00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,550
Hello, my name is
Emanuel Magana and I'm

2
00:00:08,550 --> 00:00:09,360
one of the co-chairs for

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,620
the Student Access, Success

4
00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:12,285
and Equity Task Force.

5
00:00:12,285 --> 00:00:13,500
My goal today will be to

6
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:14,370
talk to you about the four

7
00:00:14,370 --> 00:00:16,545
recommendations that our
Task Force has made.

8
00:00:16,545 --> 00:00:18,165
Our first recommendation

9
00:00:18,165 --> 00:00:19,860
would be decolonizing data.

10
00:00:19,860 --> 00:00:21,240
The hope would
be to find more

11
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:22,350
equitable ways to collect

12
00:00:22,350 --> 00:00:23,850
data that does not
further cause

13
00:00:23,850 --> 00:00:25,650
harm to vulnerable
populations.

14
00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:27,540
We want to create more
sound data when

15
00:00:27,540 --> 00:00:29,610
comparing inequities and
racial divides.

16
00:00:29,610 --> 00:00:30,900
We hope to have
a committee to

17
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:32,790
research what other
institutions are doing.

18
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:33,720
Create and implement

19
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,205
a virtual data equity walk,

20
00:00:35,205 --> 00:00:38,020
and create public trainings
for all departments.

21
00:00:38,020 --> 00:00:39,934
Our second recommendation

22
00:00:39,934 --> 00:00:41,135
would be a student
communication

23
00:00:41,135 --> 00:00:42,605
equity lens or framework.

24
00:00:42,605 --> 00:00:43,640
We want to work with UCOMM

25
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,960
or current work groups

26
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:45,470
that are addressing

27
00:00:45,470 --> 00:00:47,254
campus-wide student
communication.

28
00:00:47,254 --> 00:00:48,980
We want to create an
equity framework for

29
00:00:48,980 --> 00:00:50,300
all departments to use when

30
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:51,635
communicating
with students.

31
00:00:51,635 --> 00:00:52,970
We want to address
the barriers to

32
00:00:52,970 --> 00:00:54,424
accessing information,

33
00:00:54,424 --> 00:00:55,880
to resources, as well

34
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,305
as identify and eliminate,

35
00:00:57,305 --> 00:00:59,690
prevent racial
microaggressions and ensure

36
00:00:59,690 --> 00:01:01,100
an equity lens is used to

37
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:03,875
inform and shape
institutional messaging.

38
00:01:03,875 --> 00:01:05,930
The third recommendation is

39
00:01:05,930 --> 00:01:08,105
a first-generation
student led training.

40
00:01:08,105 --> 00:01:09,560
The goal would be to have a committee

41
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,090
of first-generation
college students.

42
00:01:11,090 --> 00:01:12,470
that could create
training for

43
00:01:12,470 --> 00:01:14,240
staff and faculty to

44
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,695
help them better

45
00:01:15,695 --> 00:01:17,915
serve first-generation
college students.

46
00:01:17,915 --> 00:01:19,730
The staff who complete
this training

47
00:01:19,730 --> 00:01:20,975
become part of a network

48
00:01:20,975 --> 00:01:23,270
focused on prioritizing
any issues for

49
00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:25,220
first-generation
college students.

50
00:01:25,220 --> 00:01:25,940
We want to be able

51
00:01:25,940 --> 00:01:27,320
to improve student
retention,

52
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:28,100
as well as make

53
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:29,240
first-generation
college students

54
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,235
more visible for support.

55
00:01:31,235 --> 00:01:33,290
Our fourth
recommendation would

56
00:01:33,290 --> 00:01:35,120
be addressing
student economics.

57
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,560
We'd like to create
a committee who

58
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,240
specializes in
equity to review

59
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,920
the process and
policies for

60
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,200
student accounts
and financial aid.

61
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,070
We hope to create,

62
00:01:43,070 --> 00:01:44,210
implement new policies and

63
00:01:44,210 --> 00:01:46,160
processes based
off the results.

64
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,900
We also hope to
expand all

65
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:50,735
front-facing hours to meet
the needs of students.

66
00:01:50,735 --> 00:01:53,000
Thank you so much
and we look

67
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,470
forward to
hearing your comments.
