Meetings will be in room 3404 from 2 to 4 PM. Two February meetings are back to back due to holidays. -Senators should email Paul Starer with the years for which they were appointed to serve in the senate. -Course materials selection policy information will be sent by Paul Starer via a PDF document or made available through an internet URL. Senators are to review the information for a January 23rd discussion on the topic. Trustees are considering some policy revisions on related topics and there is no current policy in place for 17│╘╣╧. -Faculty are needed for committees: -Sandi Urabe needs a faculty member for a search committee to staff a NASA internship coordinator. This position is a faculty position funded partially by a grant. -Counseling needs an at large faculty member for Andrew LeeТs TRC. He is in phase 2 of the process. -On January 25th, during the college hour (noon to 1), Don Dorsey and Paul Starer will lead a discussion on handling disruptive students. -Members of FA were present to report on the negotiations and the cancelling of the work to contract order. Their report included the following: -Negotiations had taken place over the holiday break. -A tentative settlement had been reached that included changes in compensation, summer pay, and pay for part-time faculty. No agreement was reached on the issues of a 5th PAA level. -The arguments regarding productivity of faculty were not seriously considered. -FA is informing faculty not to take adds in classes. -The effectiveness of the work to contract notice was undetermined, but may not have been as useful as had been hoped. There is a bond issue approaching and the school needs the support of the faculty to gain approval. Approval of the Minutes Only change was that the term one-half was left out of the Part Time Senate Representation discussion, midway across 6th line of paragraph. This was only on some of the copies. Minutes were approved with amendments as noted. Consent Agenda Approved without changes. Action and Information Items: CCC Update and Discussion Dolores Davison - Postponed Marketing and Enrollments - Fraknoi and Starer A discussion was led by Andy Fraknoi and Paul Starer regarding what the senate might do to assist and improve the marketing effort of the college. Issues and points presented by Fraknoi included: -Some of the marketing materials prepared by / for the college are very disappointing in their content. They make little reference to the quality of education available at 17│╘╣╧. -Little is done by these materials that focus on our potential markets, particularly academic markets. -The shrinking pool of available students requires that we broaden our appeal. -His personal survey of marketing materials available to the general public indicated that other schools have materials available, but 17│╘╣╧ information is missing. 17│╘╣╧ sells the course catalog while other schools give them away. In general the approach could be giving the public the impression that we arenТt interested in additional students. -Fraknoi raised the question of whether should there be a marketing advisory group, could a Уsummit collegeФ be proposed for adult students. -Fraknoi further proposed that a higher priority be placed on marketing to adults due to the positive experiences he has had with adult audiences. -This information has been shared with others at the college, but has generated little action. Paul Starer supplemented the discussion with the following comments: -His concerns about marketing have been presented to the college with the response that it is not within the purview of the senate to be involved in such issues. -Any action by the senate needs to be formulated so that is can be presented as our issue. Discussion regarding the topic included several ideas and suggestions. The former speakers bureau was mentioned as a tool to reach a broader audience, particularly adults. Martha Kanter has stated that outreach is everyoneТs business. There are currently enrollment teams, primarily of administrators, to work on the issue of improving enrollment. We are not aware of the composition and activities of this group, but feel there should be faculty representation. Marketing has not taken individuals comments on how to improve seriously, and there has been a perceived entrenchment of the staff due to the recent challenges. Passing a resolution regarding improving marketing may be a fruitless effort and could meet with resistance, and when we have had marketing staff at our meeting we received little information. A plan of action was devised that would include the following: -The enrollment team for 17│╘╣╧ would be invited to the senate meeting on January 23rd to discuss their activities. -The senate would consider inviting marketing to a meeting with the intention of asking how the senate could make promoting the college one of its tasks and how the senate could assist in marketing the college. -Resolutions would be drafted to encourage the following: -Creating of a Уsummit collegeФ (to be drafted by Fraknoi) -To reinstitute the speakers bureau (to be drafted by Arca) -To encourage more short courses targeted at adult audiences (to be drafted by Spybrook and Sauter) Electronic Voting Feedback Starer Feedback was requested on the electronic voting test run completed before holiday break. The system tested was an in-house version that, if operable, would eliminate the need to purchase special software. Comments included that the survey allowed you to use the back button on the browser to revote, that there was at least one person who couldnТt vote, and one issue with opening the voting site. A decision needs to be made soon on whether to utilize this method of voting so the upcoming elections can be conducted electronically. Robert Cormia will be asked to do another trial run that addresses the above-mentioned issues. Public Domain Survey - Starer The public domain survey prepared by Bob Barr was reviewed again, with specific attention to the line of the survey that implies academic senate endorsement. DeAnza has approved the language as presented. Questions were raised about why are we doing the survey and the usefulness of the survey. It is being sent out to gain input on a recent board initiative addressing the high cost of textbooks. Comments were made that the survey questions were too broad, and that the questions didnТt distinguish between primary and secondary teaching materials. Input had been presented regarding the construction of the survey, but few changes were adopted. A comment was made that the survey should be approved to prove interest or disinterest. A vote today would be specifically on the language regarding the 17│╘╣╧ senate endorsement. MOTION: To approve survey language as presented, stating Уthe Academic Senates of 17│╘╣╧ and DeAnza request that you complete the following surveyФ ACTION: Approved (yes=6, no=3, abstain=1) Senate Scholarships - Action Starer A request was made by Paul Starer to increase the amount of the senate scholarships from the current $500 to $1000. A suggestion by Mary Thomas to add more scholarships was made, and this is possible. Further discussion on the number of scholarship may take place at future meetings MOTION: Moved to increase the senate scholarship amounts from $500 to $1000 ACTION: No action taken, no quorum.
