In the final schedule, where conflicts occur between F2F and online courses, the scheduling preference will go to F2F. Academic freedom discussion on October 12th with Gerhard Casper. Parking problem is acute in the mornings, but a recent drive through the campus at 10 a.m. found some parking space still available. We are still 300 spots fewer than last year. Some faculty may be sharing parking stickers with students, which creates further problems when they park in faculty lots. Future senate meetings have been announced on meeting maker. They will be October 3rd, 17th, 31st, and November 14th, 28th, and December 5th. The meeting on October 31st is a joint 17Թ DeAnza College meeting, which will meet at DeAnza. Minutes: Motion to approve the minutes was approved. Consent calendar: Consent Agenda comprised appointment of individuals to serve on tenure review committees and presented for approval. Londa Larson and Brian Stanley were approved to serve for Joy Crevier, and Patrick Morris and Richard Daley to serve for Amanda Norick. Phuong Lam will replace Nicole Gray on David Marascos TRC. Rachael Mudge to serve on the Chancellors teaching and learning and FRAMES. Motion to approve consent calendar was approved unanimously. Meeting Paul Starer gave a presentation about the basis of power for the senate. Education code requires that community college districts create academic senates. The senate can address the board without time limitations. Paul discussed the ten plus one areas of responsibility. The board may overrule the senate for economic, legal, and fiscal hardship issues. FA is required to inform FH/DA senates before starting the collective bargaining process. Our senate comprises and executive committee of two senators from each division, and an executive council of a president, vice president, and secretary. Our minutes and agenda are posted on the senate website. The senate requires a one-week notice for new agenda items. The Brown Act requires the senate to deliberate on an item before action. Our senate requires a three-day written notification if a senator needs a proxy vote to be in effect. A copy of this presentation has been posted on the senate website. Mike McHargue resolution. The senate moved to suspend the rules for acting on new business, as we needed to act on October 3rd in order for Paul Starer to take the resolution to area B. A motion to approve a resolution to propose Mike McHargue for senator emeritus was approved unanimously. Paul will bring a formal reading of the resolution to the senate next week. Paul reported that overall student enrollment is down about 1% at 17Թ, and DeAnza is flat (over 2004-2005). We need to focus on higher student enrollment or we may lose our growth funds in 2005-2006. For every 1% of student growth, the college will receive one million dollars. Conversely, a drop of 1% student enrollment could cost the college one million dollars. This may be a good time to look over new courses, especially short courses in math and English. Enrollments in higher-level math are down, and lower level math is up. There are some anecdotal statements that basic skills courses are filling and that additional sections are not being offered. Enrollment in ESL courses is significantly lower. Basic skills courses are still in great demand. There is a sentiment among some senators that the marketing department at 17Թ is overtaxed, and that the administration should be funding more outreach activities. The CTIS division has had some marketing support in an attempt to boost enrollment. Some suggestions for marketing included targeted messaging to students based on their education profiles. Other colleges have experienced declines in enrollment, with approximately 75% of colleges reporting declines of about one to five percent. Other suggestions to increase student satisfaction ranged from parking conditions, having an automated phone attendant to better route calls, and a more user-friendly website. Senate committees the senate needs to from four committees, an elections committee, a constitution committee, and a GE / curriculum review. No senate officers may serve on the elections committee. Senators are encouraged to inform their divisions that the president and vice president offices will be open in spring. Additionally, a block scheduling impact committee will be formed to report on impact of the scheduling. The faculty handbook will be reviewed this year, but is not anticipated to be an extensive effort as so much work was done three years ago. At 3:30 Paul Starer left to attend the board meeting that was held early to accommodate the Jewish New Year, at which time Dolores Davison took over as President. Rob Johnstone made a presentation on FRAMES, 17Թ Rubric Assessment Model Education System, that will include an assessment of the four Cs, which will augment assessment used in our accreditation standards. FRAMES will be an important component of our Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) efforts. Intrinsic reasons for using FRAMES include reflection on how we are meeting our 4C goals. Faculty are encouraged to talk with each other about SLOs. FRAMES will collect and analyze existing student work from approximately 100 assignments. Stipends of $333 per quarter will be available for 5 or 6 faculty who will provide 5 to 10 hours of effort each quarter during the year. One team for each C will provide evaluation. FRAMES will model our approach to the Johnson County Rubrics. The senate ended the first session with a review of our 2005 2006 goals: Scholarship Basic skills Matriculation and placement Professionalism Newsletter Committee appointment procedure Robert Cormia will work with Shelley Schreiber to ensure that the senate website has the most current information, including the revised 2005 senate constitution. Last, a quick, straw poll was done to see if senators could meet from 2 to 4 p.m. in future meetings. The meeting was adjourned at about 4:20 p.m. 0N]ac  "24OQ x6]H*5\ 01MN]^78yzp q x t   w x [\LM34de$%st01=>klmnoprstuvwx & F 1h/ =!"#$% i8@8 NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH 0@0 Heading 1$@&>*2@2 Heading 2$@&5\<A@< Default Paragraph Font.U@.
