Minutes

Present: Dudley Foster, Eloise Cantrell, Rudy De La Torre, David Jones, Victoria Hansen, Angela Merrill, John Cantley

The matrix for reporting information for the Pilot Program was introduced in hard copy. The form has several parts that were explained. The box for evidence was emphasized as being very important. It was announced that this form would be means by which each standard will record its ongoing study under the standard. Hard copy for use in note-taking and for preparing a rough draft is available for download from the accreditation pages on the LAMC web site. The matrix will be available on-line for the standard's writers to update more permanently at the same web page. These forms will be available for read/write privileges only for the standard team members and the accreditation co-chairs until final draft is ready.

The January 6, 2000 pilot program workshop at LAMC was announced. The committee was reminded that there would need to be representatives from Standard 2 at the workshop and that the first part of the matrix would be the subject. It is expected that representatives from the district, the D.A.S., the unions, the board and others will be available that day as resource people.

The team began a discussion on the sub-sections of the standard. David Jones presented a preliminary look at the description in each section he had prepared in advance. Each member of the committee chose one or more subsections to pursue using the preliminary input as a guide.

Some discussion centered on the need for a revival of the equity committee on campus.

The committee agreed to meet before the holiday break.
