Calendar with dates for our regular meetings this quarter October 2nd October 9th October 16th October 30th November 13th November 27th or December 4th October 13th is the area B meeting to be held at Canada College. An issue may arise if there are petitions before the state academic senate that need to be brought before the FH senate first. We will endeavor to anticipate and present those issues. 17Թ and De Anza senates will meet together twice during the year, ideally before the fall and spring plenary sessions. Thirteen new faculty were hired at 17Թ who will need at large TRC members during the spring quarter. Please share the list of these faculty with your division. Rob Johnstones name was added to the list of administrators who need to be evaluated this fall. Paul Starer presented the 10+1 PowerPoint authored by Mark Liu and Ian Walton. This presentation will be posted to the senate website. In this presentation Paul stressed the areas of governance that were of faculty primary reliance, how the senate participates in shared governance. The board may delegate certain responsibilities to the senate. Faculty should be involved in new job descriptions, especially those of the dean. Paul reviewed the 17Թ Senate composition. Each division is entitles to two senators. There are three officers, elected for two years each. Currently President and Voce President are elected in even years (2006, 2008) and Secretary Treasurer is elected in odd years (2005, 2007). Senators may be removed for non-attendance. Senators represent their division, and not necessarily themselves, and should vote accordingly. Any and all faculty members may influence the agenda. Faculty should contact Paul Starer at least ten days before a meeting if they have such an issue. The senate follows a flexible Roberts Rules of Order. Wee need about one week to prepare the agenda, bind the minutes, and circulate at least 5 days before the meeting. Additionally, we are covered by the Brown Act, which makes virtually all of our actions a matter of public record. Proxy votes are enabled by a three-day advance written note to Robert Cormia (secretary treasurer) email is okay and actually preferred for archive purposes. Paul listed 12 goals for the senate this year: Scholarships Basic skills / SLOs Matriculation / placement Professionalism faculty fatigue Recruit non-participating faculty Need an elections committee Senate constitution Report / status of folding GE into curriculum Need a senate committee for faculty response to block scheduling Faith Milonas from FA addressed the senate regarding the presidential search committee. Discussion revolved around whether an alternate to the committee really provided gender or and ethnic diversity. How best can the senate respond to the administrative request, and also to the FA request. One senator suggested diversity could take many forms. Faculty that understand and represent the future of the college are the very best diversity of the college. Diversity may also represent our class backgrounds. A motion to vote on the letter presented by FA to have the 17Թ Academic Senate support this effort by directing Paul Starer to sign the letter was passed by a simple majority voice vote. Paul Starer presented information about the Pick-a-Prof service, which has requested the grades from 17Թ sorted by faculty and class. While these data are available internally, they are not shared with the larger public. Pick-a-Prof has requested grades from a majority of California Community Colleges, and while we have resisted this request, for privacy reasons, the State Chancellors Office has said that the State doesnt have a legal argument to fight it, and further that UC Davis fought it and lost. Senators are encouraged to share this with their division faculty. Faculty lounge issue. Four years ago it was agreed to have a place where faculty and staff could eat and have a place to meet, relax, and share ideas. Our Measure E plans were well underway when it was discovered that finding such a place might prove challenging. Bernadine Fong supported the idea of a lounge, and further underscored that it would have to be a staff lounge, meaning faculty, classified, and administrative personnel would be equally welcome and encouraged to use such a facility. At this point it is not completely known whether we will have such a staff lounge as new construction is completed. Presidential search committee vote. The senate conducted a vote using our committee selection procedures adopted in the spring 2006. Senators read each of the candidate's statements, and selected two candidates to forward to the presidential search committee. Voting was conducted using a paper ballot. The Brown Act required ballots to be signed and dated, and may be inspected at anytime by any faculty member or member of the public who wishes to see them. Brian Evans and Janet Spybrook and Robert Cormia, tallied and certified the votes. Nine candidates prepared statements to be shared prior to the vote. Thirteen qualified ballots were received. The senate will forward the following names to Rose Myers, chair of the search committee: Paul Starer and Dolores Davison The final vote was: Paul Starer 9 Dolores Davison 6 Rick Martinez 5 Sara Seyedin 3 Sid Davidson 2 Bea Cashmore Penny Patz addressed the senate and spoke about diversity, and the importance of gender and ethnic diversity for faculty names forwarded by the senate to the search committee.
