Student Equity and Achievement Committee

Mission

The Student Equity and Achievement Committee (SEAC) was created in Fall 2019 by mutual agreement of the President and the Faculty Senate to provide leadership advocacy, and the institutional guidance and vision for coordinating campus-wide student success efforts affecting basic skills, transfer, Career Technical Education, completion, diversity, and equity at Fullerton College. This committee will be responsible for the development of the SEA plan required by the State. Additionally, the committee provides recommendations on how to disseminate State Student Equity and Achievement (SEA) funds most effectively to improve and promote achievement and equity.

With the support and collaboration of the entire campus community, the committee will gather and share information and data, consult with constituencies, and serve as a repository of knowledge and as a catalyst for student success and achievement activities on campus. Engaging in this process, SEAC will prioritize and offer solutions, recommend resources, and evaluate effectiveness using appropriate indicators of student success.

SEAC will be co-chaired by a faculty member and an administrator. SEAC reports to the Faculty Senate and the President’s Advisory Council. Recommendations for expenditures and allocations are approved by the Faculty Senate and the President’s Advisory Council.
