PUBLIC
COMMENTS
Jan Chadwick mentioned that the faculty in the Division of Natural Sciences is
concerned about implementation and support for CE6 (the software for online classes). Those faculty members have only one-to-two
hours of training and expressed the feeling that they don’t feel prepared to
use the updated software. She pointed
out that there will be no support over the holiday period, and the system is
going live with the spring semester. In
addition, there is no training for students.
V. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORTS
President’s Report
Proposal for
Growth Beyond Extended Day Funding—President Collins met with Jan
Chadwick, Miguel Powers, and Pam Lewin who together developed a proposal for the
allocation of Growth Beyond Extended Day funds.
Dr. Collins presented it to the Budget Development Committee yesterday and believes that we have something
workable that gives an accounting of where the money goes. The proposal is outlined below.
Whenever the District makes new ongoing
Growth Beyond Extended Day money available to
§
65%
of the funds will be given to the divisions that generated the growth, based on
the proportion of the new FTES they contributed. Divisions that continue to grow in subsequent
years will receive additional money from the 10% Reserve Fund (explained below). Divisions whose FTES declines in one year and
do not fully recover in the following year will have their GBXD budget
allocations reduced proportionally; however, their budgets
will not be dropped below the original base.
§
The
Deans’ Council will make a recommendation to the College
President regarding the ongoing allocation of 25% of the
new money to areas of campus that are financially impacted by growth beyond any
FTES they may or may not generate (e.g., Student Services, Library, Operations, etc.). In making their recommendation, the Deans
will consider information, provided by these areas, of the extent of the
financial impact incurred with the additional students on campus.
§
The
remaining 10% of the fund will be held in reserve and allocated to divisions
that generated additional growth in subsequent years or to pay for the
“one-year reprieve” of divisions that are in the first year of a decline. In years when there is no growth, or when new
growth allocates do not exceed the funds in this “account.” The Deans’ Council
will make a recommendation to the College President regarding her one-time expenditure of this
money.
Fred Williams will be giving a construction update for both
campuses at the Board of Trustees meeting to be held December 11 wherein he will
reveal the sources of money. Those
interested in what he has to say should attend.
The meeting will start at 5:30 at the Anaheim Center.
Treasurer’s Report
The Senate account has a balance of $3,216. Treasurer Karen Markley thanked those who
provided snacks for this meeting.
Student
Equity—At this point in the meeting, Dr. Chris
Lamm reported on the progress of the Student Equity
Committee. Its members have developed a
mission, plans, and action goals for this
year.
The 2004 goals with 2005 revisions were used to determine what
activities and services had been planned.
The committee is currently fact finding by means of personal interviews. The committee is to recommend policies,
strategies, and programs to the Senate and other constituent groups,
identifying best practices here and at other colleges. An additional goal is to design a new 2008 Student
Equity Plan with steps in place to implement it. The committee meets two times a month and
will be updating the Senate periodically.
Dr. Lamm will have a written piece for the Senate in the spring
semester.
VI. CURRICULUM COMMITTEE REPORT
It was agreed that in Dr. Combs' absence her report would be
e-mailed to the Senators. It appears below for the record.
There has not been any additional curriculum sent to the Board yet. However, a number of proposals will
be going forward next Tuesday. There is no anticipation of delays in
Board approval as all proposals do have the
President's signature and the "blessing" of DCCC (at this point DCCC does not vote on
Revisions, only new courses, but there were no objections).
The Curriculum Committee will be working via e-mail on revisions to our
now non-compliant AAs in Liberal Studies and UTS. The deadline for approval of
these revisions that are still "in the works" is the next scheduled
meeting of the Curriculum Committee on January 23, 2007. The goal is to
add "Areas of Emphasis" to bring them into compliance with new Title
V Regs.
Faculty from departments scheduled for six-year review this year need to prelaunch revisions in
Curricunet as soon as possible. The Curriculum Committee
will not be able to process all 250 courses in its last two meetings;
therefore, proposals should to be prelaunched by early February, if possible,
to allow sufficient time for them to move through the approval process before
the end of the spring semester.
Dr. Combs reminds Senators that any and all curriculum proposals (including new
and revised courses/programs) must be prelaunched in Curricunet by March 26 at
the absolute latest or they may not be effective for fall 2009.
The Curriculum Committee is in the process of outlining the curriculum approval
process. DCCC, however, is currently examining
its role, and the Curriculum Committee may need to revise its process in
response. Discussions about revising administrative procedures regarding
the function and procedures of DCCC have just begun and will continue early in
the spring term.

VIII. OLD BUSINESS
Joint Senates/Union Meeting—The 16-week semester discussion has been moved
to Hot Topics,
and the State Academic Senate President will be addressing the
meeting on shared governance.
Chancellor Search Committee—Wednesday morning was the first meeting. An employment announcement, previously prepared by the Board of Trustees, was debated by the Search Committee. A timeline was
established with a closing date of February 26, application screening in
March, and choice of candidates to be interviewed by late March. After three
days of interviews in April, recommendations will be made to the
Board of Trustees.
If the
Trustees do not approve of any candidates send forward, they can pull from the
pool. The present Chancellor’s last day is June 30, 2008. If no candidate has
been hired by that time, it was conjectured that Vice Chancellor Jeff Horsley would most likely serve as
interim. The Board could also appoint someone
from outside.
Midterm Accreditation Report—Dr. Chamberlin has received a small amount of additional
feedback since the last Senate meeting.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
Student Success Summit—Dr. Rolando Sanabria reported that although the college has
received monies over the last ten years, student retention has not increased. Retention rates have gone down for certain
student groups. He proposed a Student Success Summit, the objective of which is
to develop a campus-wide student success plan that identifies specific
activities to address the educational needs of our students. The plan will then be presented to the Senate
and PAC.
It will also provide the college community an opportunity to share ideas
and plans for promoting student success in a collaborative setting.
The Summit
will be held in the College Center, Rooms 224, 226, and 228, on Friday, February 1, 2008, from 9 a.m.
to noon. Lunch will be served from noon
to 1 p.m. Those interested in attending should contact Sharon Kelly in the Office of the Vice President of Student
Services, at extension 27005.
