Announcements: Wednesday November 9th John Schupp will be speaking on academic freedom Ц this will be a faculty event only. The resolution for Mike McHargue for Senator Emeritus status passed in area B. FSA applications are needed as soon as possible, and certainly by February 2006 in time for any March 15th notice. Senators should let all faculty know that they should do this. Administrative evaluations are needed for several administrators; the process needs to be completed by December. Next senate meeting will be held at DeAnza October 31st, which will be a joint 17│╘╣╧ De Anza College meeting. Our senate will meet from 2:30 to 3:00 p.m., then jointly with DeAnza from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. Dave Sauter added to the consent calendar for GE efficiency. Meeting The minutes and consent calendar were approved. Jane Enright talked about the sexual harassment policy. Two board policies were combined into one policy, with sexual harassment policy contained as a subset. 17│╘╣╧Тs administration is negotiating with FA on the section of the document related to academic freedom. Jane discussed the section of the document related to academic freedom and classroom environment; student freedom is the right to have a good learning environment to learn without harassment. Creating an environment that a student didnТt like is not harassment. The FHDA policy added language about the СlearningТ rather than Сworking environmentТ. The goal is to get approval of this document by the end of fall. Public domain survey Ц Bob Bahr will be surveying faculty activities to use and generate public domain materials in their courses. The survey would ask if faculty are using or developing public domain material. The senate has been asked to approve the survey. Senators should send suggestions to Bob Bahr by October 31st. Debbie Budd spoke on enrollments. In 2004 Ц 2005 FHDA did not meet cap, and were given one year to make up the growth of 3 to 4 %. Last year FH was down 300 FTES, and DA was down 1200. 17│╘╣╧ needs to grow 2%, and then 2% more, to reach cap, and get back to our base as quickly as possible. PFE funding has now been attached to enrollments. A decrease of 1% in non-residents was observed, possibly spouses of H1B employees. Math and English enrollments are both down. Each 1% decrease in enrollment is related to $1 million dollars less funding in our budget. Each 10 point increase in WSCH / FTES productivity is also related to an additional ~ 1M in the budget. Our target WSCH / FTES is 560 FTES, which is very high. There was a sentiment that 17│╘╣╧ needs to market much harder. Is 17│╘╣╧ marketing effectively to our Сnon-traditional studentsТ? There is concern that our front desk is inaccessible, and administration and records is very hard to reach. Some senators commented on the need for more friendly registration procedures. Has block scheduling affected our enrollments negatively? Both PE and FA divisions have been impacted by the move to block scheduling. Paul Starer reported that John Schupp, who will be addressing the college faculty on November 9th, will be paid by the college, so we will not need to tap into our funds. The Senate meeting time will move to 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. starting on November 14th. The resolution on moving the start time to 2 p.m. was passed unanimously. Four committees for the senate need to be staffed - the faculty handbook, elections committee, GE curriculum efficacy, and block scheduling committee. Elections committee Ц Carolyn Holcroft-Burns, Brian Lewis, and Mary Thomas. GE Curriculum efficacy Ц Dave Sauter and Konnilyn Feig Block scheduling / efficacy Kim Lane & Laura Robinson Faculty handbook Ц Dolores Davison to chair, with Mary Hawkins, and Carolyn Holcroft-Burns Paul Starer reported on area B issues. Paul must support executive committee decisions, and Dolores Davison will vote based on the will of the senate. One issue that has been brought up is the Black ruling (Black finding) from the ChancellorТs office in 1995. This 1995 legal review said that for issues involving academic integrity, faculty can only fail a student on that single exam or assignment, and not the entire course. Other key issues in area B involve curriculum approval for online courses. There is a concern that distance education may not have enough constant student contact for good pedagogy. The state academic senate has suggested that online courses should be approved separately. Is 17│╘╣╧ in or out of compliance with curriculum approval? Processes to determine reassigned time for senate officers is another key issue in area B. Rob Johnstone discussed the FRAMES program, and the need for faculty volunteers for this year. Dolores Davison, Carolyn Holcroft-Burns, and Janet Spybrook have volunteered to serve. We need PSME faculty and fine arts to serve. Compensation for service is $1000 for three quarters. The FRAMES program review panel will visit and educate divisions. Scheduling resolution Ц Janet Spybrook suggested that students are being turned away from basic skills courses. Should the college prioritize the scheduling of more sections of basic skills courses? 87.5% of students who took the placement test actually enrolled in courses in fall, indicating great demand for these courses. Same basic skills courses have filled, and may be a block to entering other courses Ц is there a bottleneck forming? Some data on basic skills enrollment trends may be hard to interpret. English enrollments are down, and basic skills enrollments are up. Faculty fatigue issue Ц Robert Cormia. Is total faculty workload increasing? Are there unrealistic amounts of service needed? Respect and compensation issues, including pressure to serve, are on the rise. Burn out is an issue across the state, and FACCC is conducting a survey on faculty burnout. There is a lot of service required to keep the campus running well and growing. Activities including course and program development, which is often uncompensated, are sometimes taken for granted. Robert Cormia will gather data from senators for a broader discussion about faculty service. Compensation is a working condition, but СserviceТ is a professional issue. Should we limit the number of committees that faculty are allowed to serve on? How can we encourage other faculty to serve? Bob will quietly poll people on the senate about faculty fatigue. There is simultaneously pressure to improve productivity, sometimes at the risk of pedagogy. A high district productivity number may be a form of pressure on deans and then on faculty. Pressure can come from many sources, including peer faculty. The meeting was adjourned at 4:34 p.m. 0QauwЗКy|u w БМ№№······H*5Б\Б 12PQ`a╬╧╤╥CDPQYZЛМ6 7 z { N¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤√¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤М■NO ╦╠ghNЕ╗├┼op╠═\]ДЕЖЗИ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ИКЛМ¤¤¤ 1Рh░╨/ ░р=!░"░#Ра$Ра%░ i8@ё 8 NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH 2`2 Heading 1$@&5Б\Б<A@Є б< Default Paragraph FontМ8     12PQ`a╬╧╤╥CDPQYZЛМ67z{N O  ╦ ╠ g h NЕ╗├┼op╠═\]ДЕЖЗИКЛОШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0АА0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААЪ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААЪ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААМNИММ}Г?
