We have removed the summer stipend request from the formal agenda Different dates for drop between 17Թ and De Anza. Drop date must be earlier than 30% through the quarter (no grade of record) San Jose Mercury News has a searchable database for all salaries of all public employees, including costs of benefits. Salaries and benefits for 2010 are posted; years 2009 and 2008 are searchable. **** Comments about information - inaccurate information was reported out of the previous meeting and posted on a Statewide Academic listserv. This cause a fair amount of distress among faculty and administrators at West Valley / Mission College, as well as 17Թ. Information coming out of Academic Senate at 17Թ is often looked at carefully as we (17Թ) are sometimes thought to have 'inside information'. The Chancellor of West Valley Mission had to send out an all District email to clarify that West Valley Mission was *not* closing and not merging with West Valley Mission. The messages posted were not believed to have been done so maliciously, but were reported as fact when it was simply a merger of many rumors. Dolores urged senators to be as accurate as possible when reporting out information from the Senate. Dolores will be gone for the summer, and Bob and Carolyn will be part of the summer cabinet, and an additional senator would be useful. It's important to have a cabinet that can confer and meet over senate as important issues will come up, especially right now. Donna announced her satisfaction with the scholarship committee, and the importance of service on the committee, as well as benefits to very deserving students. The FA contract ratification vote is Tuesday and Wednesday on campus (it is a physical ballot); all faculty are urged to vote. Minutes from March 7th meeting (approved as clarified in the last rewrite). Minutes from April 11th were approved as amended. The consent calendar was approved. Plenary report out from Dolores/Carolyn/Robert: Dolores listed changes to the approved disciplines. Approved disciplines can be given FSAs, and in some cases minimum qualifications (min quals) may have changed. There were a number of resolutions in support of the transfer major. There were also resolutions concerning issues such as registration priorities, limited repeatability and W's. The Senate recommended removing 'activity courses' from the Title V language. The Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC) will suggest these to the Board of Governors. Michele Pilati was elected to be the next president of the ASCCC; her term begins 1 July.. Carolyn Holcroft: Hot topics in distance education => accessibility guidelines 504 compliance Resolution on Distance Education => Carolyn presented a resolution for accessibility for online materials and there are plenty of resources to help us. Websites and online material needs to be compliant. Resolution would include anything and everything that is sent out or posted electronically. This includes handouts, email, websites (pages in the portal) etc. A senator asked how many faculty state they are not sure about whether their courses are 504 compliant or not? As an institution, we need to check who is not compliant. Accessibility and compliance is an accreditation issue. A senator commented that there is such a drive to be paperless that people have moved to electronic documents. The resolution will return to our next meeting for action. There is a professional development day coming up Friday (professional development day) April 29th, with the author of The Young and the Digital. **** Patrick Morriss talked about a real-world statistics project, where students go into the real world and make real statistical measurements. One of the projects last quarter was regarding punctuality of instructors, and the statistical sample showed that 32% of faculty was late by 1 minute or more. Patrick spoke further about the importance of showing up on time for class. Professionalism of the faculty should be addressed (punctuality). This may be an issue to take up in a joint discussion with FA. Commencement speakers. Students nominate a pool of faculty and forward to the senate for 'approval'; faculty who are adjunct or not tenured are removed from the list, as well as those who choose to self remove. Senate approves a list and the list is returned to the students, who then vote on their first choice and offer the opportunity to that faculty member; if s/he declines, it is offered to the next vote getter. There will not be a keynote speaker this year. CTIS division as a distinct academic division will not continue. It will be absorbed into other divisions. When library was 'dissolved' into Language Arts, it was agreed that as of a particular date (in 2009) it was decided what divisions would have representation. As the college undergoes fiscal contraction, and potentially divisions are merged, absorbed, or dissolved into, how does senate representation occur? Do we want to look at a different model, or look at the divisions that were present in 2009 continue to have representation. Dolores noted that it is hard for some divisions to get two senators. This discussion will continue into our next meetings. Robert Cormia presented The Slide from the April 25th CTIS division meeting at which John Mummert informed CTIS faculty of the likely (proposed) plan to absorb and dissolve CTIS faculty and programs into BSS, Fine Arts, and PSME, during a transitional period (2011-1012) beginning in summer quarter. Faculty in these divisions would teach out their courses allowing students to select courses and complete their degrees and/or certificates. John suggested that in all likelihood CTIS faculty would be terminated at the end of the academic year (2011-2012). While FA did not attend this meeting, Linda Lane has since met with John Mummert. John stated that the programs were not felt to be 'cohesive' and effective in workforce development, one of the core missions of the college. Cormia shared with senators that a CTIS faculty was contacted by a De Anza faculty on Sunday April 17th, asking for an explanation of what was said, and the likely impact to De Anza faculty if CTIS programs were eliminated and faculty were RIFd. Cormia further shared that a De Anza faculty had created a Facebook group inviting 17Թ/CTIS students to state the value of CTIS programs and/or comment on the impact of 17Թ discontinuing CTIS programs. Cormia stated the importance of District administrators being on the same page about program discontinuation, in reference to emails sent from De Anza President Brian Murphy and FHDA Chancellor Linda Thor both stating that CTIS was not being eliminated and instead the plans for reorganization congruent with student demand and budget realities. Cormia stated that at the CTIS division meeting of April 15th it was unambiguous and unequivocal that faculty would likely receive March 15th notices (letters) as a result of program discontinuation. CTIS faculty members have met with their new/transitional deans and some had also been told, unequivocally, of impending notice of non-continuation of their contracts (i.e., termination of employment contract with the District). Additional discussion focused on the decision process to arrive at this plan, and the lack of faculty input. The economic realities of a 10 million dollar deficit at 17Թ made this plan, and other likely program cuts, an unfortunate reality. Mummert shared with CTIS faculty that it was important for the administration to share these likely plans such that they could have time to plan in advance (for termination of contract). Senate discussion revolved around the need for faculty input about which students we would not serve, and which faculty we would say good-bye to. CTIS faculty Mike Murphy and Sandi Watkins clarified comments Cormia made regarding program termination, and interpretation of John Mummerts remarks. There was discussion about a Senate resolution that we (Academic Senate) would have wanted administration to have come to the senate first with these plans, such that faculty were both collectively informed through a shared governance process, and that input was given by Academic Senate in regards to both program elimination, and how these decisions were made without direct/formal faculty input. Additionally, any 17Թ decision about program elimination and subsequent tenured faculty termination would have District implications. There were comments about the importance of not making decisions in a vacuum, in secrecy, or without collegial input and transparency. Senators pointed out that many faculty have multiple FSAs, and that CTIS faculty might bump into other divisions at 17Թ, including math, BSS, Fine Arts, etc. In broader implications, it was noted that 17Թ is farther into the process of considering responses to State budget realities, and that, De Anza is going more slowly, and our decisions would likely have bumping consequences. After further dialog it was decided that Academic Senate should have a formal response to the administrations proposed plan to eliminate CTIS, and additionally the importance of faculty input in program elimination; that resolution will be brought to the next meeting. Carolyn Holcroft talked about transfer degrees. They are not full AS/AA or discipline degrees - they are created to allow students to transfer to other CSU colleges and continue to complete a 4 year degree in that subject. The transfer degree is to help the student complete the GE and lower division requirements to make it easier for Community College students to transfer to CSUs and finish their work at CSUs. SB 1440 says that CSUs must accept the transfer degree. There is discussion about implementing a mandatory student success course (at community colleges) to make sure students are equipped to succeed in college. One of the problems is that on many of the transfer degree committees in Sacramento, there are a limited number of faculty and so other groups are trying to implement changes, etc. These degrees help make a pathway for students who know what they want to do when they transfer. Native degrees will not go away. TMC (Transfer Model Curriculum) will become popular, so faculty should try to build an understanding in TMC. The catalog this year is being pushed out to fall to make sure we get things finalized. Two AA-T degrees (sociology and psychology) will be in our catalogue for next year. Accreditation Update: all the standards are online on the accreditation home page; indexes and other supplementary documents are being finalized. The self study will be presented to the Board on June 6th; major work has been done by marketing, the Office of Instruction, and other groups to put the document together, As a closing announcement 17Թϒs swim teams place first and second in recent regional completion, men first and women second. The next senate meeting will likely be May 16th Meeting adjourned at 4:03    d      * J M Z \ e j k  { ҺҬᛉ{{m{\ hRhMTCJOJQJ^JaJhnY<CJOJQJ^JaJhWCJOJQJ^JaJ#hRh/GYCJH*OJQJ^JaJ hRh/GYCJOJQJ^JaJh\LCJOJQJ^JaJh\LCJOJQJaJh,CJOJQJaJh\Lh\LCJOJQJaJ hRhiCJOJQJ^JaJhCJOJQJ^JaJ$ e   [ \ " # X Y KLGgd\L d1$7$8$H$ Iu!*+JLPS\inIhs޴´´޴ަ´ަަަަ޴ަަ޴ފh@6CJOJQJ^JaJhJ!<CJOJQJ^JaJhrnCJOJQJ^JaJhnY<CJOJQJ^JaJhCJOJQJ^JaJhrCCJOJQJ^JaJ hRhiCJOJQJ^JaJ hRh/GYCJOJQJ^JaJ6GHabYZfg`a( ) ""?#@# d1$7$8$H$ *5NOw:t,4;c-4(SXӴӴӐ~#hnY<h@6>*CJOJQJ^JaJ#hnY<hnY<>*CJOJQJ^JaJ#h@6h@6CJH*OJQJ^JaJ hRh@6CJOJQJ^JaJhWCJOJQJ^JaJhnY<CJOJQJ^JaJh@6CJOJQJ^JaJ hRhiCJOJQJ^JaJ1_~< O W X ""X#^#b#d#u#w###%%%%%%&&')) * *U*ŷӷᷥ#hA hA CJH*OJQJ^JaJhA CJOJQJ^JaJ#hfhfCJH*OJQJ^JaJhfCJOJQJ^JaJhwCJOJQJ^JaJhnY<CJOJQJ^JaJ hRhiCJOJQJ^JaJh@6CJOJQJ^JaJ1U*b*,,;-@-a-b-c-r-s-u-z-- ...../00)0*030;0D00000Y1k1111 22(202@2e22222233X4a4-5/56A6ŴŦӘӘӘӊӊhCJOJQJ^JaJh"{CJOJQJ^JaJhHCJOJQJ^JaJ hRhSCJOJQJ^JaJhSCJOJQJ^JaJ hRhiCJOJQJ^JaJhA CJOJQJ^JaJhxrCJOJQJ^JaJ6@#,, . ...001133O4P499V:W:::;;-; d1$7$8$H$A66677<777777899#9*9,9-9I99999U:W::::::::::::: ;-;#hhCJH*OJQJ^JaJh"{CJOJQJ^JaJhCJOJQJ^JaJ hRhiCJOJQJ^JaJ&50P/ =!"#$% Dpf  666666666666666666666666666666666666666666 6666666666 666666666666 6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~OJQJ_HmH nH sH tH J`J Normal dCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA D 0Default Paragraph FontRiR 0 Table Normal4 l4a (k ( 0No List PK![Content_Types].xmlj0Eжr(΢Iw},-j4 wP-t#bΙ{UTU^hd}㨫)*1P' ^W0)T9<l#$yi};~@(Hu* Dנz/0ǰ $ X3aZ,D0j~3߶b~i>3\`?/[G\!-Rk.sԻ..a濭?PK!֧6 _rels/.relsj0 }Q%v/C/}(h"O = C?hv=Ʌ%[xp{۵_Pѣ<1H0ORBdJE4b$q_6LR7`0̞O,En7Lib/SeеPK!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xml M @}w7c(EbˮCAǠҟ7՛K Y, e.|,H,lxɴIsQ}#Ր ֵ+!,^$j=GW)E+& 8PK!Ptheme/theme/theme1.xmlYOo6w toc'vuر-MniP@I}úama[إ4:lЯGRX^6؊>$ !)O^rC$y@/yH*񄴽)޵߻UDb`}"qۋJחX^)I`nEp)liV[]1M<OP6r=zgbIguSebORD۫qu gZo~ٺlAplxpT0+[}`jzAV2Fi@qv֬5\|ʜ̭NleXdsjcs7f W+Ն7`g ȘJj|h(KD- dXiJ؇(x$( :;˹!
