Please take time to help us get this information. Three members of senate are receiving tenure: Theresa Ong, Debbie Lee, and Eta Lin Pam Wilkes Library updates library has concluded a site license for The Chronicle of Higher Education online. Link is available on the library home page ( HYPERLINK "http://www.foothill.edu/library" www.foothill.edu/library). No login is required on campus; off campus use your campus wide ID to authenticate. The library has an art exhibit for the Womens History Month about the expected roles of women. PDL committee still needs faculty to serve. You cant serve if you dont have tenure, or applying for PDL. Bruce McLeod might volunteer if the meeting day were switched. Accrediting commission is seeking members. It is a two year term with possibility of a second two year term. Jane Patton, President of Statewide Senate, is a point of contact. The issue of prerequisites has passed statewide senate, so it will be easier for colleges to add prerequisites to courses. Dolores passed around information about joining statewide senate. The state picks up cost of traveling, although most meetings use CCC Confer. There are no guarantees that youll be picked, but statewide AS is always looking for good people to serve. Announcement for commencement speaker there is still a need. Donna Frankel just returned from the FAC conference (FACCC) Minutes from February 7th (corrections and edits of substance) minutes approved. Minutes from February 14th approved with changes from Pam Wilkes. Consent calendar KonnilynFeig has agreed to serve on the food service committee. Steve Williams is a new senator from language arts (for winter/spring). Dolores forwarded a list of BSS faculty serving on the BSS interim dean hiring position. Any full time district employee who meets the minimum qualifications in the District may apply. Motion to approve consent calendar was approved. Bill of Particulars on February 14th many faculty were concerned that the BoP did not address the concerns of faculty about VPI dismissal. Dolores commented that technically faculty are not required to include faculty on hiring committees of (cabinet) administrators. Dolores asked what thoughts the senate (and faculty) might have about the BoP? Judy Miner has offered to meet with the faculty again this quarter, or at least every quarter. President might want to come and explain how the budget issues will fare at 17Թ. Dolores asked what other items the senate would like to see addressed regarding the BoP and cabinet. A senator mentioned that after the VPI hire they were informed to follow the directions of the VPI, and they grew to like and respect them. The manner in which the decision is made was sudden and without explanation, and left faculty feeling unsettled. While personnel decisions must be kept confidential, it left faculty wondering what they might expect next. (Uncertainty). Not having a VPI left material results. Cabinet members asked if there was something that could be done now to fix the problems that had occurred (in ESL and otherwise) and restore the process. The department acknowledged that they learned significant insights from the VPI. Senators spoke up that the process of the VPI dismissal was done in such a way (not following expected norms) that faculty were shocked at the lack of both a process and a rationale. Cabinet members spoke about the need for open communication venues. A senator commented that it is also the responsibility of faculty to speak up, and to continue up the leadership chain (dean, cabinet, president) until they feel their issues have been heard. Figure out what your issues and work to figure out a solution. A senator brought up an upcoming division meeting where the president is speaking but faculty are not aware about why the president is coming. Communication and transparency is part of open leadership. Given that budget issues are coming, and people are on edge, it is especially important that people understand why things are happening. Comments about how the VPI sought out truth (comments) and that she is gone, and now we are missing open leadership. It was mentioned in the case of a dean whose contract wasnt renewed, the process of formal evaluations was done. There were comments about open leadership, transparency, and the need for confidentiality in personnel issues. A faculty commented about the tone of leadership, and the need for management to move towards the difficult tone of needing to cut positions. Its legitimate that people recognize the hard feelings among staff. Faculty commented that the College has been losing people for a long time, and we havent had settled leadership and management. We have had a lot of management turnover, as have other colleges. Every college is hiring now, and many people are leaving positions in colleges in the Bay Area. Comments about the need to do a better job transitioning between the handoffs of positions (and projects that are needed). Dolores offered to help faculty find answers and solutions to problems. Library faculty feel that they have tried to be heard regarding their issues, but have not been successful. Lack of day-to-day administrative oversight has left areas without adequate management. The LRC has had a new administrator every year for the last 5 years. One of the points in the Bill of Particulars asks that faculty be included in important organizational decisions affecting them, but the library faculty have not been consulted. Theres a feeling that as a division they have become invisible.. Faculty commented about the fear factor of going to administrators for clarification. Faculty have been scolded about going over their deans for information. Faculty in divisions have commented about transparency versus open, such as deans making budgets, and that faculty need to be involved in these decisions. On the flipside, many faculty advocate responsibilities to their deans, and other deans look at that and assume thats the way it should be. Faculty should take on the activities that are expected of them. There are a lot of faculty who are coasting. Some new faculty arent doing work they should be doing. The apathy observed might be cyclical. Some faculty have been burned by particular committees, and have pulled back. Administrators commented that their job (responsibility) is to help others do their job. Besides the tone issue, we do need to keep our spirits up. As we cut 7-10 or up to 17 million dollars, not every set of decisions can be transparent, but faculty should be involved in important decisions. There should be expectations of faculty to access administrators in an open leadership environment. The collective we should be involved in the decisions that the College makes. Updates on the library and the tutorial center are of interest. They are reporting to PaRC next week. In terms of the BoP, does the Senate want to go on record making a statement about open leadership. Dolores => travel policy, parking, good standing senators. Events held less than 70 miles from the College away would not qualify for lodging. Motion to approve creating funding for sending faculty to these events was approved. Course studio training was held at 3 p.m. De Anzas senate passed a resolution on the democracy commitment project. De Anza will bring this to the plenary session in April (they are bringing it to area B). Area B meeting will be held at De Anza College Friday 3/25 (that is the Friday of finals week). Conference room A of the Student Center. Budget update => Dolores talked about the need for faculty to organize their thinking around prioritization of departments, transfer, basic skills, and workforce. Lifelong learning is not a priority under the current state guidelines. Shirley Barker spoke about the budget and the need for the Colleges to provide to the District a balanced budget under the best case scenario. 17Թϒs cut of $10.5M will be 3.3 to 3.6M, but in the following year would be $5M. Maybe offer more courses to bring up enrollment and capture more WSCH. Dont want the Board to have to ask for deeper cuts to bring the budget in balance. There are $10M, $17M, and $25M budget reduction scenarios. Having to meet the FON (Faculty Obligation Number) is a double challenge. There are a lot of rooms that are available in non-prime time courses (late Friday afternoon) Friday afternoons and Saturday classes. What would attract a student to come to us during that period? The census date issue was dropped, but the drop date has been suggested for change (possibly to 50% of the quarter). The proposal to add sections is critical to keep enrollment high so we dont slip to a lower compensation rate (CAP) from the State. The message is enroll as many students as possible. We might pull a start date forward for an alternative summer quarter to pull students into the 2010-2011 academic year. There might be a one-time MOU for faculty to take on a larger load. The P1 report should show a strong summer and fall, allowing the District (Board) to adopt a budget with larger numbers. The larger load could also be taken on by part-time faculty. Sociology and psychology are developing transfer degrees, kinesiology is planning on it, and math may consider it. Communications transfer model may also be ready by fall, for a total of perhaps four transfer degrees. Degrees go through the standard curriculum model, and then to the Board, who will accelerate the process to meet the State deadlines. SB1440 requires the college to award at least two associate degrees for transfer by Fall 2011 . The general education requirements for a transfer degree will not work for a general (AA/AS) degree, and vice versa. Curriculum reps should have already shared that with faculty. With transfer degree implementation and other curriculum issues from the state pressing on faculty, there will be trainings for faculty April 9th (a Saturday) for local college faculty. Limited to 5 faculty per College. Topics will include the transfer model curricula and development of transfer degrees and developing prerequisites. Accreditation: Site team visit date will be the 24th of October. All faculty should be looking at the Standards that will be posted on these websites. Standard 4 is up, most of 2 and 3 are up, as is the introduction; Standard I is still be worked on. COOL talked about quality and online learning; discussions will continue on the topic.
