Vero--next agenda
Terrence distributed results and summary of his campus climate
survey, and answered questions about his methods and his findings.
He encouraged people to look at the entire report online; there may
be material for follow-up studies re: some of the findings such as
the one suggesting older male student dissatisfaction. The group
decided, in view of the findings about student concerns re: hate
crimes, to ask Marty and the I-Team to bring the draft hate crime
policy to the district board of trustees in an expedited manner
rather than waiting for the rest of the policy changes to be
completed. Leah will follow up to give this to Marty.
Terrence brought a second draft of bylaws with some additions. There
is a need to discuss both how the committee wants to relate to the
college structure, and leadership within the STG. We felt it would
be good to have a direct reporting relationship to the college
president, but also report to other college bodies as needed.
Terrence will reword and bring again. Leadership will be on the next
agenda.
Staff Development day meetings were productive and large. Jan led
great discussions. The typed results will be considered at a special
meeting Monday March 3 at 2 p.m. for planning for 2003--04
The Asian-American display was praised; it leaves March 3. It had a
big impact on young Science Alive visitors.
Signups were taken for a potluck celebrating STG's one-year
anniversary this Weds/ Feb. 26. Jan has reserved a room, and we will
ask everyone to bring a friend.
Vercila reported that six very interesting African-American locals
are willing to talk about African-American life for a video project
she is working on. We will miss Black History Month, but not Black
History!
Discussion of a draft by Karen and Leah on domestic partners
benefits.(Marty stood aside from this discussion.) Some suggested
additions will be be made and it will be brought back by the same
duo. Audren reported on Cabrillo's domestic partner policy; she and
Karen will look for other examples.
The group approved a PSA on budget cuts that Leah drafted; Jan is
working with Marilyn to get students involved and telling their
stories; the content of the PSA was okayed though it will change as
students rework parts. It was requested that this also be shot in
Spanish.
Women's History Month event will take place March 25 and will
involve daffodils from the Daffodil Days drive, and other flowers,
available to be presented in appreciation to women (and men?) who
have made a difference for others. Audren will bring an invitation
draft to the next meeting. Several people agreed to float money for
daffodils and see if it can be recovered later from CSEA, ASB, etc.
Jan will check on getting the gazebo and/or the library gallery in
case of rain. Leah will bring the checklist so we can use it at the
next meeting re: this event.
Antiwar/nonviolence work--Karen will email Leslie, Suzanne, and Joy
to get a meeting together to discuss a Gavilan response. to the Iraq
war.
Leslie reported that the ASB will sponsor two or even three buses to
Sacramento on March 17 for Lobby Day. Meanwhile there will also be
tabling on campus. She gave out posters with information about Lobby
Day and encouraged people to get interested students' contact info
to her.
Next agenda: bylaws, leadership, work party (a request by Leah),
planning group report, women's history month, Lobby Day.
