Andrew Fraknoi will appear on the history channel Monday evening. ETUDES NG there is free training on campus in Winter and Spring which may be difficult for all faculty to attend, especially adjunct. Four 3-hour courses on campus will be offered. Contact Kathy Fransham at the KCI to schedule. Correction to the consent calendar minutes from last meeting all faculty, not just at-large, must have tenure training to serve on a TRC. Main agenda Final exam creep calls into the senate office increasingly comment on the arbitrary moving of final exam dates. Some faculty have responded that academic freedom allows them to move the date. It is not within the senates concern to comment on the final exam schedule; this is an FA negotiated item and should be brought to the attention of FA to contact faculty. This fall there was an increase in complaints (from four separate deans) about finals creep and the finals scheduling issue. There has also been concern and questions, on the part of faculty, about dead week. Faculty (and students) are required to meet on the day of the final. If faculty are going to do something different during the finals week, they need to contact their deans. Faculty and students are required to meet on the last day of class. The senate office should consider reminding division deans that discipline of faculty is under their dominion. An examination of the block scheduling should show if there are more than two finals on a given day. When consent of the entire class is given, some faculty have moved the final time and or date. Other issues of concern include having very early finals for block-scheduled classes. Resolution on ETUDES NG: Carolyn Holcroft Burns presented a resolution on training and compensation for added work on the part of part-time. Because the 2-unit course is a WSC bearing course, waiving of the fees may be a challenge. A friendly resolution would suggest that we use the entire $5000 for compensating all faculty, not just adjunct faculty, for attending the 2 unit course. One senator commented that in addition to the fees, the time commitment of faculty to convert courses from Classic to NG is quite significant. Discussion revolved around allowing all faculty, not just part-time faculty, to be allowed to apply for fee compensation. Paul Starer again reiterated that the administration was steadfast opposed to extending the deadline on ETUDES NG, as well as compensating faculty (PT/FT) for the 2-unit course. Need a summit of faculty that participate in an NG alliance summit to collectively discuss the ETUDES NG issue. Robert Cormia on electronic voting The senate will hold an election in Winter, probably mid February, to ratify the resolution passed in December (Resolution on Part-time Senate Representation). 17Թ Institutional Research has set up a secure ballot on the Web, which can be accessed at  HYPERLINK "http://www.foothill.edu/senate/" http://www.foothill.edu/senate/ There are three questions on the ballot, per the resolution, which ask faculty if we should create an at-large senate seat for part-time representation, should we have a faculty-wide election to elect the part-time representative, and should we compensate that person $300 a quarter ($100 per month which is two meetings. Dolores Davison on CMS CMS curriculum issues activities this quarter include the GE descriptions of some of the courses, and looking at the C3MS curriculum system, at bugs etc. Smaller issues are cleaning up the basic skills course list, correct coding of the courses may help us recover more state reimbursement. Cataloging of our courses is also an issue / question as we develop more of an electronic document system nowhere in title V does it say that a catalog must be printed. Dolores reported that attendance and participation in curriculum committee has been very good. Bernie Day serves on a statewide committee to look at issues such as articulation and transfer issues with CSU.
