parking, courses, and quality faculty. Making sure we keep the intimate feel.

Sanders: Diversity of faculty, making sure the faculty look like the students. What are some things we do here on campus to ensure that. We incorporate language that makes sure they embrace diversity. Not just diversity but also interdisciplinary courses. We have to rely on other opportunity professional journals for African American or Latino or others to recruit and use our networks. There are many colleagues who know of up and coming underrepresented faculty. It is difficult but our commitment is strong and our efforts are great. We diversified out ranks but with time we will get better at it.

Sanders: At the beginning of the year, we talked about inclusive language. I wasn’t sure if there is a way that we as students could move these efforts forward. I know there is the balance of academic freedom but how can we help influence that.

Hutchinson: One of the issues that always came up for me was we spend lot of time with our students but we do very little to check the perceptions and biases of our faculty. Even faculty ho you think are most diverse. We have the CME, with Julia Balen and approaching her with the idea of a workshop with students and have a partnership with Academic Affairs, and the trick would be having students and faculty.

Zaki: you said there were 200 applicants

Hutchinson: There were 1400 applicants but only 2100 spots

Zaki: Do you know the direction the school si taking for how we accept applications are we going more for diversity or grades

Hutchinson: We have criteria set up; let me get it for you.
