ITEM
1.0 GENERAL FUNCTIONS
1.1 Meeting called to order at 2:45 pm.
1.2 MSC (Matthews/Ho). Approval of Minutes from November 4, 2010
Meeting.
2.0 REPORTS I
2.1 Administrative Evaluation Jan-Dec Calendar year cycle – George
Railey
Forms can be found on HR website. The two forms of evaluations are
Annual and Comprehensive (Every 3 years) Evaluations per ARP
4120. The Annual Evaluation involves goal setting, appraisal, and
formal feedback. The Comprehensive Evaluation involves goal
setting, appraisal, and multisource/multirater 360 review). HR
contracts out to third party for 360 review for tabulation.
Jim: Constituency groups seem lost in HR’s document, even though
ARP 4120 (p.5,http://www.clpccd.org/board/documents/4120ARP.pdf)
refers to confirmation by the Academic and Classified Senates of
respondent group members in the appraisal team.
Discussion Items
Laurie: To fulfill the duties for the vacant VP of Business, some
options are having someone from District helping out and sharing the
duties among VPAS and VPSS.
3.0 ACTION ITEMS
3.1 Photography – change? vs. Discontinuance
3.2 Peer Evaluation Forms
4.0 DISCUSSION ITEMS
4.1 Release time- Report by Andrew Pierson
Andrew met with deans and faculty informally about programs with no
fulltime faculty as well as issues regarding reassigned time. An idea is
to allow for 3 CAH of release time per division for every 150 CAH of
courses. Social Science wasn’t enthusiastic about the idea, and some
deans worry that everyone would expect the persons with release
time to do all the administrative work just as adjunct review, SLO, etc.
Chabot Academic Faculty/Senate Minutes of December 9, 2010
4.2 Committee on Program Discontinuance Policy report
In considering what to do to avoid de facto discontinuance of
programs that have no fulltime faculty advocating for them, on
suggestion was to ask Deans to specifically address programs
without fulltime faculty in program review summary, as a way to draw
attention to those programs.
Jeff: Full timers don’t always advocate well for adjuncts if the full
timers’ interest is at stake—it’s just human nature.
Eric: After investigating the situation that brought the issue to our
attention, the big picture direction is that a faculty member needs to
be the person looking after program without full timer.
Jim: Program review needs to have faculty input of how to cut a
program.
Andrew: Dean’s summary initiates program revitalization or
discontinuance.
Kathy: We need to share each other’s courses for degrees-in an
interdisciplinary fashion.
Jim: View as articulation agreement between colleges.
Laurie: Faculty sets minimum course offering. If offering falls below
the minimum, then it sets off discontinuance process.
Ming: Communicate to students the impact to program when there’s
cut. Cut methodically to be able to communicate to students their
expected time to completion.
Kathy: ECD already doing what Ming says.
Jim: Program page—we are not following what’s in the catalog. The
programs listed in the catalog are supposed to be followed so that
students know when courses are offered to complete their program.
Eric: Whatever we do, we need to do it bottom up in program review.
Jim: From the bottom up, no program would ever die.
Jeff and Andrew: What procedures need to be in place to initiate
program discontinuance and manage program without a full timer?
4.3 Curriculum Committee: change to charter and elections
Jane will be new Curriculum Chair for two-year term. The Curriculum
Committee is working on line of succession and the job description of
the Chair and Vice Chair as changes to its charter.
Motion/Second (Matthews/Wang) that Jane Church be the Curriculum
Chair for a two-year term from Spring 2011 through Fall 2012.
Pilot for waitlist begins summer. Sections would be identified by
March. Looking for participation in pilot, especially from high impact
sections. Section piloted will not have prerequisite.
MSC(HO/Wang): Meeting extended.
4.4 Cheating Policy
Ming: Faculty Senate had approved back in Fall 2008 a procedure for
faculty to report to Office of Student Services, based on previous
2
Chabot Academic Faculty/Senate Minutes of December 9, 2010
Senate effort. It remains for the Office of Student Services to develop
procedure on handling faculty reports, so that ASCC can review it,
give comments, and send it to College Council.
Jim: Nursing has dealt with cheating extensively.
5.0 GOOD OF THE ORDER
5.1 State of our College – Divisions
Kathy: Need a way to define student success besides a degree or a
certificate. What kind of integrated solutions help students go further.
Jim: Library will probably cut hours in the evening. There are 50%
fewer students in the evening than 10 years ago.
5.2 Master Education Plan
Kathy wants an update. Lead person of the contractor met yesterday
with George. They will meet with every single division, student
government, classified senate. They will hold day and evening forums
for community and colleges. Send questions out ahead of time before
discussions to allow for additional questions.
District Facilities master plan. Wanda was called to interview
consultants— demanded that they look at Education Master Plan.
Wanda wants Ed Master Plan consultant to coordinate with District
Facilities MP folks.
Do we need to have a SB 1440 workshop on campus wide flex day?
Curriculum and APC will work on implementation of SB 1440, C-ID,
and alignment of courses between colleges. DCC agrees that faculty
need devoted time to address these issues. Alignment means that
classes can apply to degree at both campuses.
