2.2 CPR Criteria

Procedure | Information | Discussion | Action

Presenter: Wong

Time: 10

Notes: Purpose in establishing CPR guidelines is, first, to establish a clear and transparent process that articulates how and why programs will be added to the program review calendar. That criteria will inform the schedule of programs that undergo program review. Many new programs have been added, but are not included in the programming cycle. A major consideration is that program review should be a planning and evaluation tool that is connected to our education master plan.).

Procedure | Information | Discussion | Action

Presenter: Gubutina and Ocampo

Time: 75

Notes: Recording was stopped at this point to ensure confidentiality. Themes from the presentation and group discussion, and main points from slides, are listed here:

Deconstructing myth of model minority
“Asian American Dream” – move to “safe” neighborhood (farther from “black neighborhood”); graduate from elite university (get closer to white people); get a secure job (still hit bamboo ceiling)
The contradicting stereotypes of “model minority” and “perpetual foreigner” depend on racial hierarchy and anti-blackness
Racial triangulation theory
Category of “Asian” used to refer to many different groups
Resource: Asian Pacific Americans in Higher Education
Culture of shame in asking for help
Internalization in Asian immigrant experience
Intergenerational trauma
Skyline College Asian American Resource Guide
