4.3

Process will be presented on November 2nd to the committee with
Robert Yest

Jeff Drouin spoke with VP Thompson regarding the Emergency
clause and the process, if you have any retirements or
resignations after prioritization occurs, according to process it
reset every year, another way to mess with the process

VP Thompson asked Jeff Drouin to prepare something to
address the emergency clause, reason for 75% to 25% faculty to
be fulltime based on FTES does not have to be down to the
discipline level but it is being ignored

Are not receiving the same funds from the state because courses
have been cut

State considers 15 units are fulltime students

Suggestion criteria should be in a rubric with actual points,
showable cause for the decisions being made
Curriculum-catalog development, SLO’s

Need guidelines or recommendations from Faculty Senate
because faculty are not doing what they need to do for SLO’s,
student learning outcomes need to be on the syllabus

Accreditation team recommendation need to have SLO’s on
syllabus and possibly course outlines

This is or should be part of the contract that SLO’s need to be on
the course outline and syllabus. Deonne was asked by the
Accreditation team to produce syllabi’s with the SLO’s reflected

Contract says you have to participate in the SLO’s process but it
does not say you have to put your SLO’s on your syllabus

Accreditation team mentioned more than once that this is a
recommendation that was made last time during accreditation
and it is being said again.

Agreement this is a statewide request, not helping to not doing it

Syllabus is the contract with the student, no standard syllabus

Need to submit something in 2 months to Accreditation Team
showing our progress

Clara McLean motioned to recommend Faculty Senate to make a
recommendation to make sure in all divisions all faculty in all
areas are including SLO’s in all faculty syllabi, Kim Morrison
seconded motion, all approved
