The committee expressed concerns over medical assisting, slated to begin in fall 2025, as well as other allied health programs to be rolled out. Sharyn Eveland reviewed the concerns and looked at main issues for admin to address and main issues for academic senate/curriculum to address. Sharyn reiterated that the current administration is aware of the concerns and is working to address these issues. A motion was made by Kelly Kulzer and seconded by Kristi Richards to draft a memo and send it to Academic Senate stating the committee’s concerns, specifically regarding the Medical Assisting Program. The committee supported the interest to work with administration, collegially, to address concerns and delay the program starting for at least one semester until processes, etc. are in place. Darcy and Vicki will work to finalize the memo and send to Academic Senate.
