4.0 DISCUSSION ITEMS
4.1
Education Master-Plan –Faculty/Division Input and Charrettes –Dockter
explained that the divisions and Deans have been asked for additional input not
included in their program reviews. These questionnaires are to be turned in by
February 6. There were questions of how detailed the Master Plan would need to
be. Donna Gibson wondered whether the master plan needed to be detailed
enough to guide: facilities, bonds, accreditation, and grants, such as HIS grant
that may be coming up. Jane Vallely suggested the senators go to the MIG site
and look at master plans that they have developed. Several Senators are
attending more wanted to go.
4.2
RBC – Shared governance Draft Document - Deonne Kunkel gave a report from
PRBC and the group of about 10 people who attended 3 workshops on shared
governance. It was reported that here was consideration of grouping BSI, SSP and
Equity together. The budget committee's function was discussed as well as
memberships in various committees. A draft of what was looked at so far will most likely
be available in a week. Deonne reported on the process that was discussed at PRBC
which lead to the call from the Senate from a different procedure. Item 4.2 lead to an
action item 3.2.
4.3
Equity Committee and Planning- There was much discussion of the process
that had occurred last semester on the equity committee. The definition or
meaning of equity that had been used to guide the selection of proposal was a
major point of contention. Other concerns were that some items were passed by
the ad-hoc committee, and some that were not passed by the committee still
went on to College Council.
4.4
FYE- Deonne Kunkel was there to talked about PRBC but also was asked
questions on FYE. The questions that the senate wanted to know are: What
are the goals of the FYE program. Is there a written proposal we can see? The
senate would like a report on FYE and how well is the program meeting its goals,
how effectively are we using our resources or what can we do to strength FYE
