  1. Resolution – EOPS 50 Years of Student Success ACTION

A Resolution recognizing the value of Taft College EOPS is being worked on this week. As February is Awareness month and the ASCCC and Board of Governors have already marked the 50th anniversary of EOPS for special recognition, it seems appropriate for the Taft College Academic Senate to recognize the local EOPS during the month of February.

Action requested: Approve movement of a resolution honoring EOPS forward to the Senate-of-the-Whole with a Recommendation of Support.

  1. Guided Pathways Progress, Institutionalization, and Academic Senate ACTION

Activities begun under the Guided Pathways plans submitted by Taft College, with support from the Academic Senate, require institutionalization.

Discussion: What do members of the Academic Senate Council, Academic Senate, and Academic Senate committees need to have, see, hear, learn, and/or do to determine our responsibilities in moving Guided Pathways towards institutionalization?

What actions should be taken?

Action requested: Development of recommendation(s) to Senate of the Whole for actions to institutionalize Guided Pathways activities.
