Campus Climate Council Adds Public Comment Period to Meetings
February 1, 2016
Campus community members: if you have comments, concerns or ideas regarding UC Merced’s campus climate, the Chancellor’s Advisory Council on Campus Climate, Culture and Inclusion (CCCI) wants to hear them.
CCCI meets from 10:30 a.m. to noon on the second Tuesday of the month in Room 238 of the Student Services Building. Starting with the Feb. 9 meeting, the council is adding a public comment period. During that time, faculty, staff and students can provide feedback or air issues of concern that affect the learning, working and living environments at UC Merced. The public comment period will take place at the meeting’s start. Each speaker has five minutes to provide his or her comments.
“We want campus community members to have a voice and to know that someone will respond to their concerns,” said Deidre “De” Acker, director of campus climate and chair of CCCI.
The advisory council:
- provides ongoing evaluation of campus climate conditions, practices and policies;
- suggests measures that support the goals of inclusion and community; and
- fulfills other campus-specific responsibilities identified by the chancellor.
