@Kate: “Academic and Student Services Planning is another part of this larger effort, and will address quality of instruction as part of its research and focus.”

Yes, but the quality of instruction will be examined through the (distorted) lens of “social justice”, “equitable” outcomes, and CRT. Therefore, great instructors will be those who hold the SJ ideology supreme over academic and instructional excellence. We see that already. On the pcc website we have :
Diversity Matters at Portland Community College
Recruiter hired to advance equity in hiring
(/hr/jobs/)

We don’t see: recruiter hired to find exceptional instructors with a commitment to academic excellence. Why? Because that’s not the goal of PCC hiring practice. It’s not about education.

@Kate in response to @An Actual Student
“The cost of PCC’s Integrated Planning effort has no bearing on instructor salaries, nor is it paid for by student tuition – these are separate budgets.”
While Kate’s response is technically accurate, An Actual Student is more spot one than he/she knows. PCC wastes plenty of time, resources and money to “guide” instructors in the ways of SJ, E and I. In addition there are many full-time positions dedicated to the “pursuit” of SJ, E, and I. The resources could be expended in improving/refining curriculum, but the agenda is NOT about academic excellence.
