Andy Fraknoi announced a small grant to bring the discoverer of the 10th planet to 17│╘╣╧. The new planet, and its moon, is named Xena and Gabriel. Paul Starer announced that he is running for re-election as senate President, and Dolores Davison announced she is running for re-election as Vice President. Language arts announced the need an at large TRC, and as a reminder, that faculty must have completed the TRC training process. Meetings for winter quarter will be January 9th, January 23rd, February 6th, February 13th, March 6th, and March 20th. Approval of minutes and consent calendar The minutes from January 9th were approved with spelling corrections as noted. The consent calendar was also approved. Student scholarships Ц a resolution to raise the student scholarships from $500 to $1000 for the current two scholarships was passed on a vote of 14-1. Faculty speaker Ц a committee needs to be formed for the faculty speaker for commencement. Harry Saterfield withdrew his name from the list of nominations. A resolution to vote on the list of faculty, and allowing part-time and non-tenured faculty to speak, will be brought forward at the January 23rd meeting. Marketing resolutions - Three resolutions were brought forward regarding marketing and promotion activities for the senate. Discussing the first resolution, it was noted that there were 8,034 Сsingle course takersТ enrolled in fall quarter. Do we know the types of courses that our community would like to take? Are we targeting the right groups of people? It was noted that we havenТt run a satisfaction survey lately. The consensus of the senate was having two or more resolutions combined, rather than three separate, could be as effective. Senators suggested taking faculty out into the public to give talks that might attract more interest. Outreach is everyoneТs job, whether PAA is given or not, or whether stipends are offered, as it is a matter of professionalism. JanetТs resolution for short courses, cutting the sections down into smaller pieces, makes it easier for students to take courses. A question was raised about how to cut courses down into smaller pieces. It was agreed that no matter how the resolutions were written, they should all start with СAcademic Senate is concerned about enrollmentТ International student W and F grading policy Ц Robert Cormia spoke about issues with international students requesting that a СWТ grade be changed to an СFТ in order to maintain student visa status. He described a situation where he was pressured to change a W to an F for a student who had turned in only one assignment, where clearly a СWТ was the proper grade. Pressure to change grades can come from the student, from the division responsible for international students, and from division deans. Title five gives faculty the sole right to assign a grade, and it was suggested that students should not be counseled by International students division to put pressure on faculty to change a grade, solely to protect the studentТs visa status. There is an incorrect assumption that the faculty handbook requires that an F grade be issued if a student fails to attend a final exam. Growth questions Ц Debbie Budd talked about the Winter 2006 enrollments, and it appears that we are even with Winter 2005 enrollments. DeAnza added Job Core to their FTES numbers, and they are up by 4%. $4300 is the current funding for credit FTES. Debbie presented growth measures from 17│╘╣╧ and DeAnza, and Freestyle High School was discussed. Other ideas were keeping arts and music alive, creating a student success center, and a center for tutoring. Expanding the NASA program, and offering some additional courses in spring were also mentioned. The college could also target life-long learning, including PACE, accelerated learning for adults on Saturday, evenings, or online. The electricians program (apprenticeship) was cited as having high success, as well as hiring an outreach coordinator. We have been allowing smaller classes to run, which adds WSCH, but affects productivity. Roundtable might be a good place to host a broader dialog on how to increase outreach. We still need numbers on: head count (unique students) and FTES. We currently have 17,000 students, but only 4400 are taking two or more courses. Need a segmentation study to see these data more clearly. Bond measure $500 million is sought in a bond that only needs a 55% vote. Debbie Budd presented a long list of proposed items. New buildings are needed for additional capacity. Goal of the new bond is to complete measure E, build a smart campus, and growth efficiency. Bond will include a citizen oversight committee. Photovoltaic arrays are included for energy. Bond will be almost $500 million and will cover building as well as FFE for faculty. President Fong Bernadine Fong addressed the senate about the campus, her retirement, etc. CTIS division is down 2%. Silicon Valley index is up. College needs to transition faculty into new areas, including biotechnology, bioinformatics, informatics, and nanotechnology. We will have an interim president for one year, hiring someone internally or externally, then hire permanently for 2007-2008. She commented that she might continue to work with Stanford on educational activities, and help maintain our architectural standards. 0\iикєїЪЬик╢╕┼╟╨╥рт*,ЙЭ#2N P [ p ║ ц ,<е№№·········№№·№№№H*5Б\Б" 12[\jkмнKLыьlmхцИЙ"#Z [ . / ╣ ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤√¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤е■╣ ║ +,═╬█▄РСаб夤¤¤¤√¤¤¤√¤¤ 1Рh░╨/ ░р=!░"░#Ра$Ра%░ i8@ё 8 NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH 2@2 Heading 1$@&5Б\Б<A@Є б< Default Paragraph Fontе*     12[\jkмнKLыьlmхцИЙ"#Z[. / ╣ ║ + , ═╬█▄РСабзШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААЪ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0АА0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0ААЪ0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0АА0ААШ0ААШ0ААШ0АА0ААШ0ААШ0ААе╣ ееХ Щ зз   Robert CormiaiC:\Documents and Settings\robert\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Minutes 1-23-06.asd Robert CormiaiC:\Documents and Settings\robert\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Minutes 1-23-06.asd Robert CormiaiC:\Documents and Settings\robert\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Minutes 1-23-06.asd Robert CormiaiC:\Documents and Settings\robert\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Minutes 1-23-06.asd Robert CormiaiC:\Documents and Settings\robert\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Minutes 1-23-06.asd Robert CormiaiC:\Documents and Settings\robert\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Minutes 1-23-06.asd Robert CormiaiC:\Documents and Settings\robert\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Minutes 1-23-06.asdRobert D.
