Continue working to improve minority transfer rates and success. Develop and support outreach efforts to minority transfer students. Reevaluate intent of transfer centers and strengthen their roles at each institution. Every campus should have a transfer center that helps all students facilitate transfer to four year institutions. Provide consistent categorical funding to transfer centers.
Many barriers exist that prevent adequate and equal representation at the state level.
This item is also Priority 1 on the Agenda. When the following issues are addressed, then would the students be at the level to function at accordingly. The student nominees that are to be forwarded to the Governor of California, for appointment to sit on the Board of Governors, shall solely come from the State Student Senate of the California Community Colleges. Changes should be made in the Education code to guarantee Student Trustees the right to an advisory vote, the ability to make and second motions, the ability to attend closed sessions for performance evaluations of administrators, and to receive the same compensation and benefits. The State Student Senate should be funded adequately, and through the same mechanism as the State Academic Senate.
