ACTION ITEMS
SUMMER
SCHEDULE TASK FORCE
A task force for the summer schedule was formed consisting of the
following members: Rachel Anderson, Tiffany Schmitcke, Barb
Franklin and Juana Tabares.
The charge for the Summer Task Force will be to review the draft that
Tiffany has completed based on the wish list submitted by the deans.
The task force will also check to see if anything is missing or
duplicated and what the historic rate of filling courses is. A status
update from the Summer Task Force is expected in approximately one
week.
There was discussion about how the guiding principles were
determined and Keith explained that Cabinet met and developed them
as a starting point in addressing the budget concerns.
Committee members voiced concern regarding the “forcing” of
summer night courses to the 101 Corridor. Keith explained that this is
only for consideration at this time and that the summer task force will
evaluate what the effect of moving night courses to the 101 would be.
Keith also noted that the task force will share their findings with EMC
before going forward to Cabinet.
There was discussion regarding the need for ongoing communication
not only when an action is taken, but also as a process develops.
The committee expressed concern regarding how the Guiding
Principles were developed and that the EMC was not asked for input.
Bruce requested that an explanation be given by cabinet on the
rationale used for development of the Guiding Principles.
Keith stated these are just guidelines to use as a starting point to move
forward. He also stated that BPC is using Guiding Principles to make
budget determinations.
