Professor Bernal met with Staff Council representatives and there is agreement to try to develop some type of employee picnic. Dr. Cecilia Gonzales suggested holding the picnic as a part of the 75th celebration next Fall. One problem raised concerning hiring minorities is the budget issue. You can t hire without the money. There is also not enough specific language in the document related to diversity.
Diversity can have broad interpretation.
There was also concern that each campus might have different diversity concerns. The Role and Scope document for department chairs was discussed in an attempt to bring some uniformity among the colleges. There will be parking lots available for which we will charge a parking fee. Information as to when we will need to staff the lots will be made available shortly. Student Government - A representative of the Student government said that they would like to be involved in the 75th Anniversary activities.
