IPBT Summary: The Road to Qualitative Decision Making

Heidi presented slide show ipbt_regroup.pptx that reviewed IPBT’s charge, what we have accomplished so far this year, key terms,  outline of new position prioritization plan, and timeline to accomplish prioritization by the end of Spring 2021. Desire to ensure that our process would not pit one affinity group against another was discussed. One suggestion was to have Dr. Holmes/Senior Staff choose which positions should be considered as positions directly focused on equity.

At our first meeting of Spring quarter, April 13, the list of positions will be available. IPBT’s first task will be to decide on our direct-equity positions.
