Classified are missing from the Facilities narrative.

Thank you for pointing that out. We will make the correction.

I would second Katie that Sustainability has to be in the top themes.

Yes! I second linking equity and sustainability.

Yes!!

Yes!!

That was a lengthy conversation in our breakout. Also a theme of our We the Future Conference.

Concerning Global perspectives, I think it might be better if we were less broad and stated "Global Perspectives" rather than a "Globalized World." Otherwise, someone could globalize anything whether good, or bad.

The 3 pillars of sustainability: the environment, equity, and economics.

I am applauding the comments about the solid skills we still need to offer the community.

Consistent messaging was brought up in our breakout room and was agreed as an important value, but it is not mentioned. When there is time can we speak to that?

And with what Casandra commented on about language - that links back to inclusion, particularly when it comes to the various constituent groups at SRJC.

In case anyone does not have the link to access the Vision document. https://strategic-planning.santarosa.edu/town-hall-notes-and-recordings

nice, inspirational to last speaker

Well said Sean Martin

healthy work force

I think Nehemia and I are on the same page. Valuing truth does not imply possessing truth. We are not the arbiters of truth, but the place where people assert, question, deny, and provide nuance to the question of what is "true."

Consistent messaging

I don't explicitly see these words in the values, but these are some words that come to mind from personal experience as a student. knowledge, enlightenment, encouragement, empowerment, opportunity, sanctuary, safety, and love.

thank you

civility and what was the 2nd word?

Collegiality

thanks

Regarding relativism, at the same time, what is "true" in distinct disciplines is best pursued by the methods, refined in disciplinary communities, such that a Math professor has a basis on which to assert what is true in that field, similarly with other disciplines. The institution should not be the arbiter of truth, but some (often strongly held) beliefs are demonstrably false, incoherent, or inconsistent with the accumulated knowledge in well established fields.

I like that addition Guy...Adaptability

@anne not just students, everyone at the college.

I like it Liko! I want everyone to be critical thinkers and active citizens!!!

@Anne great topic for us. Thank you.

I agree with Li Collier.

Thanks for adding Cultural Humility @Li

As our budget changes (reduced enrollment, COVID funds ending, new funding formula, etc.), I really like the idea that whatever our new budget is mirrors the values that we are committed to. This is especially important in areas such as DEIA. Where will our dollars be spent? What work will we fund or not fund?

We are on break until 10:52am

growth/imptovement/reflection

great discussion

thank you

I'd suggest also including Beauty in our values. Again, not suggesting the institution has a monopoly on the meaning of that term, but our arts programs are essential and they are engaged in aesthetic pursuits.

Cultural Competency/Humility

I think there are two key points on which we want to diverge from the old M/V/V: 1. the old statement is that we are a "community." That's not #1. We have been created to be an EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION. Community is a key value, but that's not why we get $160 million per year. 2. Truth and honesty don't appear as core elements in the old document.

What is the average retention of a single student at SRJC? Important to know when discussing structure.

I didn't see Equity on that list.

Noticed that

Thank you, Jeremy and Julie!

Thank you.

thank you

thank you everyone!!!
