Deputy Chancellor Rowena Tomanang and Dr. James Todd of the Chancellor’s Office presented the changes, which clarify that colleges should provide comprehensive education plans to non‑exempt students within the first academic year \"to the maximum extent possible,\" and add definitions and data elements intended to align local practice and statewide reporting. Todd said the rules are intended to specify \"what\" students should receive, while leaving campuses discretion about \"how\" to deliver services.

The discussion era focused on whether the regulation’s phrasing — which references advising and \"other educational planning services\" alongside counseling — could dilute the role of faculty counselors or be used to justify reduced counselor staffing. Several professional groups urged caution. \"Counselors are the guides who help students explore their interests, solidify their goals, and map personal pathways to achievement,\" Wendy Burlweinkoop, president of the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges, told the board during public comment. The Academic Senate raised similar concerns, stressing that counseling is a distinct faculty discipline that requires investment and manageable caseloads.

Board members and chancellor’s office staff discussed implementation supports and clarified that the revised regulations remove a sentence that had allowed loss of registration priority as a penalty for missing plan‑related steps. The chancellor’s office said it will issue guidance, pursue continued data‑ and technology‑support strategies and coordinate professional development so colleges can meet the new expectations.

After final debate the board approved the regulatory action. The roll call shows an approval with recorded abstentions: Adrienne C. Brown and Syrian Villavicencio were recorded as abstaining; the motion otherwise carried.

Jory Hadsell, executive in residence at the chancellor’s office, described how an AI fraud‑detection model co‑developed with End to End Services (branded in presentations as Light Leap AI) began as a local solution at Foothill‑De Anza and spread by demonstration to West Valley‑Mission and Santiago Canyon. \"From those 3 colleges, adoption spread quietly and quickly…as of today, 48 colleges in our system have locally adopted this solution,\" Hadsell said.

Santiago Canyon College President Jeannie Kim said her college removed roughly 10,000 fraudulent enrollments last fall, and after implementing the vendor model and verification steps the college enrolled about 8,000 legitimate students in those seats. \"We have a 99 percent efficacy rate with the implementation that we have done,\" Kim said, describing a multilevel verification approach that includes ID checks and bilateral information sharing across colleges.

Kiran Koditala, chief executive of End to End Services, told the board the company and partners have processed \"close to 3,000,000 admissions applications, and we caught over 360,000 fraudsters,\" numbers he said were produced in the product’s recent deployments. District staff credited the chancellor’s office Digital Center for Innovation and work on common integrations for enabling faster, secure rollouts across districts with different student information systems.

Speakers also highlighted other AI‑powered tools: Santiago Canyon described a newly developed apprenticeship‑tracking assistant that will reduce a three‑year manual backlog for 7,500 apprentices; presenters said the system has already processed several hundred degree and certificate substitution cases in beta. End to End and partners showed how OCR and large‑language‑model techniques are being tested to ingest handwritten applications from incarcerated learners and to map courses across colleges for the California Virtual Campus.

Board members praised the work but asked detailed questions about governance, student data protection and whether smaller, rural colleges will be able to adopt the tools. Faculty and the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges urged stronger shared governance and consultation: \"Consultation council and other stakeholder groups can offer valuable perspectives on how to structure industry partnerships, safeguard student data, and ensure new tools truly serve the educational experience,\" said Wendy Burlweinkoop, president of FACC, during public comment.

A virtual public commenter questioned vendor privacy policies and urged local control over data: \"No student should be forced to give highly personal information to another corporation,\" said Omar Zavala, who asked for full disclosure of verification partners and retention policies.

Chancellor’s office staff said data governance and the statewide AI council’s \"human‑in‑the‑loop\" principles guide pilots and that they will pursue standard privacy, opt‑out and integration policies through a newly expanded data governance advisory work group. Presenters said the goal is to keep humans in critical decisions while using AI to triage high volumes of work and reduce staff burnout.

The announcement, read aloud after closed session, did not include public debate; the board reported both actions as unanimous. The board did not release additional contract terms during the meeting.

The appointments were disclosed as the public meeting opened and were reiterated in the president’s opening remarks. The board did not take additional public comment or discussion about the personnel actions during the open session.

The actions will be reflected in the Chancellor’s Office leadership roster and prompt administrative next steps for onboarding and contract filings. Any further public materials or contract documents were not presented at the meeting.

The program targets tutoring, climate action, food security and other community needs while offering students work experience, networking and debt‑reduction benefits.

Josh Friday, director of the Governor’s Office of Service and Community Engagement, told the board the program is modeled as \"a GI Bill with this very simple deal: if you're willing to serve your community, we're gonna help you pay for college.\" He said last year’s program filled thousands of slots: \"For our over 3,000 positions, we had 11,000 applications,\" a data point officials presented to show student demand.

Miguel Dueñas, vice president of student services at East Los Angeles College, described on‑campus impacts: the campus has placed fellows into internships and observed students complete certificates and transfer to the University of California and California State University systems. He said 22 fellows from ELAC have enrolled at four‑year institutions and many remain connected to the program.

Fellow DJ Nunley, a recent College Corps participant now enrolled at UC Berkeley, described how the stipend and service experience changed his trajectory. \"I joined College Corps, and I'm honestly say it changed my life... Without them, I would have never been able to be accepted to UC Berkeley,\" Nunley told the board, describing how service roles and financial support let him continue his studies and serve incarcerated learners.

Board members praised the program’s equity focus and asked about scalability. Friday said the governor proposed state budget expansions and that California has kept the program funding largely state‑driven: historically only a small share of College Corps funding came from AmeriCorps; the administration is pursuing additional partnerships to sustain and scale the program amid federal uncertainty. He and trustees discussed expanding the program to high schools, creating regional partnerships with nonprofit and workforce boards, and examining how AB 540 (Dreamer) students access stipends. Officials said Dreamers can participate and receive the stipend through campus fellowship structures.

Public commenters — family members of a fellow — described personal impacts and urged continued support for the program.

The plan centers five activities: a rural college transfer collaborative, a regional dual‑enrollment community of practice in the Inland Empire, expansion and targeted incentives for community college baccalaureate degrees, wider implementation of the Program Pathways Mapper (PPM), and a near‑real‑time auto‑matriculation pilot for ADT completers with the California State University.

Deputy Chancellor Rowena Tomanang and visiting executives outlined the goals and data strategies. The rural collaborative is intended to help colleges serving \"university deserts\" create cross‑college course sharing via the California Virtual Campus and partner with out‑of‑state and nonprofit universities where regional CSU/UC capacity is limited. Ginny May and Dean Aaron Larson emphasized workforce alignment for degrees in STEM, education and agriculture and better support for place‑bound students.

Program Pathways Mapper — a faculty‑led, guided‑pathways tool the presentation said is already in use by more than 78 colleges across three states — will be a central element to clarify semester‑by‑semester maps, reduce excess credits and make transfer requirements visible to students.

The board also heard about a pilot to use the common cloud data platform to share near‑real‑time ADT completion information with CSU, enabling campuses to reach out proactively to prospective transfers before stopouts occur. That pilot will start with the common cloud demonstration cohort of districts and colleges already feeding data into the platform.

Board members emphasized practical issues: tracking students who attend multiple colleges in a year, aligning quarter campuses to semester mapping, and ensuring students know about nearby CSU/UC options. Several trustees urged the chancellor’s office to develop metrics that distinguish system performance (for example, students who are \"transfer‑ready\") from external constraints, such as UC/CSU capacity.
