(h) Courses and training implementing affirmative action and upward mobility programs.
(i) Other activities determined to be related to educational and professional development pursuant to criteria established by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges including, but not necessarily limited to, programs designed to develop self-esteem", and

Whereas most college staff development programs have generally accepted the wording of item (i) as having been interpreted as including "programs designed to develop self-esteem", and

Whereas the words "including but not necessarily limited to programs designed to develop self esteem" have been used as rationale to provide staff development programs in the areas of self esteem, and

Whereas the organization 4C/SD (California Community College Council for Staff Development) feels that self-esteem programs including wellness are significant, appropriate, and valuable parts of full and rich staff development and Flex Calendar programs,

Resolved that the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges recommend that the Board of Governors approve self-esteem and wellness programs as authorized uses of staff development funds.
