The link to the comment section for the strategic plan doesn’t work. I can’t log in because I’m not an administrator. If anyone ever reads this, I think that childcare assistance for disabled students, especially ones who take classes online, should be a priority.

@NotFred: Why make a big show of saying how much you value everyone’s comments when you have no intention of doing anything with them? Public involvement at PCC is really “involvement theater” and a waste of everyone’s time. I do agree that much of what passes for public process in Portland is like this – a lot of show with very little ROI for anyone who takes the time to participate.

For my first AAS degree in printing technology from Fullerton Junior-College in 1978. Math requirements included basic math and then “related math” which was focused on the trade-skills by major. The relevancy of this made successful completion likely for AAS seekers. Also as a vision thought.. I believe a class in personal finance was required as well, with more real-life problem solving. Relevant issues to the students not transferring to a 4-year school.

As a long-time PCC employee, I have no faith at all that any staff contributions to this effort will have any impact at all. When you try to have a say, you are ignored. Three or four people at PCC make all of the decisions – the rest of us just get to live in their world. :-(
