ACADEMIC SENATE FOR CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES (ASCCC)-reported by Dan Crump
The ASCCC just completed our Spring Plenary Session---April 9-11, at the SFO Westin.
As usual, a wide variety of breakouts and presentations were given, including (but not limited) to the topics of statewide initiatives (OER, OEI, EPI, and CAI), student equity plans, SSSP, legislation affecting CCCs, accreditation, the CTE Task Force, AB 86 adult education and noncredit, and professional development.
In addition, we held elections for many of the positions on the Executive Committee.

On a personal note---after 13 years serving on the Executive Committee, I decided not to run for re-election. But this doesn't mean that I am leaving the ASCCC--they can't get rid of me! I intend to stay active with the ASCCC to provide it with the input and perspective of this librarian.
