WEBVTT 1 00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:20.720 Clarke, Chris: Are we waiting until we get enough for a quorum before we start, or… 2 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.160 Clarke, Chris: And Renee, do you know… How many we need to… 3 00:05:26.630 --> 00:05:27.829 Clarke, Chris: To be able to do that? 4 00:05:29.710 --> 00:05:37.409 Vigil, Renee: No, the meeting should be started. I'm just waiting to see if Rebecca's gonna hop on, because I know she had a meeting right before this. Yeah, there she is. 5 00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:42.830 Clarke, Chris: And how many do we need to… 6 00:05:42.830 --> 00:05:43.180 Fisher, Tracy: of. 7 00:05:43.180 --> 00:05:44.130 Clarke, Chris: Make a quote. 8 00:05:44.670 --> 00:05:47.850 Goldware, Rebeccah: Hi, I'm sorry, I had to, like, reconnect my… 9 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:49.620 Clarke, Chris: Zoom and… 10 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.539 Goldware, Rebeccah: And blah blah. So… 11 00:05:56.300 --> 00:06:00.649 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, I missed part of it. Renee, who are we missing? 12 00:06:07.060 --> 00:06:14.359 Vigil, Renee: I'm double checking right now, but I think we're just missing a few others. You have forums, so you can technically start. 13 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.210 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, Tracy, are you ready? 14 00:06:16.700 --> 00:06:17.190 Fisher, Tracy: Okay. 15 00:06:17.190 --> 00:06:17.910 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay. 16 00:06:19.320 --> 00:06:32.970 Goldware, Rebeccah: So, we'll do Carl to order, we'll do welcomed, around, because, you know, we don't get to meet very often, and I'm not sure that this… this group has met before. So, I'm Rebecca Older, I'm the Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement and Economic Development, and Tracy. 17 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:39.250 Fisher, Tracy: I'm Tracy Fisher, I'm the Director of the Center for Social Justice and Civil Liberties. 18 00:06:40.860 --> 00:06:41.550 Goldware, Rebeccah: Star? 19 00:06:42.820 --> 00:06:52.040 Star Taylor: Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Star Taylor, Professor of English at RCC, Vice President of our Academic Senate, and glad to be here. 20 00:06:52.310 --> 00:06:53.849 Goldware, Rebeccah: Thank you. Is it Sedine? 21 00:06:55.940 --> 00:07:01.669 Sabean Scott: Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Sabine Scott, Instructional Department Coordinator at Moreno Valley College. 22 00:07:02.050 --> 00:07:03.430 Goldware, Rebeccah: Thank you, and Chris. 23 00:07:04.900 --> 00:07:11.400 Clarke, Chris: Hey everybody, Chris Clark here. I'm the Executive Director of External Relations and Strategic Communications. 24 00:07:11.830 --> 00:07:12.800 Goldware, Rebeccah: Mache. 25 00:07:13.750 --> 00:07:21.629 Rodriguez, LaShe: Hi, good afternoon, everyone. I'm Lashay Rodriguez, the Director of Government Relations for the District. My video's not working, so I have to use my avatar today. 26 00:07:21.630 --> 00:07:27.910 Goldware, Rebeccah: You're hilarious, I've not seen this avatar, only Deb has the only one that I've seen with an avatar. This is great, okay. 27 00:07:29.610 --> 00:07:46.720 Goldware, Rebeccah: Attached, I think it's starting on page 2, are the, minutes from the last time, and the group has changed a little bit. Sabine, I think you and I and Chris are the only ones that were here. Oh, and Tracy. So, 28 00:07:46.990 --> 00:07:55.899 Goldware, Rebeccah: If there are any questions, comments on the minutes last time, I would like to take a motion, because these are things that go back to DSPC. 29 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.989 Goldware, Rebeccah: So when anybody's ever ready for a motion on the minutes. 30 00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:40.369 Star Taylor: So, Rebecca, can we move, even if we were not in attendance? Yeah. Okay. 31 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:45.659 Goldware, Rebeccah: You're not… you're voting that the information is provided, not necessarily that it's correct. 32 00:08:45.660 --> 00:08:50.539 Star Taylor: Okay, so I move that we accept the minutes from the… is it April? 33 00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:51.790 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yes? 34 00:08:52.030 --> 00:08:52.750 Star Taylor: April meeting. 35 00:08:52.930 --> 00:08:55.509 Goldware, Rebeccah: Thank you, Star. Can I get a second? 36 00:08:56.830 --> 00:08:57.460 Fisher, Tracy: Beckett? 37 00:08:57.460 --> 00:09:00.379 Goldware, Rebeccah: Thank you. Is there anybody opposed? 38 00:09:01.250 --> 00:09:02.450 Goldware, Rebeccah: or abstaining. 39 00:09:03.630 --> 00:09:07.170 Goldware, Rebeccah: Then we will take them by consensus, thank you. 40 00:09:07.420 --> 00:09:19.280 Goldware, Rebeccah: We've got, under goals and activities, and one of the things that we'll ask about, at the end is other ideas, future ideas for, discussion, but at this point, I'm going to turn it over to Lachey. 41 00:09:19.280 --> 00:09:29.559 Goldware, Rebeccah: To kind of walk through our legislative plan, just to share a brief update with y'all, and then if there are questions, concerns, this is what was presented to, the Board of Trustees. 42 00:09:29.560 --> 00:09:35.139 Goldware, Rebeccah: For their consideration, and it will be up for a vote at this next meeting. 43 00:09:37.780 --> 00:09:54.639 Rodriguez, LaShe: Great, thank you so much for that, Rebecca. Yes, so, at the board meeting, I was able to provide them with a plan for our upcoming legislative, calendar. Seeing that the, conversely, we have now gone out of the government shutdown, we can now move forward with a continuing resolution that will go till January 30th. 44 00:09:54.640 --> 00:10:07.429 Rodriguez, LaShe: As of right now, we've had us over several different topics of priorities that we've had. I do, to share my screen… well, I can't share my screen now, because I won't do it with Avatar. But we had, various 45 00:10:07.430 --> 00:10:25.549 Rodriguez, LaShe: priorities such as student housing, addressing financial aid fraud, in addition to financial aid, expansion for students, who have DACA, immigration, multi-mixed immigration status, as well as expanding the amount of financial aid to be available. We also have, district, 46 00:10:25.550 --> 00:10:37.649 Rodriguez, LaShe: capital overlay plan and maintenance as part of our priority, in addition to looking at expansion through the Marino Valley School of Public Safety, and looking at our different 47 00:10:37.650 --> 00:11:02.449 Rodriguez, LaShe: work… excuse me, workforce pipeline projects that we have going on through the Inland Empire Technical Trade Center, as well as addressing different student basic needs and our student diverse populations, such as students with disabilities or LGBTQIU, as well as working class students as well. So we have quite a bit, of, priorities that we're going under. It does fall under the State Chancellor's 2030 vision program, so we are 48 00:11:02.450 --> 00:11:25.629 Rodriguez, LaShe: looking at access and equity, access, or equity and access, equity and support and equity and success, that we can provide. So, coming for 2026, it looks like we're going to be a little bit more on the defense mode, federally, as we're looking to protect the Department of Education, as well as some of the workforce, funding that we receive, as well as grants, so that we can continue providing services to students. 49 00:11:26.530 --> 00:11:49.880 Rodriguez, LaShe: And when we look at the state side, we're looking to see how some of those potential shortcomings coming federally may impact us on the state, and how the governor plans to fill those gaps. So, we're keeping, you know, our foot on the ground about that, and seeing what that's going to look like as far as what will be available to us, and making sure our members are staying informed about that. So we are planning to do some legislative visits coming up in January. 50 00:11:49.880 --> 00:12:14.199 Rodriguez, LaShe: going to Sacramento to visit our state assembly and senators, and we are looking to see what things may possibly look like in DC. By that time, the continuing resolution will be ending, so we're not sure if we'll be in a full new budget for the legislative cycle, or if we'll be in another resolution going for another 90 days. So, there's still a lot of uncertainty on that, but we'll continue to make sure that we express some of the challenges and barriers that these 51 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:38.829 Rodriguez, LaShe: changes in executive orders may have impacting our students and our staff, to our legislators, so they can stay informed and to help advocate on our behalf. With the recent passage of Prop 50, we now have a new district line. We had, Congressman Takano, who now covers… who does cover, both campuses of Moreno Valley and Riverside, but now the Norco campus, which was formerly covered by Congressman Calvert, is now by Congresswoman Torres. 52 00:12:38.830 --> 00:12:52.320 Rodriguez, LaShe: So we have a new legislator in the area that we can now work with on advocating for additional funding. So, and I know that she's been great partners with Congressman Takano, who's been a great partner and advocate for us, so we look forward to that partnership on that end. 53 00:12:52.320 --> 00:13:04.659 Rodriguez, LaShe: Coming up on that, and so we are looking at the fact that 2026 is an election year, so we will have our primaries coming up and looking at action plans to engage students, as well as, our legislatures on, 54 00:13:04.980 --> 00:13:28.269 Rodriguez, LaShe: just our planning, but also seeing who's going to be running up and who's going against, and just trying to stay informed on who these candidates are and who may potentially be some of our new elected offices. And I'm also looking here locally, too, because we do have some local seats coming up through our state and our county supervisors, so making sure that we're staying informed on that. We actually recently had a educational update of the chancellor 55 00:13:28.270 --> 00:13:52.130 Rodriguez, LaShe: provided to the Board of Supervisors about last week, giving them an update on some of our workforce economic development initiatives to the board, so they can stay engaged with us and keep us on their radar, especially as they're looking for funding from the state when we're looking at workforce opportunities, Loyola authorization, as well as housing and affordable student housing opportunities with the county, and to expand and strengthen that 56 00:13:52.130 --> 00:14:09.480 Rodriguez, LaShe: partnership with them. So, it was well received, and we look forward to continuing working with our county supervisors as our local legislators. So, I think that's kind of a good little snapshot of things I've been working on this year, but also what we have forward to looking into 2026. 57 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:14.369 Goldware, Rebeccah: Any questions for Lachey? 58 00:14:14.850 --> 00:14:15.820 Goldware, Rebeccah: Go ahead, sir. 59 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:26.300 Star Taylor: Thank you, Lachey, that was a whole lot. Is there any way you could send out a synopsis of what you went through? What you just read? 60 00:14:26.430 --> 00:14:27.060 Rodriguez, LaShe: Sure. 61 00:14:27.510 --> 00:14:33.619 Goldware, Rebeccah: I was gonna say, can you send your presentation along with the, the attachment of the LEDGE program? 62 00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:40.240 Rodriguez, LaShe: Yes, yes, I was hoping to be able to have that today on my screen, but it just wasn't working, but yes, I will send that to the group right after. 63 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:45.779 Goldware, Rebeccah: That would be great. If you could just send it to that civic engagement email, that way everybody will get it, that would be great. Perfect. 64 00:14:49.060 --> 00:14:50.190 Goldware, Rebeccah: Anything else? 65 00:14:54.860 --> 00:14:57.430 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay. Thank you, Lachey. 66 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:15.179 Goldware, Rebeccah: this kind of drives and ties into the next item. 2026 is the election year, there's a lot of stuff going on. From the college perspective, Tracy's got stuff that she can do at the center, 67 00:15:15.540 --> 00:15:18.320 Goldware, Rebeccah: But what… things… 68 00:15:18.510 --> 00:15:23.489 Goldware, Rebeccah: Do you think we need to be focused on, right? Civic engagement is meant to be pretty broad and 69 00:15:23.490 --> 00:15:39.510 Goldware, Rebeccah: the areas that we can engage and support. So, one of the things that my group would need to know, specifically Lachey, but then also how this committee may or may not be able to support with, the operational piece of it, because I don't want the committee to get in college, like, activity work, but set, kind of. 70 00:15:39.510 --> 00:15:48.470 Goldware, Rebeccah: platform of where we can go. So what do you all think that this committee can do to support the colleges and the work that they're doing at the 71 00:15:48.730 --> 00:15:57.940 Goldware, Rebeccah: campus level, and then outreach into the greater community if and where we need to, supporting the work that Tracy does in her day job with the Center, and how the Center can be more of a resource. 72 00:15:57.940 --> 00:16:19.049 Goldware, Rebeccah: And the ways that this committee can support it. Again, I don't want to get in the work that Tracy does, but create that overarching umbrella so that she can have this space where that work happens. So, as we look forward to 26, because this committee's not going to meet probably more than once a primary semester, unless there's something coming up and we need to, but what is it that y'all… 73 00:16:19.050 --> 00:16:20.370 Goldware, Rebeccah: Think we need to… 74 00:16:20.550 --> 00:16:37.900 Goldware, Rebeccah: kind of set some eyes for in the next year, in addition to the Ledge plan, or maybe there are things in the ledge plan once you get it, that you think we should focus on, which would also be fine. But I just kind of wanted to throw that out there. Tracy and I had started some conversations in that space, but, I think all three colleges have voting. 75 00:16:38.020 --> 00:16:41.659 Goldware, Rebeccah: Right, Lachey? They all… I think all three have voting connections to the county. 76 00:16:41.660 --> 00:16:58.140 Rodriguez, LaShe: Yes, they do. They either are designated as a vote center or a drop-off location, in addition to doing, student civic engagement, voter registration, and or inviting local electates to campuses to discuss some of the roles that they have. So, that's been some of the events I've been a part of with them. 77 00:16:58.400 --> 00:16:59.020 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yep. 78 00:16:59.130 --> 00:17:02.570 Goldware, Rebeccah: So… What else? What else do you think? 79 00:17:03.230 --> 00:17:06.159 Goldware, Rebeccah: Ideas, plans for this next year, we should be looking at. 80 00:17:08.579 --> 00:17:28.249 Star Taylor: Rebecca, if I may, sitting, in the academic senate seat, for RCC, it would be really helpful, because what Tracy does is, a huge lift when it comes to events and anything out of the center, but I think that this group could be more visible 81 00:17:28.249 --> 00:17:41.319 Star Taylor: In regards to keeping us abreast of what's going on statewide. Because I'm more than certain that the vast majority of RCC, Moreno Valley, and Norco don't know what's going on. 82 00:17:41.319 --> 00:18:04.979 Star Taylor: They may… they may know on our smaller scale, like in our immediate area, but just not maybe statewide. So I think having the information readily available for, the Senate to distribute, or the president to distribute, or just, maybe come on campus to have a talk, you know, when it comes to elections or any legislation… legislation. 83 00:18:04.979 --> 00:18:25.069 Star Taylor: I can talk. That would affect the work we do, college-wide and even district-wide, I think will be helpful, especially as we navigate the waters of all the ABs that I've come across that affect what we do on a day-to-day basis and affect our students. I think will be really, helpful to all of us. 84 00:18:26.090 --> 00:18:43.909 Goldware, Rebeccah: So, just to piece that apart a little bit, would it be… so, Lachey has… on government relations, there's, like, a tracker of all the bills that, on any given moment, that Lachey is following, and she sits on kind of an ad hoc committee with the state of government relations folks. 85 00:18:43.910 --> 00:18:48.190 Goldware, Rebeccah: And then there's a state resource. Like, would the Senate… 86 00:18:48.250 --> 00:19:01.869 Goldware, Rebeccah: I'm gonna focus on RCC. Would RCC want to see, like, even if it's just a written update to go to the Senate as opposed to a presentation that y'all have access to, maybe, like, each semester? It's certain… would that be… 87 00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:02.870 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay. 88 00:19:03.150 --> 00:19:14.940 Star Taylor: Would love it, would love it. That's why I wanted her to, send a synopsis of what she went through, because I… we have a Senate meeting on Monday, so it's very timely, so I can read off those themes, I mean… 89 00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:15.410 Goldware, Rebeccah: dates. 90 00:19:15.410 --> 00:19:33.860 Star Taylor: capture everything, but I can give an update to what, she presented, because it was great information, and I think that, the work that you all, have done and are doing, is important that a lot of us don't even know exist. So, I think to continue to be informed, I think that would be really helpful. 91 00:19:34.040 --> 00:19:38.880 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, Lachey, let's talk about that and what we can produce for the Senate's 92 00:19:39.280 --> 00:19:50.430 Goldware, Rebeccah: on a primary semester basis, so that way y'all will get an update. And I think it needs to go to the college senates versus the district senate, because I don't know that… 93 00:19:51.090 --> 00:20:03.949 Goldware, Rebeccah: I mean, we can send it to the three of them, too, but I think more people engage at the college level, right? So, I think more faculty will see it, and probably more classified, too. 94 00:20:03.950 --> 00:20:15.270 Star Taylor: They, they will, they will. So I think that I'm sending it out, campus-wide, so… so the college's presidents, vice president, and, secretary can have it. 95 00:20:15.670 --> 00:20:33.469 Star Taylor: at our local, meetings, and then, our president… our president at RCC right now sits in the district seat, so it's a double dip. So, all three of them meet, and then they can disseminate in their smaller group, so I think, it's a win-win. 96 00:20:33.690 --> 00:20:34.370 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay. 97 00:20:35.030 --> 00:20:35.580 Rodriguez, LaShe: You know… 98 00:20:35.580 --> 00:20:36.909 Goldware, Rebeccah: Go ahead, Chris. Yeah. 99 00:20:37.040 --> 00:20:38.730 Clarke, Chris: I'm almost thinking that… 100 00:20:39.150 --> 00:20:47.009 Rodriguez, LaShe: our monthly Chancellor's report that we do for government relations could be the foundation of that. Sure, just was thinking that, Chris. Sure. 101 00:20:47.010 --> 00:20:53.020 Goldware, Rebeccah: Let's start there from an operations standpoint. That may be… I'm not trying to have y'all do more work, that's not… 102 00:20:54.060 --> 00:20:54.770 Goldware, Rebeccah: That's what this is. 103 00:20:54.770 --> 00:21:04.339 Clarke, Chris: It would help it get better distributed, and it does have links to all of the pending legislation and everything already built into it, so… Yeah. 104 00:21:04.340 --> 00:21:05.930 Goldware, Rebeccah: And then somebody would read it. 105 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.259 Clarke, Chris: I think Trustee Thinn reads all… He does. 106 00:21:10.260 --> 00:21:11.930 Goldware, Rebeccah: You're right, Carrie does read it. That's true. 107 00:21:11.930 --> 00:21:14.869 Rodriguez, LaShe: Oh, yeah, yeah, I was just thinking along those lines, Chris, so… 108 00:21:14.870 --> 00:21:18.360 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, no, that's a good… good. I'm happy to not… Tracy, did you have something? 109 00:21:18.380 --> 00:21:22.979 Fisher, Tracy: I did, just to Star's point, and I'm just thinking about, 110 00:21:23.600 --> 00:21:29.969 Fisher, Tracy: I'm thinking about… and maybe this exists already, and I don't know, but, 111 00:21:30.100 --> 00:21:36.839 Fisher, Tracy: So, just… it does feel like right now we're really inundated with, 112 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:43.770 Fisher, Tracy: just a number of bills, and just… it's a shifting terrain, right? So, just thinking about… 113 00:21:44.420 --> 00:21:50.980 Fisher, Tracy: Are there mechanisms at place at the colleges for the students to stay up to date? 114 00:21:51.110 --> 00:21:58.090 Fisher, Tracy: on… On… on this, on this very, you know, like… if… 115 00:21:59.510 --> 00:22:15.959 Fisher, Tracy: if… if… if indeed, a lot of people don't know what the, what, you know, the kind of shifts and the changes in the bills, or what is on the table, I just wonder, not to give the students so much, but just, like, I don't know, just… 116 00:22:16.310 --> 00:22:26.719 Fisher, Tracy: are there… are there things already in place where they are aware of a lot of these kind of shifts and things that are happening? But maybe it's through the clubs on campus? Don't know, but I'm just. 117 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:27.070 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah. 118 00:22:27.820 --> 00:22:34.130 Goldware, Rebeccah: I'm thinking, yeah, Leslie, maybe we have a, you… let's find the best time, because… 119 00:22:34.520 --> 00:22:49.010 Goldware, Rebeccah: We, as we head towards the end of the semester, it may not be the best, but talking with ASRCC, because maybe we do the same thing that we're doing with the senates with the Student Association, and frankly, they may have some that they want us to follow that are not on the list. 120 00:22:49.480 --> 00:23:05.150 Rodriguez, LaShe: Yeah, that'd be great, and I know that we have the GR website where I do the tracking of legislation, as well as we have our legislative platform on there, and all of our elected offices, and their information on there, too, so that could be a good, just a useful tool… General. Some way to get it out there so that everyone knows where to, like, reach it. 121 00:23:05.820 --> 00:23:06.830 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah, agreed. 122 00:23:06.830 --> 00:23:18.350 Fisher, Tracy: what… what… and then I'll just say this one more thing. What I was thinking about in particular, and I think, Kala, this is their last year, but College Core, for example, might be a place for that, right? 123 00:23:18.350 --> 00:23:20.940 Goldware, Rebeccah: Sure. They're not… it's not getting renewed? 124 00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:23.310 Fisher, Tracy: The state hasn't said anything. 125 00:23:23.840 --> 00:23:25.950 Goldware, Rebeccah: For a calla? 126 00:23:25.950 --> 00:23:27.370 Fisher, Tracy: Yeah, I… I think… 127 00:23:27.370 --> 00:23:27.740 Goldware, Rebeccah: We don't know. 128 00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:30.070 Fisher, Tracy: Okay. I think this might be their last. 129 00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:31.180 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay. 130 00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:37.130 Fisher, Tracy: Yeah, but not for… but College Core will… is going on. So… 131 00:23:37.290 --> 00:23:37.750 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay. 132 00:23:37.750 --> 00:23:40.740 Fisher, Tracy: That's an, you know, a space in which 133 00:23:41.090 --> 00:23:46.420 Fisher, Tracy: they, I think, would be… you know, it's a great space for the… for that information to funnel through. 134 00:23:46.650 --> 00:23:47.300 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yes. 135 00:23:48.100 --> 00:23:48.930 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay. 136 00:23:49.400 --> 00:24:02.860 Goldware, Rebeccah: Any… so there's… we got a couple of pieces. Anything else for right now? We can keep coming back to this, like, this is something that we should keep doing, but right now, really, it's in Lachey space, so that we can engage and get information out, 137 00:24:03.170 --> 00:24:04.300 Goldware, Rebeccah: to people. 138 00:24:05.180 --> 00:24:06.400 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah. Okay. 139 00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:24.259 Sabean Scott: Oh, go ahead. I was just gonna add that at Moreno Valley College, we have the Mountain Lion Update, and it's a submission that goes out to MVC all, and that might be a good place to put updates on legislation and things happening as far as the election next year. 140 00:24:25.890 --> 00:24:26.700 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah. 141 00:24:27.110 --> 00:24:34.190 Goldware, Rebeccah: Lachey, when you go out there, who… who do you normally communicate with at NBC? Does, like, Mickey send stuff? Like, who sends stuff out? 142 00:24:34.190 --> 00:24:40.870 Rodriguez, LaShe: Rosalinda, mainly, are the two, probably Julio sometimes, just kind of depends on the event or what they're looking for in the engagement, but… 143 00:24:40.870 --> 00:24:44.739 Sabean Scott: Leslie Vargas has been sending out the Mountain Lion update. 144 00:24:44.740 --> 00:24:46.260 Rodriguez, LaShe: Yeah. Yeah. 145 00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:48.410 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay. 146 00:24:48.410 --> 00:24:49.100 Rodriguez, LaShe: Sure. 147 00:24:49.410 --> 00:24:53.119 Goldware, Rebeccah: Do any of the colleges have, 148 00:24:54.380 --> 00:25:08.200 Goldware, Rebeccah: I guess, committees like this as a counterpart, or no? Everybody's like, College Core is a thing with Kala, and they have their working group, but, like, I'm not sure that there are committees at the college level that… 149 00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:13.030 Goldware, Rebeccah: would mirror… Even doing the civic engagement stuff. 150 00:25:13.350 --> 00:25:18.550 Goldware, Rebeccah: Are you… Thank you, Star. I don't… I don't know, Tracy, you're not aware of anything, right? 151 00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:28.140 Fisher, Tracy: I'm not, I just know that each campus has, each college, rather, sorry, each college has a college core. 152 00:25:28.830 --> 00:25:29.620 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay. 153 00:25:29.650 --> 00:25:30.969 Fisher, Tracy: But, like. 154 00:25:30.970 --> 00:25:35.769 Goldware, Rebeccah: If somebody was doing a, A land acknowledgement. 155 00:25:36.410 --> 00:25:38.480 Goldware, Rebeccah: Like, there's not a committee… 156 00:25:38.840 --> 00:25:43.659 Fisher, Tracy: They would pick a committee that's already in existence and or form an ad hoc, right? 157 00:25:44.120 --> 00:25:51.210 Goldware, Rebeccah: to do… Sabine, you don't know anything. Sorry, I assume you would jump in if there was something unique at RCC, but… 158 00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:52.820 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay. 159 00:25:53.460 --> 00:25:56.109 Goldware, Rebeccah: Like, because one of the things… go ahead. 160 00:25:56.340 --> 00:26:14.569 Star Taylor: I think, the thing about, like, land acknowledgements and all that, I think those come when people… and we're in a meeting, like a big meeting like Flex, that's the only… I think the only meeting I've heard RCC do a land acknowledgement. I don't think that there's a separate committee 161 00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:15.620 Star Taylor: for that. 162 00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:22.049 Goldware, Rebeccah: So that work would happen in a vacuum, not up through… okay. And so this is… 163 00:26:22.330 --> 00:26:35.869 Goldware, Rebeccah: similar, but not… So Chris is running marketing, and some of the colleges have, like, their own marketing committee, and some of them don't. So I'm just… as Tracy and I were talking about the functionality of this whole committee. 164 00:26:36.250 --> 00:26:43.349 Goldware, Rebeccah: Like, it… we're trying to find out… figure out, is there a counterpart at the colleges, or is this kind of its unique body, and then… 165 00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:53.919 Goldware, Rebeccah: moving it forward. So we'll… at this point, we'll start with engagement with both the senates and the students, and we already have a centralized resource within government relations. 166 00:26:54.070 --> 00:27:05.870 Goldware, Rebeccah: at least for tracking bills, and then we'll, and the election stuff, we can have that run through what government relations is, and then coordinate with the three colleges. 167 00:27:05.870 --> 00:27:10.770 Goldware, Rebeccah: But outside of that, if this group is gonna do stuff, I don't want it to just land on… 168 00:27:10.770 --> 00:27:28.700 Goldware, Rebeccah: the Center for Social Justice, because that's where we think it's supposed to go. So we'll have to be thoughtful in what other things that we pick up, if it's policies or guidelines or, like, land acknowledgement, we've kind of left, and it's laying with the board. And so they say it at the outset of a board meeting, but I can't recall… 169 00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:36.479 Goldware, Rebeccah: if we did land acknowledgement at the graduations this last year, like, my brain's not working that far back. 170 00:27:37.790 --> 00:27:50.999 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah, I can't remember. So, it would have been the last two years that we would have had land acknowledgement if we did it during commencement, but I'm not sure that that happened. So, I know we do it at the board meeting, it's on board agendas, but I don't know where else we do that, and 171 00:27:51.360 --> 00:27:56.699 Goldware, Rebeccah: Like, where that would land for review, because at some point, we should probably… 172 00:27:57.120 --> 00:28:04.820 Goldware, Rebeccah: look at it, but I don't know that that's necessarily a committee's job, right? So. 173 00:28:04.820 --> 00:28:05.500 Clarke, Chris: Rebecca? 174 00:28:05.500 --> 00:28:06.520 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah, go ahead, Chris. 175 00:28:06.520 --> 00:28:08.219 Clarke, Chris: Just interjecting one thing. 176 00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:08.560 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah. 177 00:28:08.560 --> 00:28:25.269 Clarke, Chris: Well, one of the things that we've been doing in the district's newsletter is including an article about government relations, and in that article, Lachey has been addressing… and that's on a monthly basis, she's been addressing legislation that's key, or that's coming up. 178 00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:28.130 Clarke, Chris: And has included links. 179 00:28:28.620 --> 00:28:33.849 Clarke, Chris: So, that's one way that we've been trying to communicate that. I think it's a good idea to maybe 180 00:28:34.170 --> 00:28:43.650 Clarke, Chris: Add it to the… Each of the colleges has an internal newsletter that's for their planning and development. 181 00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:52.739 Clarke, Chris: And so… We can add either that article to those, Or we could, 182 00:28:53.230 --> 00:28:56.040 Clarke, Chris: I still kind of like the idea of a 183 00:28:56.270 --> 00:29:06.799 Clarke, Chris: maybe a quarterly newsletter or something after we have our meetings with the Chancellor, so that we can have it vetted and that this is the official things that we want to communicate. 184 00:29:06.800 --> 00:29:08.510 Goldware, Rebeccah: From… from an advocacy perspective? 185 00:29:08.510 --> 00:29:09.330 Clarke, Chris: Yeah, yeah. 186 00:29:09.330 --> 00:29:10.220 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay. 187 00:29:10.220 --> 00:29:13.379 Clarke, Chris: And we could do something quarterly, and we could have, 188 00:29:14.950 --> 00:29:25.250 Clarke, Chris: It'd be similar to the Chancellor's update, but that way we could send it to students, classified, faculty, management, you know, all of the different constituency groups, if 189 00:29:25.600 --> 00:29:29.760 Clarke, Chris: If that makes sense to do it that way. I don't Yeah, necessarily, of doing… 190 00:29:30.230 --> 00:29:32.160 Clarke, Chris: A different one for each group. 191 00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:37.880 Goldware, Rebeccah: I, yeah, totally agree. Well, there's not that much… we're too close to each other to have that variation. 192 00:29:39.020 --> 00:29:49.779 Goldware, Rebeccah: what it… so my thought is to bring this back to this collective in, let's say, March, because if that works, then we can start doing that as the end of the… 193 00:29:50.090 --> 00:30:07.549 Goldware, Rebeccah: One is we come into election cycles, right? May revise could be when the… maybe we send it out at the end of May, post… as the budget… state budget is, moving through, and then at the… as the ledge program. So let's think about when the best times for those would be. 194 00:30:07.550 --> 00:30:24.139 Goldware, Rebeccah: My suggestion is that we bring all of that back as examples to this committee in… you can say yes or no from a operations perspective, and we're just gonna fold it into your newsletters. But if there are pieces missing, then you can be like, hey, what about? 195 00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:36.020 Goldware, Rebeccah: But intent-wise, we'll continue to move through our operations so that, one, senates are going to get hit in the spring, students are gonna get hit, and then we'll look at doing it in the newsletter so that there's… 196 00:30:36.660 --> 00:30:39.589 Fisher, Tracy: And then, obviously, the reference back to the existing page. 197 00:30:39.940 --> 00:30:51.530 Goldware, Rebeccah: So that people feel more informed and they know where to go. And there's a decent amount of resources on Lache's page that refer people out in terms of, like, right? You've got register to vote and stuff like that on your page, I'm pretty sure. 198 00:30:51.900 --> 00:30:52.239 Rodriguez, LaShe: Yes, we do. 199 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:57.690 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, cool. Okay, anything else there? 200 00:30:58.150 --> 00:31:02.950 Goldware, Rebeccah: From an outreach plans for 26 and moving things forward. 201 00:31:03.100 --> 00:31:06.180 Clarke, Chris: Okay, cool. I would mention just the… 202 00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:24.250 Clarke, Chris: To let everybody on this committee know where the, government relations page resides. So if you go into the rccd.edu website, and click on institutional… go to the district area, click on Institutional development. 203 00:31:24.350 --> 00:31:29.220 Clarke, Chris: In economic… no, institutional advancement and economic development. 204 00:31:29.520 --> 00:31:46.120 Clarke, Chris: click on that link within the district pages, and then when you go there, you can see that there's a government relations submenu on the left-hand side. So you click on that, and that takes you… that way you can see all of our delegation, you can see the full… 205 00:31:46.220 --> 00:31:51.050 Clarke, Chris: Legislative platform as it's… once it's approved by the board. 206 00:31:51.240 --> 00:32:02.199 Clarke, Chris: You can see… Any grassroots and connection to these, legislation tracking… 207 00:32:02.510 --> 00:32:07.939 Clarke, Chris: That we've got, so you can see all of that on that, government relations page. 208 00:32:10.230 --> 00:32:10.600 Rodriguez, LaShe: Nothing. 209 00:32:10.600 --> 00:32:10.990 Goldware, Rebeccah: Thank you. 210 00:32:10.990 --> 00:32:13.399 Rodriguez, LaShe: I put the link in the chat for anybody who wants to. 211 00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:19.940 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah. Thanks, LaShey. I, I don't click through like Chris does, because he wants to get credit for all the clicks on all the pages. 212 00:32:20.420 --> 00:32:22.309 Goldware, Rebeccah: I just… I just Google… 213 00:32:22.310 --> 00:32:23.429 Rodriguez, LaShe: Oh, yes. 214 00:32:23.430 --> 00:32:32.929 Goldware, Rebeccah: CD and government relations, and it's the first one that pops. Google's so great. Anyway, no, Chris, you're right. So, anything else, questions, comments? 215 00:32:33.620 --> 00:32:40.499 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, the next thing that we have on there is maybe… this is my attempt. 216 00:32:40.540 --> 00:32:57.579 Goldware, Rebeccah: So we're gonna start with this committee. We tried a while ago, to get some kind of guidelines that is not an AP, it is not a BP, but guidelines for engaging in political activity. And, 217 00:32:57.800 --> 00:33:11.300 Goldware, Rebeccah: there is a draft on what is page 3 of the agenda. I'm gonna give you all a minute, because I don't know that anybody knew there was a page 3 on the agenda, to kind of look through this. This is 218 00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:30.390 Goldware, Rebeccah: high level. It is not meant to infringe on anybody's First Amendment right. This is purely directed at all of us as people who are paid by this institution as employees, regardless of your classification, and trying to make it so that when elected officials come here. 219 00:33:30.540 --> 00:33:36.249 Goldware, Rebeccah: We know, and we can support appropriately. So, I'm gonna be quiet and give y'all a minute. 220 00:35:51.650 --> 00:35:53.350 Goldware, Rebeccah: Questions, comments? 221 00:35:54.490 --> 00:35:55.850 Goldware, Rebeccah: concerns… 222 00:36:02.370 --> 00:36:05.620 Clarke, Chris: So I've read through and… and 223 00:36:06.560 --> 00:36:08.809 Clarke, Chris: I've read through this one, and I've… 224 00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:18.769 Clarke, Chris: Written and read through other ones that we've done in previous years, and know some of the trouble we get in for suggesting that government relations needs to coordinate our efforts. 225 00:36:18.990 --> 00:36:22.590 Clarke, Chris: So maybe in the guideline heading. 226 00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:31.249 Clarke, Chris: We should talk about that they're… guidelines on… government relations, 227 00:36:33.290 --> 00:36:37.149 Clarke, Chris: As it applies to representing the institution. 228 00:36:37.720 --> 00:36:43.959 Clarke, Chris: and then keep it focused on institutional items instead of talking… I mean, because they know they have the free… 229 00:36:44.090 --> 00:36:49.340 Clarke, Chris: speech rights, and they know they have the right to communicate with their legislators, and I don't want to 230 00:36:50.570 --> 00:36:53.340 Clarke, Chris: Come across patronizing on it, something like that. 231 00:36:53.680 --> 00:37:00.020 Clarke, Chris: But, I think if we can… Talk about… 232 00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:08.390 Clarke, Chris: And talk about, more specifically, the benefits of having us be aware of the political activity that's happening. 233 00:37:08.670 --> 00:37:10.720 Clarke, Chris: So… and we could put more… 234 00:37:10.890 --> 00:37:15.299 Clarke, Chris: toward that. Obviously, I've read this… this one before, and 235 00:37:15.570 --> 00:37:23.310 Clarke, Chris: I think it's a great start, but I think others in this committee might have other suggestions, so I would encourage you to… 236 00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:24.160 Clarke, Chris: you know. 237 00:37:24.510 --> 00:37:31.540 Clarke, Chris: Go through this with a red pen, with suggestions, but let's talk about what we want this document 238 00:37:31.690 --> 00:37:33.259 Clarke, Chris: To do for us. 239 00:37:33.480 --> 00:37:36.040 Clarke, Chris: And due for the government relations, and then… 240 00:37:37.470 --> 00:37:51.229 Clarke, Chris: we'd encourage your feedback and comments on it before it gets widely distributed. This… when we've done this type of thing before, we've had, people, respond, 241 00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:56.190 Clarke, Chris: And I think sometimes without even reading the whole thing, just thinking, oh, they're trying to… 242 00:37:56.570 --> 00:38:02.530 Clarke, Chris: You know, dictate how we… politically, and… 243 00:38:02.780 --> 00:38:05.360 Clarke, Chris: That's not it at all, so we have to be very clear. 244 00:38:05.640 --> 00:38:10.060 Clarke, Chris: What we're doing and… and how that… should be communicated. 245 00:38:12.780 --> 00:38:24.780 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah, just more flavor. Chris, tried to send one of these out about a year ago, maybe it was a little longer ago than that, and… well, it'd have to be, because Darius was still here. And there was a response to everyone. 246 00:38:25.150 --> 00:38:31.610 Goldware, Rebeccah: So… That's why we're trying. Not because he's gone, because technically he's still here. 247 00:38:31.610 --> 00:38:33.030 Clarke, Chris: One response, I'll… 248 00:38:33.030 --> 00:38:44.520 Goldware, Rebeccah: There was more than one response. But again, I see your point, Chris. But yeah, very much open to feedback. If the collective was like, this is a horrible idea, this is gonna… 249 00:38:44.520 --> 00:38:55.820 Goldware, Rebeccah: not be a good use of resources, the faculty are going to take issue with it. I don't necessarily have an issue… I don't… I'm not concerned that people will take issue with it, because everybody's going to read whatever they want into it. 250 00:38:56.250 --> 00:39:00.309 Goldware, Rebeccah: I'm trying to use it as… not really a compliance piece, but 251 00:39:00.860 --> 00:39:13.029 Goldware, Rebeccah: a place that people know where the boundaries are, a little more clearly defined, and good, bad, right, or wrong, we have electives on our campus all the time, and we don't necessarily know. And… 252 00:39:13.240 --> 00:39:25.409 Goldware, Rebeccah: it's okay when they're coming to give a presentation to a class, but the moment that switches into a campaign-related activity, we got a problem, and I want to make sure that, one, the faculty are protected in their classrooms so that they know 253 00:39:25.460 --> 00:39:42.249 Goldware, Rebeccah: what those boundaries are. Usually they're being invited to a political science classroom, so it's… it's not an issue. But sometimes it is, because theory and practice are different, and if you work in theory and you haven't stayed up on current legislative changes, you may not necessarily know that, certain things 254 00:39:42.250 --> 00:39:54.529 Goldware, Rebeccah: have changed, one, but two, during campaign… during political activities, and campaign time specifically, making sure to give, equal access is important. So, 255 00:39:55.000 --> 00:40:00.760 Goldware, Rebeccah: that's… that's really where it comes from, and giving whoever's sitting in Lachey's role 256 00:40:00.790 --> 00:40:02.959 Goldware, Rebeccah: Like, something to work with to go… 257 00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:24.190 Goldware, Rebeccah: I think for the most part, Reno Valley's really good, like, when they have an event. Like, Lachey's one of the first places they call, and they're like, okay, those are the things that we need to do, but then she's informed. Norco just sent a note, what, earlier this week, and was like, hey, Supervisor Spiegel's coming in January. I'm like, wow, this is great, we normally don't get this kind of notice. This is awesome. 258 00:40:25.170 --> 00:40:26.240 Goldware, Rebeccah: So… 259 00:40:27.030 --> 00:40:39.489 Goldware, Rebeccah: I… Chris, I see your point, and this is… this is really meant for y'all to take a first read. If there's anything that flags initially that's a concern, we will bring this back, because I want to make sure that you have enough time and… 260 00:40:39.490 --> 00:40:50.449 Goldware, Rebeccah: We will send it out to the group, as a collective, so that when we have this next conversation, because my thought is, if there are questions and comments, we address it in the committee, and if they're not, we'll take it through DSPC and… 261 00:40:50.460 --> 00:40:54.610 Goldware, Rebeccah: we'll… we'll see what happens. Again, these are guidelines. 262 00:40:54.760 --> 00:41:01.740 Goldware, Rebeccah: They won't necessarily be, attached to a board policy, but we would reference them in, 263 00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:08.409 Goldware, Rebeccah: as a guideline to link to something else, and probably… I don't know what the correct AP is, but, 264 00:41:10.700 --> 00:41:11.420 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah. 265 00:41:11.870 --> 00:41:17.190 Goldware, Rebeccah: Maybe… maybe 3,500, what's… we'll see. But, questions, comments? 266 00:41:18.620 --> 00:41:19.440 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yes. 267 00:41:21.260 --> 00:41:39.490 Star Taylor: I'm reading this, and, first of all, I love that there's a document even existing, filling all this out. But my question is, I'm asking this question because I know somebody who was dismissed, not from the district, but from another institution, for speaking up 268 00:41:40.380 --> 00:41:45.300 Star Taylor: Speaking up on beliefs that were against his institution's beliefs. 269 00:41:45.670 --> 00:41:53.970 Star Taylor: So, my question is, and I'm going to fumble through this question, Should we have… 270 00:41:55.790 --> 00:42:06.470 Star Taylor: an outright statement that… and I know we have a paragraph on here that talks about people speaking on their personal behalf versus the institution's behalf. 271 00:42:06.620 --> 00:42:13.059 Star Taylor: But I'm wondering if we… there's a way to be clearer about if you go out in public. 272 00:42:13.450 --> 00:42:22.270 Star Taylor: let's say I'm not representing RCCD's work, but I have an RCC the, 273 00:42:22.540 --> 00:42:31.520 Star Taylor: you know, shirt on, or RCC, or Norco, or Moreno Valley shirt on, they're gonna automatically assume that I'm speaking on behalf of 274 00:42:31.640 --> 00:42:37.519 Star Taylor: RCC, Norco, or Moreno Valley. So… my fumbled… 275 00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:44.170 Star Taylor: Enfeebled question is, do we need to have… something that states 276 00:42:44.290 --> 00:42:47.529 Star Taylor: You know, if you're going to speak 277 00:42:48.430 --> 00:42:58.459 Star Taylor: you know, on behalf of the institution or the district, you know, do these things. If you're not, you know, I mean, I don't even know what my question is. I'm just… 278 00:42:58.590 --> 00:43:02.599 Star Taylor: Afraid that somebody's gonna go out there and speak on the… 279 00:43:02.600 --> 00:43:10.530 Goldware, Rebeccah: Inadvertently. Yes. No, I hear you. So I think that's where, and… 280 00:43:11.640 --> 00:43:24.440 Goldware, Rebeccah: I've had back and forth with General Counsel on this, right? Because his go-to is, no, it's going to infringe on First Amendment. So, by default, if I'm wearing an RCC shirt, that does not mean I'm speaking on behalf of the institution. 281 00:43:24.950 --> 00:43:32.029 Goldware, Rebeccah: Right? Like, that in and of itself is not going to affirm that that's what I'm doing. It may imply it. 282 00:43:32.550 --> 00:43:44.890 Goldware, Rebeccah: I… I… I agree with that. So let me… let me parse that one out with him a little bit, because the imp… the implication of what… I… yeah, let me, 283 00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:48.500 Goldware, Rebeccah: I'll see how much I can. 284 00:43:48.500 --> 00:43:59.620 Star Taylor: make your question better when I stumble through it, when I talk with him about it. I can stumble, you know, if you want me to stumble through with Keith, by all means, but you know what I'm getting at, right? 285 00:43:59.620 --> 00:44:00.950 Goldware, Rebeccah: I totally do, yeah. 286 00:44:00.950 --> 00:44:09.509 Star Taylor: And, you know, I'm sure Keith will be able to decipher, a fumbled, muddled, attempt, because I know he encounters this 287 00:44:09.750 --> 00:44:20.920 Star Taylor: probably quite a lot, or has had the question, so I know we hosted something about First, you know, the… our freedom of speech and First Amendment, and, he has a lot to say about First Amendment. 288 00:44:21.200 --> 00:44:23.869 Goldware, Rebeccah: Oh, I forgot you guys had that. Like, it was during Flex or something, right? 289 00:44:24.580 --> 00:44:25.780 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah, okay. 290 00:44:27.290 --> 00:44:35.869 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, I will raise that with him. Anything… because, frankly, that would happen to faculty. Like, you all don't have a clock in and out 291 00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:49.669 Goldware, Rebeccah: Where you could, like, anybody could be wearing a football shirt, or a, fill in the blank. I mean, you give shirts out for all kinds of events. Marino Valley, like, everybody's got shirts for everything, so, 292 00:44:49.670 --> 00:44:58.360 Goldware, Rebeccah: I would actually, like, I… I see the concern for what I would generally refer to as classified or management, but, like, you… faculty don't have start… 293 00:44:58.360 --> 00:45:14.380 Goldware, Rebeccah: We're end time, so if you go somewhere, it's hard to take that hat off without actually going, I am not that… that's not the hat I'm wearing right now. I'm just star. I'm not star faculty member representing discipline, or the Senate, or… yeah, okay. 294 00:45:16.010 --> 00:45:22.620 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, let me, because in theory, there should be no implication to students. 295 00:45:25.390 --> 00:45:27.910 Goldware, Rebeccah: There should be no implication to students. 296 00:45:28.780 --> 00:45:35.260 Goldware, Rebeccah: But to your point about the student clubs, there would be a potential… Okay. 297 00:45:35.870 --> 00:45:37.139 Goldware, Rebeccah: What else? . 298 00:45:37.140 --> 00:45:44.209 Star Taylor: Also, Rebecca, we were talking about, you know, how social media blows up everything. 299 00:45:44.540 --> 00:45:45.030 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah. 300 00:45:45.030 --> 00:45:47.430 Star Taylor: And so, it takes everything out of context. 301 00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:54.959 Star Taylor: So, I'm thinking about faculty implications, I'm thinking about even bullying, you know. 302 00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:55.420 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yeah. 303 00:45:55.420 --> 00:45:55.879 Star Taylor: If a student. 304 00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:56.780 Goldware, Rebeccah: The offline stuff. 305 00:45:56.780 --> 00:46:08.509 Star Taylor: Now, if a student finds somebody on social media and decides to take their… to register with their classes to harass them, it's a whole icky… icky thing, especially in this… 306 00:46:08.710 --> 00:46:11.829 Star Taylor: you know… Temperature refine ourselves. 307 00:46:12.270 --> 00:46:12.880 Goldware, Rebeccah: app. 308 00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:13.490 Star Taylor: Yeah. 309 00:46:15.080 --> 00:46:19.249 Goldware, Rebeccah: So on the bullying piece, At least, I mean… 310 00:46:20.300 --> 00:46:35.909 Goldware, Rebeccah: I tried, like, I tried to do Principles of Community, Tracy knows what that is, because of UC, but, like, we don't have, like, a bullying policy. Like, student… student conduct would be the only place, and that would only be on the student side. So that's another piece, but the cyber… 311 00:46:36.070 --> 00:46:48.239 Goldware, Rebeccah: I didn't think about that, but you're 100% right. It could absolutely go there pretty quickly. So, okay. Well, that's two new post-its for activities and stuff for me to do, so… 312 00:46:48.240 --> 00:46:51.910 Clarke, Chris: It's all… it's also covered by the Title IX and Title V. 313 00:46:52.180 --> 00:46:58.220 Clarke, Chris: regulations as far as bullying. There is… there is some language in that, so… 314 00:47:00.250 --> 00:47:00.940 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay. 315 00:47:03.490 --> 00:47:06.579 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, any other questions, comments, concerns? 316 00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:19.819 Goldware, Rebeccah: And, sorry, I say this in all seriousness, if it makes sense for you to share this with Joe or your executive committee, I wouldn't want it to go too broad, but if you want other feedback, 317 00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:22.919 Goldware, Rebeccah: And, I don't know… 318 00:47:23.150 --> 00:47:37.019 Goldware, Rebeccah: who the faculty… the other two faculty are for this committee. I'm not sure if this one's filled out, but if you do share it with Joe, it would be worthwhile sharing it with, and I can share it with Adam and, Kim in addition, but… 319 00:47:37.380 --> 00:47:45.090 Goldware, Rebeccah: I would… I would hate to get to DSPC and this be the first time they see this. So, and I do have one-on-ones coming up with most of them, 320 00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:48.250 Goldware, Rebeccah: So, that would be… that'd be cool. 321 00:47:48.250 --> 00:47:49.069 Star Taylor: Thank you. 322 00:47:49.250 --> 00:47:54.170 Goldware, Rebeccah: Anything else on guidelines or the campaign activity? 323 00:47:56.100 --> 00:47:58.889 Goldware, Rebeccah: Cool. Tracy, what do you got planned? 324 00:48:01.210 --> 00:48:03.409 Fisher, Tracy: So the… 325 00:48:03.810 --> 00:48:12.829 Fisher, Tracy: biggest thing that we're working on right now, and it moves into 2026, into the spring, is, the Body of Freedom project. 326 00:48:13.120 --> 00:48:27.179 Fisher, Tracy: And it's a project in the sense that we are offering these free workshops, we're in collaboration with Ramona High School, with Division IX Gallery, the City of Riverside has supported us on this. 327 00:48:27.510 --> 00:48:47.010 Fisher, Tracy: And offering, free workshops of all ages, different times of the day, and we have some upcoming ones, for December. We'll have, I think, two more in January, and they range, like, the ones I'm referring to that are upcoming, like, there's one next week on, mosaics, and… 328 00:48:47.450 --> 00:48:50.490 Fisher, Tracy: We're also working with the… 329 00:48:51.000 --> 00:49:04.320 Fisher, Tracy: with, RCA, with… also with Mission Inn Foundation. They're also on board and collaborating and offering, so I think December 7th is one, December 11th is another workshop, 330 00:49:05.110 --> 00:49:14.159 Fisher, Tracy: Painting, another mosaic, one on the 7th, and the… and what… with these particular workshops is that the… 331 00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:28.999 Fisher, Tracy: the art that's created in the workshop is then featured in the exhibition, the Body of Freedom exhibition. And so, that's in, kind of, mid-spring, March… 332 00:49:29.220 --> 00:49:32.709 Fisher, Tracy: 6th through May 7th? 333 00:49:33.210 --> 00:49:35.869 Fisher, Tracy: I think we'll also be… 334 00:49:36.290 --> 00:49:47.150 Fisher, Tracy: working with, the music school again, with the COIL and the students, and offering, hopefully lunchtime jazz again, because that's one of the more popular programs. 335 00:49:47.460 --> 00:49:53.129 Fisher, Tracy: We have, this year, 336 00:49:53.520 --> 00:50:00.280 Fisher, Tracy: we have Community Action Leadership Academy… two Community Action Leadership Academy interns. 337 00:50:00.640 --> 00:50:10.119 Fisher, Tracy: And, So they'll probably end up doing some sort of… 338 00:50:10.120 --> 00:50:26.890 Fisher, Tracy: project here, so last year, for example, the students started a social justice book club. It was late in the year, had a bit of a slow start, so that might be… there's some talk about kind of giving that a reboot, which would be nice, kind of starting a little bit earlier. 339 00:50:26.930 --> 00:50:34.540 Fisher, Tracy: And making it, they had all the great ideas, and, but I think it just… 340 00:50:34.780 --> 00:50:43.400 Fisher, Tracy: started too late. So those are just… just some of the things that are… that are, kind of coming up for the… for the spring term. 341 00:50:45.710 --> 00:50:54.919 Fisher, Tracy: The other… just one other thing I'll say is that, we're also looking to have a stronger, more, I would say. 342 00:50:55.210 --> 00:51:03.570 Fisher, Tracy: relationship with College Core. So, right now, 343 00:51:03.760 --> 00:51:13.969 Fisher, Tracy: I think College Corps is in the… in the… they're planning to apply for more funds for the next, either 3 or 5 years, but… 344 00:51:14.250 --> 00:51:21.870 Fisher, Tracy: having a stronger relationship, or dare I say institutionalized, but just kind of a stronger link 345 00:51:21.980 --> 00:51:28.450 Fisher, Tracy: between College Core and, a space like the Center, I think would actually help 346 00:51:28.710 --> 00:51:43.800 Fisher, Tracy: the college core across the, you know, at the three colleges. So, so that's… that's, recently had a… recently had a conversation with Darcy Manso, who spoke here in this… who spoke for this committee in the spring. 347 00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:57.930 Fisher, Tracy: spoke to this committee in the spring, and she heads College Court RCC, and we are really… we really had kind of the beginnings of a conversation around that, of, like, how to make it more robust, where, even 348 00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:04.580 Fisher, Tracy: Perhaps some of the college core, like, there could be some kind of, symposium. 349 00:52:04.580 --> 00:52:18.570 Fisher, Tracy: That includes the College Corps students, or at least thinking about the community partners having a symposium. So those are all kind of ideas that are moving around now, not so much for 2026, but really for, well, 2026-2027. 350 00:52:18.570 --> 00:52:23.370 Fisher, Tracy: So, yeah, those are just some of the things that are… that are happening here. 351 00:52:26.760 --> 00:52:28.809 Goldware, Rebeccah: Cool. Thanks. Questions, comments? 352 00:52:29.690 --> 00:52:33.509 Goldware, Rebeccah: I'm excited, some of this stuff, like, I was like, put it on my calendar, I'm like, I can't go. 353 00:52:34.900 --> 00:52:48.279 Goldware, Rebeccah: So, I try… I try to make it to your stuff. The jazz… if you all haven't been to the lunch jazz thing, when she does that, it's so great. And, like, people come downtown, like, it's… it's good. So, I like… I'm glad that there's a book club coming, like, there's some stuff that… 354 00:52:48.470 --> 00:52:54.630 Goldware, Rebeccah: I don't… and I don't know… did we get your webpage, like, functional? Like, up in… 355 00:52:54.630 --> 00:53:19.609 Fisher, Tracy: Yeah, it is. We actually have… I mean, it's… it's functional and running and up and, but we're gonna add some things to it. We have now, like, well, we've recently added some things to it. I think we're gonna just… we're always just trying to refine it just even more, but we've now… so for people who are interested, or outside groups are interested in… in tours, they, the tour request form is 356 00:53:19.610 --> 00:53:25.589 Fisher, Tracy: is now on the website. So they click on the tour request form, they fill it out, they send it back to us. So, like. 357 00:53:25.700 --> 00:53:29.469 Fisher, Tracy: Making it a little bit more interactive in that regard, right? 358 00:53:29.470 --> 00:53:29.950 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yep. 359 00:53:29.950 --> 00:53:34.619 Fisher, Tracy: But our Instagram following is pretty good now. I think we have over 1,300, which is… 360 00:53:34.830 --> 00:53:38.640 Fisher, Tracy: For the center, that's good. 361 00:53:38.920 --> 00:53:40.479 Fisher, Tracy: So, 362 00:53:40.900 --> 00:53:50.100 Fisher, Tracy: So yeah, so we're just doing, I think, different… just trying to think of different ways, right? And really activate different ways to make the programming 363 00:53:52.270 --> 00:54:06.470 Fisher, Tracy: to further outreach, right? So people… more people know about it. So there are a couple of things now, I think, with the city. There's something like a culture hub, where we have events we can let the… that… that particular, 364 00:54:06.790 --> 00:54:20.029 Fisher, Tracy: they have an Instagram page, they'll take it, right? Whatever we're doing, they'll take it, and they'll also, kind of run with it and give it a lot of publicity. So, it's those sorts of things. I think the stronger 365 00:54:20.290 --> 00:54:30.880 Fisher, Tracy: our community base is, also the greater reach, too, right? Like, both within the district and beyond. 366 00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:33.279 Goldware, Rebeccah: Yep. Cool. 367 00:54:33.420 --> 00:54:35.899 Goldware, Rebeccah: Questions, comments for Tracy? 368 00:54:38.150 --> 00:54:38.930 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay. 369 00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:58.929 Goldware, Rebeccah: Sigrid had asked us to put CIRT on here, she's not here, so we're gonna skip that, and we'll put it on the next one. She wanted to talk about what, CERT is doing. I think it's a great program, I think it should be promoted, but I'll give her the opportunity to chat about that, and we'll put that on the agenda for next time. 370 00:54:58.930 --> 00:55:02.660 Goldware, Rebeccah: Are there any updates from the colleges? 371 00:55:02.880 --> 00:55:08.039 Goldware, Rebeccah: I don't know what it would be, but I wanted to make sure there was opportunity for y'all to… to share. 372 00:55:08.510 --> 00:55:10.469 Goldware, Rebeccah: Hopefully there'll be more people next time. 373 00:55:11.470 --> 00:55:13.649 Goldware, Rebeccah: Because there's nobody from Norco, so… 374 00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:23.930 Goldware, Rebeccah: Unless, Ethan, I know you're a student, but I don't know which college you're at, so thank you for joining, because this is… you're, like, the third student who's come to one of these committee meetings, so I'm just grateful that you were able to join us. 375 00:55:23.930 --> 00:55:26.539 Ethan Lumahan: Of course, I'm from Morocco, so… 376 00:55:26.540 --> 00:55:31.089 Goldware, Rebeccah: Oh, great, see? We have coverage then. Thank you. 377 00:55:32.420 --> 00:55:35.139 Goldware, Rebeccah: New business questions, comments for the good of the group? 378 00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:42.719 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, what we'll… the plan will be is Renee will reach out after the spring semester starts. 379 00:55:42.720 --> 00:56:02.340 Goldware, Rebeccah: To make sure the faculty are back, we'll get a new date that works for them, and then we'll get a… another committee meeting. There's a handful of to-dos for the team to come back with, and we'll do another run. Any feedback that y'all have on the political activity is great, and… 380 00:56:02.810 --> 00:56:17.060 Goldware, Rebeccah: If there are questions, comments, or other agenda items, feel free to send them to that civic engagement, email. It goes to Renee, and we can keep information. It does have the committee, so if you needed to know who was on that. And then we also have a web page 381 00:56:17.060 --> 00:56:24.609 Goldware, Rebeccah: For civic engagement, so you could just Google RCCD, or Chris could tell you how many clicks you could go through. 382 00:56:24.610 --> 00:56:25.770 Goldware, Rebeccah: And… 383 00:56:25.800 --> 00:56:32.659 Goldware, Rebeccah: we post our minutes and all of that stuff once they've been finalized, so the ones for April will go up in the not-too-distant future. 384 00:56:32.980 --> 00:56:33.940 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay? 385 00:56:34.080 --> 00:56:38.600 Goldware, Rebeccah: So, if you need anything, let us know. Otherwise, I'll give you a few minutes of your life back. 386 00:56:39.920 --> 00:56:41.780 Goldware, Rebeccah: I appreciate you all. Have a good day. 387 00:56:43.560 --> 00:56:44.320 Clarke, Chris: Thank you. 388 00:56:44.690 --> 00:56:45.800 Fisher, Tracy: Thank you. 389 00:56:45.980 --> 00:56:46.960 Rodriguez, LaShe: Thank you. 390 00:56:48.990 --> 00:56:52.799 Goldware, Rebeccah: Okay, Chris and Lachey, we're gonna take a minute. Renee, if you want to hang on, you can. 391 00:56:54.520 --> 00:56:58.050 Vigil, Renee: Can you just push, end recording real quick? Sorry. 392 00:56:59.180 --> 00:57:00.160 Vigil, Renee: Thank you. 393 00:57:00.720 --> 00:57:01.749 Vigil, Renee: But I'm listening.
