- ACCESS
-
We must commit, as a community to first consider the impact to students when making budget cuts. Board members must always ask for an analysis from staff before determining if a proposed budget is acceptable, and staff should always have an unbiased student based analysis ready to support their recommendations. If not, COM will continue to decline in enrollment.
- SUCCESS
-
Student's educational success grows retention and is contagious. We need to focus existing resources to attain institution wide programs that address the support needs of all our students.
- Shared Governance at College of Marin
-
Shared governance is one of the most difficult concepts for people to grasp and or agree about. People pullout the regulations and debate the meaning and intent, or use it to support their position. There has been more than one time when a board member pulled out the regulations at a board meeting and began reciting word for word what AB 1725 stated or what our policy says on the subject.
