Committee Updates and Reports
Academic Senate: Academics senate is considering Prioritization and Shared
Governance. Three retreats will be held to review our Shared Governance process this
semester. Academic, Classified, and Student Senates will be invited along with PRBC,
College Council, and any interested parties. The dates are most likely October 17th,
October 31st, and November 14th. The president approves and is involved in the
planning.
Prioritization: Prioritization meets next on October 6 with plans to continue discussing
updates to forms, membership, its process, the length of presentations, and data
coherence. Matt, Stacy, and Kathy will be meeting to discuss Prioritization as well, as
charged by College Council.
Classified Prioritization will report to PRBC the next time it meets.
CoOL: CoOL met with the chair of the Curriculum Committee and set up a process for
reporting. They are working to streamline CoOL processes with Curricunet.
Budget: Budget sent instruction to the campus on how to request Instructional funds.
Connie reminds us to carefully read instructions as the funds can be used for items we
haven’t been able to previously purchase. Areas need to read the instructions, use the
forms, do their research, and follow the timeline. Connie answered questions:
Bones, chalk boards, and musical instruments qualify. Repairs to instruments do
not qualify.
Use the most current pricing available.
