Dear AAAFSC Members,
Please join us for our Spring 2022 Strategic Planning Meeting on April 20 from 4pm-5pm (virtual), where we will discuss the future of AAAFSC. During our meeting earlier this semester, the Executive Board discussed data around the numbers of Asian and Asian American faculty and staff on campus as provided in this race/ethnicity excel sheet. As a result, the Board identified some key areas of focus for AAAFSC to pursue moving forward:
Promoting Asian American faculty and staff achievements
Promoting and expanding Asian American leadership
Asking for more precision, clarity, and transparency with language around race because of how it is attached to resources. This is particularly unclear in the use of terms such as “underrepresented” or “unevenly represented” which seem to have targeted contexts.
Collecting more student data:
Asian American students broken down by college
Asian American students’s attrition/GPA/success
We welcome any feedback or additional concerns you would like to raise prior to and during the meeting as we continue the important work of supporting our Asian and Asian American community members.
We will send out a meeting reminder and link later in April. Many thanks and hope to see you there!
AAAFSC Executive Board
