Bragg, Room 106 B Smith River: 360 Bradford Avenue Friday, April 5, 2013 MINUTES Members Present: Mike Richards, Bob Brown, Steve Brown, Brie Day, Solomon DeCamp, Kady Dunleavy, Ryan Emenaker, Marcy Foster, Dave Gonsalves, Cindy Hooper, Susan Nordlof, Kevin Yokoyama, and Maggie White. Members Absent: Dave Bazard, Jennifer Gardner, Sandra Rowan, Utpal Goswami 1. Call to Order: Co-president Mike Richards called the meeting to order at 1:04 pm. 2. Introductions and Public Comment: Co-president Richards welcomed everyone to the meeting. No public comments were forwarded. 3. Approve the March 1, 2013 Meeting Minutes: On motion by Kevin Yokoyama, seconded by Ryan Emenaker, the minutes were approved without objection. 4. Action Item 4.1 Approve March 8 and March 22 Curriculum Committee Recommendations: On a motion by Kady Dunleavy, seconded by Steve Brown, discussion commenced; a member remarked that there were many inactivated courses - Peter Blakemore offered that many of those were a change of name. Senator Hooper stated that for Art, they are following the model for Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC) descriptors, cleaning up and streamlining the Art curriculum. Mark Winter then presented The Distance Education Regular Effective Contact document endorsed by the Curriculum committee, which follows Title 5 and Distance Education Guidelines for the California Community Colleges’ requirements. It would be used to improve course proposals and online evaluations as well as help faculty prepare and evaluate classes. It could be folded into the current DE form. There needs to be a regular evaluation of DE courses. The process to evaluate online classes has problems, and the hope is to have a cadre of faculty to volunteer to be evaluators. The intent is to inform students of the process, and have a quality control process to provide successful classes and students. It is essential to unify online courses across the board. Kudos to Mark Winter for all the work. The curriculum recommendations were approved by the following roll call vote: Brown – y, Day – y, Dunleavy – y, Emenaker – y, Foster – y, Gaines – y, Gonsalves – y, Hooper – y, Nordlof – y, Yokoyama – y, White – y. Academic Senate Meeting April 5, 2013 3 4.2 Approve Faculty Qualifications Recommendations: On a motion by Steve Brown, seconded by Maggie White, no discussion and the vote was taken: Brown – y, Day – y, Dunleavy – y, Emenaker – y, Foster – y, Gaines – y, Gonsalves – y, Hooper – y, Nordlof – y, Yokoyama – y, White – y. 4.3 Approve BP/AP 3100 Organizational Structure: On a motion by Kady Dunleavy, seconded by Ryan Emenaker, discussion ensued. A Senator mentioned that making the structure more readily available online would be very helpful to everyone, with ASCR representative suggesting that DN, MC and EKA charts should be consistent. The vote was taken: Brown – y, Day – y, Dunleavy – y, Emenaker – y, Foster – y, Gaines – y, Gonsalves – y, Hooper – y, Nordlof – y, Yokoyama – y, White – y. 5. Discussion 5.1 Review ASPC Draft of BP/AP 4260 Prerequisites and Corequisites: background given by Chair Wolfsen; during revision she contacted Jane Wright of CCCL who said the templates should be followed closely with few changes. Chair Wolfsen also spoke with Peter Blakemore, who confirmed that though the verbiage is awkward and redundant, he understood it all. The committee added Title 5 language but aside from that, stuck with league language. A Senator asked WHO is responsible for deciding about challenges and another Senator talked about past practices and that a faculty member should not have to be the sole person approving. The 5 day resolve text should be double-checked against Senate documents. Reference to a form could be included. It was decided to take the BP/AP back to committee, and then bring the changes to a future Senate Meeting for discussion. Attempts will be made to improve the formatting while sticking to the core of the CCCL template. 5.2 Assessment Submission Timeline: Erik Kramer gave a little background; discussed having deadlines so that work would be done; a big issue being that authority isn’t really in place for adhering to timely assessments. Proposals for deadlines – try to turn them in at the same deadline for grades in order keep to the software timeline requirements for posting online. Fall assessment could maybe wait through spring break, but spring assessments should not be held off until. If we waited till September for Spring assessments, these late assessments wouldn’t be online. CR is too large to have just one person responsible for assessment monitoring. Current MOU designates area coordinator responsibility, but it is not clear enough. A lot of the data for assessments comes from final exams, and through dialogue with peers. How do we move forward from here – as an action item? Work with IEC? They have a Planning Summit Saturday, April 6 - is that the right venue? There is a need to get something in writing in order to be able to incorporate it into Strategic Planning. It may get an endorsement (support) from Senate. Erik was asked to bring forward a synopsis of the plan. Copresident Brown will be at the Planning Summit and may help come up with ideas to make an Assessment Timeline work. 6. Reports 6.1 Committee Evaluation Task Force: Copresident Brown reported that Tami Matsumoto did a ton of work in a short amount of time. Eight individuals comprised Academic Senate Meeting April 5, 2013 3 the committee that will make recommendations for opportunities to reduce committees. Assessment and Program Review will remain separate. PR will work collaboratively with Administrative Services BS to be subsumed by EMC DE to be restructured as a subcommittee of EMC Expanded Cabinet to merge with IEC College Council still has much to do and for now will remain a separate entity. AOC as a task force of IEC SEC as a subcommittee of IEC MDC should stay separate BPC, FPC and TPC - merge with BPC/revise BPC to provide specific scopes of the committees IT task forces as needed to revise Technical and Facility plans Flex and Professional Development merged under HR with sub committees EPSC remains stand alone with assistance and training through HR Task force vs sub-committee? The distinction is that task forces are for short periods of time only, meeting as needed; a committee is a standing entity with regular meetings. Contract obligations will be a negotiation process. This task force was more about the need to consolidate and not to consider contractual boundaries. It’s become increasingly difficult to populate the committees due to reduced personnel. 6.2 Budget Planning Committee Update: Copresident Brown: there is no major update since the forum Thursday, March 28. The discussions included mandatory reporting to ACCJC. There will be a revision from the Governor’s office in May, but it shouldn’t change our bottom line projections. We will be going through Program Review requests which comprise more than $10 M. The reality is there needs to be funds for PR requests, but how much money is to be allocated is not known at this time. 6.3 Basic Skills Committee: Erin Wall told the Senate that at the last meeting they were made aware of a budget problem. Remedial courses vs. federal needs; in looking at reading and math courses that do not reach high school levels, it was discovered that students will no longer receive Federal financial aid for these courses. The BOG is okay, so the units are okay but won’t count for Federal Financial Aid. BSC is working with Julia Peterson, regarding moving to a non-credit course to serve students. It’s an issue across the state with a move to start looking at noncredit options. A Senator asked how they would pay faculty. CRFO is considering looking at this but they have a full plate. Apportionment is available for noncredit courses at [possibly] 75%. CCs in system have full-time tenure track faculty teaching classes Lynn Thiesen informed Senate that classes for C/NC are totally separate. We offer classes with the option but not a grade. Community Education is self-funded. For noncredit you MAY charge students; we don’t have to but we may. 6.4 Senate Representation: Copresident Richards remarked that we have to find our Academic Senate Meeting April 5, 2013 3 representation for next year. Note that ALSS now has only 11 Full-time Faculty, so they will only have one representative next year. Senate would like to know next year’s representatives by April 19 meeting. 6.5 ASCR Update: Solomon DeCamp reported that April 9 &10 they will be holding elections; the Spring GA is on April 26; the Presidential debate will be up on the website soon. 6.6 March 28 College Council Report: Copresidents Brown & Richards. CC has stepped it up a little and approved a number of policies. A lot of them were not Senate related. BP 2520 Responsibilities of Senate is approved and on to Board for first reading. One thing worth note is President Smith distributed a significantly revised version of AP 4021 Program Revitalization or Discontinuation Process for review and comment by College Council members only. She indicated it was her intent to enact this revision by authority granted her by AP 2411 as an emergency fiscal necessity. The policy then would need to ratified within 6 months by College Council or revert to the existing policy. Concerns about current “discontinuation” (via RIFs) were brought up, and Copresidents are working with affected parties regarding the issue. 6.7 March 5 and April 2 Board Meeting Reports: Copresident Richards stated the April 2 BOT meeting was a very unique meeting in that it involved 22 speakers at outset; 9 for Athletics continuation, 6 for HPRT, and 9 for Music changeover to community ed. Over one hour of comments. They then went through agenda fast; Board item 3.2 Athletics and Physical Education Information Report was about the deferred maintenance agenda for athletics that involved discussion about ADA requirements. One board member said the music department should go through the same process. Discussion morphed into bonds project status and the money approved last January; the projects came out more expensive than the money promised (because of ADA needs). Reprioritization of the money is needed and other projects for approval need to be going forward. Another important item was that during closed session the BOT did not approve Sabbaticals, and everyone will be working through the issues with CRFO and Administration. 7. Announcements and Open forum 7.1 2013-14 Faculty and Associate Faculty of the Year Support Deadline April 18 7.2 IEC Summit: Saturday, April 6 from 9 am to 1 pm in AT 103 7.3 The Copresidents have met with the Senate Copresident hiring ad-hoc committee; Maggie White, chair; Ryan Emenaker and Kevin Yokoyama are members of the committee. 7.4 Regarding California Online Education Resource council; Kevin Yokoyama is on the council which will largely deal with SB520. It is a big honor. 3 Academic Senate Meeting April 5, 2013 7.5 Per a question regarding an update on copyright and course packets, Copresident Richards shared that the status is unknown. 7.6 Copresident Brown will attend the Senate Plenary session April 17-19 and will attend a SB 520 breakout session on MOOCs. 8. Adjournment: On motion by Kevin Yokoyama, seconded by Kady Dunleavy, the meeting was adjourned at 2:55 p.m. Public Notice—Nondiscrimination: College of the Redwoods does not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, color or disability in any of its programs or activities.

The MDC would like us to discuss, propose, and approve a recommendation to the Academic Senate, with the MDC’s preference for a new General Education area called “Multicultural Understanding” represented in item #1 below. Please consider this request prior to this Friday’s meeting and come prepared to discuss and vote regarding your approval of one of the three actions listed below. If you believe that some other course of action should be taken, please come prepared with specific language describing it. Though there is always the possibility of revising language during the committee’s meeting, for the sake of efficiency, it would be better for each of us to carefully consider the path ahead individually and then come together to discuss it. In addition, you will find Chair Mancus’ earlier correspondence, with more detailed rationale behind the proposed choices, attached. 1. Establish a specific A.A. / A.S. General Education requirement (e.g., a hypothetical “Area E: Multicultural Understanding”) using existing, appropriate courses or by creating new ones that would fulfill the requirement and that could double count towards other areas in the CSU transfer pattern and/or the IGETC transfer patterns where appropriate. This level of action would change the course outline of record for those courses alone and expand the GE requirements for Associates Degrees and for Transfers at CR. 2. Expand CR’s General Education outcomes to include meaningful language regarding multicultural and diversity learning. To be used in course, program, and institutional review and mapping. 3. Establish a diversity, equity, and/or multicultural section in the course outline of record where faculty can propose that a specific course qualifies as such. Combined with numbers 1 and 2 above, this would allow any faculty to propose that the course meets the requirement. On its own, this would potentially allow any course to be defined as meeting diversity-related transfer credit, depending on articulation. PRB Academic Senate Meeting April 19, 2013 5.2 ONLINE FACULTY EVALUATION SUPPLEMENT F-2 FORM DRAFT 4/15/13 Instructions: Please describe in some detail the faculty member’s performance in the following areas. Within each category, prompts are provided to help you in your evaluation. In addition to your descriptive summary, include your analysis of strengths and limitations. 1. Is the syllabus well organized and comprehensive? In addition to standard CR information (e.g., DSPS, LRC), there should be information regarding student expectations, online etiquette, and instructor expectations to include a policy describing the frequency and timeliness of instructor initiated contact and instructor feedback. 2. Is there sufficient content to cover the course learning outcomes? An online course must meet the same student learning outcomes as a FTF course. 3. Does the course appear to be accessible? An accessible class will usually communicate information with text. Audio and video files should have text transcripts or captioning. Photos should have a text alternative describing the picture. 4. Dostudentsactivelyparticipate,anddoestheinstructorappropriately participate,indiscussionforums?Thereshouldberegularstudent‐to‐student discussionsgradedforquality.Gradingcriteriashouldbeexplicit. 5. Are students provided information on how to contact the instructor by email, messages, discussion forum, or other methods? Students should have explicit methods for asking the instructor questions. 6. Are there regular announcements? Are there clear instructions for the week’s assignments? 7. Does the instructor provide timely feedback to the students’ work? The Gradebook should be updated regularly. 8. Are there instructor-prepared materials (text-based, audio files, and/or video files) in addition to publisher-created materials? The instructor should contribute to what the student reads, hears, and/or watches rather than relying solely on published materials. 9. Does the instructor check in regularly into the course? Check course statistics, if you can, for how often the instructor visits the course. Enrollment Management Comments Enrollment Update: Summer We’ve put ourselves in a good position to reach our budgeted enrollment target by increasing the number of sections 38% over last year. 2009 270 2010 79 2011 80 2012 111 2013 153 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 1 2 3 4 5 Based on the current summer schedule, there is a good chance we’ll meet our budgeted FTES—300 FTES We’re offering eight courses that align with their course blocks. The course list, all transfer, was developed in cooperation with HSU criteria, benefits both HSU and CR students, and does not compete with HSU’s summer schedule. That begins May 28th. Seven courses are targeted: Math 50A, Math 5, Math 120, HIST 4, ENGL 1b, ENGL 1a, SPAN1a, and ECE2. We’re still trying to get a course offered in McKinleyville HS—June 24-August 2 Enrollment Update: Fall We’re targeting 52% TLU usage in the fall. To date, we haven’t used all the TLUs we’re allocated for fall and therefore are below the number of sections needed to reach our fall FTES target. Based on the current schedule, resident FTES are at 2210. We'd like about 2,350 resident FTES, so we're still short.

The BPC knows that this is an unresolved issue. • We need to structure our planning so that we can be ready for when budget contingencies arise. • If the BPC gets too prescriptive on how to manage the budget—problems will arise. Examining how the BPC deals with negotiable items is an important issue. • The Strategic Hiring Plan must be included in the calculations of the BPC (currently it is not). • The Program Review template was more detailed and efficient this year—with planning and assessment components included, as well as student equity data. • Internal feedback on our own PRC process went well. • More guidelines for interpretation of assessment results (as well as guidelines for how to link assessment results and resource requests) are needed on the Program Review template. • We need to continue documenting assessment-based institutional improvements. • Most everything in the Program Review process was followed with the exception of the passing the assessment information to the Assessment Committee, but this will be done by the end of this semester. • The timing of the Planning cycle might need to be reviewed. • The PRC should review the PR template prior to the end of the academic year, so that faculty can participate in the review process before the end of Spring semester. • The resource request data needs to be more easily extractable from the Program Review template. • There is hope that the college president will oversee the new Institutional Effectiveness Committee structure. • There is some concern about who will oversee the whole Integrated Planning structure and who will oversee the plans. • Angelina Hill will be the author of the annual Institutional Effectiveness Report this year. • The PRC still needs to analyze the Program-level plans in each Program Review to see how well they are aligned with the institutional plans. • We should consider imbedding a few institutional themes right into the Program Review templates and ask authors to respond to these themes as a part of their own planning processes. • All committee meeting times and dates should be posted in advance of the start of the academic year. • Because of the many emergency decisions of late, to some people the planning process might not seem very deliberative or clear. • Each Integrated Planning Committee Chair should have the responsibility to communicate to the whole college the outcome of that committee’s decisions. • We should make communication more consistent throughout the district, and use technology for this communication as well.
