1. Accreditation Evidence Review:
 II.A.12: GE components of programs and degrees: AP 4025 is in college council and/or out for
constituency approval for updating. All areas are verifiable or part of the curriculum process/course
proposal.
 II.A.13: Verifiable, point to outcome mapping. Include narrative from outcomes assessment and
include ILOs and course proposals.
 II.A.14: Verifiable, include assessments, advisory committee discussions, external agency
certifications, which are blended into curriculum; and CTE outcomes survey.
 II.A.15: Point to AP 4021 process; specifically what was done for recent discontinuations (AJ and
HPRC, Marine Science). Catalog has statement about course changes-may want to revisit this issue.
Revise 4021 to include a procedure, or create one?
 II.A.16: Curriculum stoplight, IEC report, program review, assessments, designed to include dialog,
advisory committee dialogs, rubrics used for program review.
 Moving forward, Angelina will come back and familiarize everyone on how to record and store
evidence. (CP computer). Assign those who will report.
2. Brief Directors/Deans Status Report:
 Ron: Academy full 40 enrollments. They are developing a telepresence course for fall 2016, with
DN for first two parts of academy, which will bring in 35 FTES if successful.
 Dave: Strong enrollments in Chemistry, Biology and Psychology. Added additional night chemistry
and biology sections. MSBSS met with counseling and received detailed information in pathways.
Discussing offering a themed Math 120 for students on a career path.
 Rory: Pelican Bay-beginning face to face for credit 2/2/16.
 Cathy: Library-participating with statewide group on how to provide library services for
incarcerated students. DE-Gearing up with new curriculum for telepresence and DE. Hosting a
curriculum workshop for DE proposals. Evaluation Kit demo this semester. Researching setting up
tutoring through Canvas.
 Sheila: Working with faculty to approve GS1 for DE. Late start classes help counseling provide
needed classes for students.
 Alison: establishing an information session for nursing students. Formed a task force with local
nursing leaders to develop a partnership for creation of a baccalaureate degree pathway for nursing
students. Melody Pope is filling Kady Dunleavy’s position, leaving a position vacancy in DN.
 Marla: Ag field day, Saturday, February 7, on campus. Dual enrollment requests will be coming in
and Marla would like to meet with Deans. A 3rd business class being offered at DN and also a new
Drafting class. CTE dialog statewide is discussing including some fees and student costs in the
BOG waivers.
3. Enrollment Initiatives Update:
o Dual Enrollment (Marla): early requests from Arcata and Fortuna. Due date is today.
o PBSP (Sheila): included above
4. One-year Scheduling: Schedule for faculty review should go out this week, with an April 4 deadline.
This is a test cycle which will be evaluated for trouble areas.
5. Curriculum Stoplight: Discussion underway to revise the curriculum stoplight to reflect changes in
forms and coding. 5-year revision policy at CR means you get 5 years plus one, or the course will not be
allowed to be offered. Goal is to initiate revisions at 4 years, so it doesn’t go to “red”.
6. BPs/APs: Over 300 BP/APs need to be updated before the accreditation self-study visit. Academic
senate is taking the lead on 4000 series instructional policies; 3000 series have been delegated to student
development leaders.
7. DE Course Development: Intent is to coordinate stakeholders and create a top down strategy for
development of online courses, and provide bottom up support. The draft handout identifies some high
priority courses that meet OEI, Transfer and GE requirements. OEI goes live fall 2017, so there is time
for course development and approval. To be on the exchange, course and section has to be evaluated,
approved, and the person assigned to teach has to be trained to OEI standards of pedagogy. CR is hoping
to be able to offer training locally. Handout includes an electronic link to the OEI rubric.
8. Vacant LVN at DN: Agreed to open the position in DN; an announcement will go out soon.
9. Summer Scheduling – FT priority: Past practice indicates the institution offers full-time faculty first
choice to teach in the summer, even though it is not in the contract.
10. Gripes/Heads Up/Rumors
o Evacuation Drill (Feb 4th) at 10:30am.
o A form has been created to allow feedback from constituents for revising language in negotiations.
Complete and send to Mark.
