REPORTS 1. Budget Committee – No Report DISCUSSION/DECISION ITEMS 1. Accreditation Report – Chad Mark Glen Chad began his report by thanking a “whole lot of people” who assisted in the preparing the college for its Accreditation process! He then provided the council with a overview of how the recent Accreditation process went. Key points of Chad’s presentation are as follows: • Commendations that the Accreditation team made are as follows: Office of Institutional Research Student centered campus Fresh & Natural Student Services • • • The college met seven of the previous Accreditation recommendations with the exception of Recommendation #2 that dealt with program review; specifically providing clear evidence that the college had developed a process that a process had been developed which integrated program review with unit planning and the allocation of resources. Chad went on to add that the Accreditation team members further offered the following suggestions: Need to develop a written plan that links planning and budgeting Create a plan to increase participation in SLO development Develop a written plan to justify AA and AS degrees Need to develop a regular program review schedule with a well publicized timeline That the college needs to un “silo” its governance structure That DBSG needs to conclude its work in time to so that the colleges can complete its budgeting plans in a timely fashion Finally Chad concluded his report by saying that he was his opinion that the college would be put on “warning” or be given “all of the same work as if we were put on warning, but without the label of warning.” 2. Faculty and Classified Professionals Prioritization • Yvonne provided the council with an update on how both the faculty and classified prioritization processes were going. She indicated that the Academic Senate was reviewing and apparently approving the latest version of the faculty prioritization process and that the classified professional process was in place. The development of timelines were all that remained for both processes to go forward and to assist the process she would gather all requests for both faculty and classified professionals made on individual unit plans so that everyone would have the same information. The meeting was adjourned at 5:09 PM. The next scheduled meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 11, 2009. Respectfully submitted, Gerald Shimada IBPC Member
