12:06 pm
• President's Report o
During College Council (January 27 th ), Donna Gibson was approved to join College Council as a voting member. Does
Classified Senate want to explore adding an additional member?
Perhaps we can discuss this in a future meeting.
Student Senate has updated their bylaws. A draft will be forthcoming, and President Shin requests that folks review it and provide feedback if anything conflicts with regulations.
Scott Hildreth gave an update on the campus signage project, which has been two years in the making. Sixty-six signs will be produced and placed around campus within the next few months
(hopefully). Phase two of the sign project, which will require another bond, is to put signs on and inside campus buildings. o
During Chancellor’s Council meeting (February 9 th ), it was shared that the hiring committee for the VC ESSS is aiming to forward a name to the BOT for the March meeting.
VC Fong shared that his department is currently developing a list that reflects the status of all recruitments in the pipeline. This list will be shared with the college presidents. o
Dr. Walter has formed an ad hoc Institutional Effectiveness
Partnership Initiative (IEPI) workgroup, which Catherine Powell and I have joined. Our first meeting was February 10 th stated in Dr. Walter’s email:

Budget and resource allocation and linkages to strategic, technological, and educational master planning.
Shared Governance Process.
Design and implementation of a continuous improve process that facilitate achievement of our mission once these structures are in place.
o
On Wednesday (2/17), Dr. Thompson and Jim Matthews, cochairs of the Accreditation Committee, held a meeting, which I attended, to address the issues presented by ACCJC that must be corrected by March 2017 to become fully affirmed. During the meeting, we discussed the visiting team’s concern that while the College has devised a survey method of assessing
Institutional Student Learning Outcomes (ILOs), there does not appear to be broad dialog about assessment results across the
College. We started brainstorming ways to start that campuswide dialog and methods of documenting our dialog.
o
Dr. Walter will be joining us at our next meeting (March 18) to share more about IEPI and other initiatives on her radar.
