3. Approve Minutes: On motion by Bob Brown, seconded by Cindy Hooper, the

4. Discussion Items, Mike Richards
4.1 April 19 Senate Agenda Draft: probable Ad-hoc Nomination Approval
item #4.1 item. There will be no Faculty Qualifications approval request.
Add FDC recommendations.
For item #5. Discussion: nothing specific yet but there is a lot of interest in
the Distance Ed. Standing District Committee with not enough
information to talk about it, yet. Probably not a future discussion item,
either.
Item #6. Reports: Marketing Task Force confusion around FTES; ask Paul
DeMark to report? There were wonderful ideas coming out of the meeting;
for instance, to have registration tables at the Math Fest and Humboldt
Fair. Faculty Profiles Initiative can be added. We need more positive
directives. What are the strategies? Perhaps VP of Student Services can
report on what we’re doing about enrollment. Maybe have the EMC report
on enrollment strategy, followed up with Paul DeMark’s report on MTF?
Cindy will do the IEC report. Program Review, BPC, and RIFs will be
postponed till May 3 if they are reported at all.
4.2 Schedule Executive Committee Meeting Week of May 13-17 to Approve
Curriculum Recommendations: Tentatively scheduled for May 13 at 10 AM
in the Senate Office.

5. Announcements/Open Forum: The whole reorganization is creating turmoil
with Senate Rep replacements due to not knowing who will be Division
Chairs, etc. Some is contractual and it all ties in with whether people want to
be on committees, Senate representation, etc.
6. Adjournment: on a motion by Cindy Hooper, seconded by Chris Gaines, the
meeting was adjourned at 11:29 am.
