7. Discussion Items

7.1. Program Review – SLO Section

Presenter: Karin Spirn

• The task is to draft the SAO/SLO section of Program Review.
• The Program Review Committee aims to make the process more accessible and less intimidating for faculty.
• There are legal and ethical concerns regarding the disaggregation of data, particularly when the data is incomplete or not robust. There is also concern that faculty without appropriate training may have access to identity-related information.
• A broader question was raised about whether data should be disaggregated to evaluate learning and student success.
• A concern was raised that required disaggregation may itself be unethical.

7.2. Three-Year Plan process review

• Review of templates.

7.3. Flex Day Recap

• Two sessions were offered; overall attendance was low. New faculty attended and the process was reviewed.
• During the second session, Spring 2026 data was not available, so assessments were not able to begin.
