Senate Business and Chancellor's Visit
- Questions and concerns were previously emailed to the Chancellor.
- The Chancellor provided thoughts and perspectives on the questions to the best of their ability, though some details were unavailable.
Discussion Points:
1. Potential for Nursing and HTEC program students to gain practicum/internship opportunities at the proposed clinic
- The county CEO had expressed openness to providing internships/practicums as allowable.
- Specific details to be negotiated in the agreement with the county.
- Opportunities would be available for both DeAnza and Foothill students.
- Scope of the facility raised as a key factor in determining what opportunities would be allowed by accreditors.
2. Impact on existing campus services and activities
- Potential overlap acknowledged with De Anza's health services, but the county clinic serves the broader community.
- Impact on the DeAnza flea market to be assessed, and alternative locations explored.
- Need to involve Joel Cadiz from facilities to understand specs, footprint, revenue impacts, etc.
- Parking impact expected to be minimal given enrollment trends, but to be monitored and addressed if needed.
- Enforcement of parking permits raised as an issue, with cost implications cited.
- Suggested bringing in Danny Acosta to discuss parking logistics and options.
