State Budget Update Chancellor Martha Kanter presented information on the state of the budget for the next academic year. Highlights of the report include: No COLA from the state No hiring freeze expected, but lots of belt-tightening anticipated Compensation for growth will be less than 1% Our challenge is to avoid incurring more on-going costs Martha indicated that her door is always open for questions and comments and that a multi-year spread sheet is available from Andy, Vice Chancellor of Finance. Announcements Carolyn announced that the Senate annual retreat will be held this year at Hidden Villa on June 16. Senators are asked to invite new members to attend. Note that we have the facility from 1:304:00 p.m., with the first half-hour devoted to socialization and refreshments. Rosemary Arca announced that the 2nd SLO Convocation will take place on Friday, Oct. 24. The focus will be on assessment. Senators are asked to make the announcement to their constituents. Mike Murphy reminded the Senate that we no longer have a VP of Technology as the position has been reorganized. He also reported that the new hot issue from the Chancellors Office is environmental awareness. Finally, as member of the IP and Network Revitalization Committee and ETAC, he reported that the committees are working on issues related to the District network, with wireless implementation at the forefront.

CTIS Division Assistant Hiring Committee: Sandi Watkins, Verley ONeal, Mike Murphy, Beckie Urrutia-Lopez, Jerry Cellilo Human Resources Advisory Committee: Konnilyn Feig Interim Dean of Biological and Health Sciences Division Hiring Committee: Kathleen Austin, Gillian Schultz, Cara Miyaski Dean of Biological and Health Sciences Division Hiring Committee: Kathleen Austin, Gillian Schultz, Cara Miyaski Professional Development Leave Committee: Maureen MacDougal, Keith Pratt Scheduling Committee: Karen Gillette Committee Needs Faculty are needed to serve on the following committees. Contact Carolyn if interested. At-large faculty to serve on Bruce Tamblings TRC (Fine Arts Dept) 2 faculty to serve on the Due Process Committee for 08-09 Action & Information GE Handbook Carolyn presented a draft for a first reading of the curriculum guidelines for general education courses for the areas of Social and Behavioral Sciences, English, Humanities, and Communication and Analytical Thinking. Subsequent discussion included the following: One question was asked about whether the first part of the GE handbook (the narrative of GE in general) was being revised. Carolyn answered no. Inconsistency of the GE descriptions was pointed out; Carolyn reported that the CCC had discussed this at length and agreed that standardizing the format was not pedagogically important, thus had declined to standardize the criteria. One senator opined that an information competency criterion should be in place in every area, not just in the Communication and Analytical Thinking area. A suggestion was made that a model of the process be laid out in the GE handbook. After some discussion, it was clarified that GE descriptors need to be clear but that they dont need an assessment piece attached. Senators were asked to please be sure to bring the guideline drafts to their constituents for comments and suggestions. The Senate will take a vote on the descriptions on June 16. CAC/APM Update Carolyn handed out the board policies to be presented for comment. The policies are: Student Equity, Enrollment Priorities and a Policy and Procedure for Course Repetition. Publication of Instructional Materials Board Policy Update Carolyn clarified that the Ed Code states that instructors cannot charge a fee for materials used solely within their district. This specific issue is, therefore, off the table as a negotiated item. The FA had significant problems with the current draft, however, so negotiations between FA and the District will be resuming in the coming months. Academic Freedom Board Policy Update De Anza has formed a committee to work on the academic freedom policy and will invite 17Թ senators to attend. The meetings will probably be scheduled starting next fall. The Academic Freedom statement from 17Թϒs Tenure Review Handbook has been given to the De Anza Senate for review. Board Policies First Reading The following policies were brought to the Senate for comment: Environmentally Sustainable Practices Board Policy Access Control Board Policy Intellectual Property Board Policy Grade Changes Board Policy Senators are asked to bring the policies to their constituents for feedback, and comments should be forwarded to Carolyn. The policies are available on the Senate website. Report from Roundtable Carolyn announced that the new information system will take three years to implement. The steering committee to oversee the implementation process will consist of one faculty and one staff member from the District, not one from each college. Upon hearing some faculty concern, Fred Sherman reminded faculty that ETAC is the body for developing policy and procedures of the information system, where the oversight committee only provides guidance for the implementation. Fred assured faculty that the steering committee will only do oversight. Carolyn Holcroft-Burns adjourned the meeting at 4:03 pm.
