Attach documentation to support this recommendation.
Rationale for changing membership:
As the college moves toward incorporating non-credit courses, the committee decided to make the
Non-Credit Specialist a non-voting member.
Beginning this year 2017, Basic Skills, SSSP and Equity have a “Unified plan” to the state. It is
important that the director of student equity and success be present at BaSk meetings, as well as the
chair of Basic Skills be present at the Student Success committee. Both groups should be well-
informed of each others’ activities and can plan shared projects (which is the intention of the state
chancellor’s office to unify the reporting and planning process for these initiatives).
