Steps Beyond Statements Committee Charge
The current global call for racial equity and justice highlights the importance and urgency of our commitment to Inclusive Excellence at Rockland Community College (RCC). The Steps Beyond Statements Working Group is part of that ongoing commitment and is charged by President Baston to conduct the Guided Pathways Institutional Self-Assessment for Equity in order to provide recommendations for implementation building upon our institutional strengths and addressing identified challenges. In addition, the SBS Working Group will conduct focus groups to build on the Diversity & Inclusion Survey conducted in Spring 2021, and provide recommendations for implementation of academic and non-academic divisions Equity Scorecards.
