ADDITIONAL
AGENDA
ITEMS

6. Budget Planning Committee – Final Priority Rankings
7. Academic Senate Report
MINUTES
See below
ACADEMIC
SENATE
REPORT
Keith requested that Bruce’s report to the Academic Senate be the first
item addressed. There was discussion regarding the recording of the EMC
meetings and how detailed the notes should be. It is a concern that items
left pending for future discussion may get lost or be forgotten. It is also
important to capture more details of discussions that occur. After some
length is was decided that clarification must be given to the process, and
EMC meetings should be run more formally. It was also decided that
recording of this and all future EMC meetings will consist of a more
structured format to formally track and capture meeting content. At the
beginning of every meeting the minutes from the previous meeting will be
reviewed and approved by the entire committee.
The agenda and the minutes for EMC will consist of the following
components:
 Review of Minutes
 Discussion only
 Action only
 Follow up
Follow up will be an ongoing agenda item that will allow report outs on
items that are forwarded to cabinet or other committees.
BUDGET
PLANNING
COMMITTEE
Utpal reviewed the Final Rankings of the Budget Planning Committee
(BPC) and addressed several questions from committee members which
related to how criteria were established in the ranking process. He
reminded everyone that supporting documents may be found on the BPC
web page.
MULTIPLE
MEASURES
Melissa reported that she compared CR’s multiple measures practices to
those at other colleges. CR’s current practices were reviewed and it was
noted that 56% of new students are taking the assessment for math and
English at the time of enrollment, the remainder of which take the
assessment if or when then enroll in math or English.. In the past CR
counselors used a multiple measures grid to aid in assessing students. The
grid, which faculty helped to develop has not been used in quite some
time; however, it was very effective when used. The following points were
made:
 There is a need to come quickly into compliance with Ed Code.
 It is a requirement to use multiple measures when administering
assessments.
 Research has been done on best indicators.
 The process should be a standardized across the district.
Melissa will develop a multiple measures recommendation and bring it
back to the committee as an action item at the next meeting.
ENROLLMENT
SCORECARD
Keith noted that he had reviewed Enrollment Scorecards from two other
community colleges. Benchmarks and targets were discussed and it was
suggested that Persistence and Retention be defined. Utpal suggested that
in the near future a full meeting be dedicated to defining Retention and
Persistence. There was also discussion about how data will be used once
indicators are identified and how well we’re doing as an institution. Some
of the other topics that were discussed relating to the Enrollment Score
card were:
 How to define groups of students
 Outcomes
 Personal enrichment
 Measuring students by category
 How will evaluation be done, how will this information be used?
 Recommendations & goals
 How we’re doing from an enrollment perspective
The Enrollment Scorecard will be brought back to the committee in two
weeks as an item for further discussion.
101
CORRIDOR
STUDENT
SURVEY
There was discussion regarding the draft of the 101 Corridor - Student
Survey. There is concern regarding the way the survey is currently
structured and whether it will produce the information intended. It was
noted that it is difficult not to lead people with survey questions. There was
also discussion about question number three regarding the length it takes to
travel to the various campuses and that there may be too many
interpretations for question number three to be relevant. It was decided that
the draft needs further refinement and committee members were asked to
send feedback and questions to Sheila or Zach. This item will be
considered an action item for the next EMC agenda.
ENROLLMENT
Utpal distributed a handout regarding TLU allocations and sections. There
was not time for discussion of this handout so it will be returned to the next
meeting for discussion.
Zach gave a brief overview of Student Enrollment Trends which were
accompanied by handouts. Committee members had questions about how
data comparisons are being made. IR is making updates daily to the IR
web page and have also begun taking data snapshots so that comparisons
may be made to specific dates within a term. This will also be an item for
the agenda of the next meeting.

101 Corridor Survey
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Please do your best to answer the survey questions completely
and honestly. This survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.
This survey was designed to gather information concerning student’s experience at College of the Redwoods
Instructional Sites along the 101 Corridor. The data collected from this survey will aid CR in its ability to attract future
students and offer quality educational programs and services. We can’t get this important data without your support.
We ask for your student ID number and name to ensure no duplicate surveys are collected and as a way to contact
you for future research.
It is the ethical duty of CR’s Institutional Research (IR) staff to ensure that all students contributing to this
survey will remain confidential. Students who fill out this survey will not be associated with their responses.
Any questions regarding the survey may be directed to IR’s Director: Zachary DeLoach: ZacharyDeLoach@redwoods.edu

COLLEGE OF THE REDWOODS
ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE – OPERATING AGREEMENT
Revised 10/14/10
Mission
To interpret enrollment trends, patterns and projections, student achievement/success
data, basic skills student achievement data, and to inform all institutional divisions and
units in meeting CR’s enrollment goals within a framework of collaboration continued
growth and community alignment. The Enrollment Management Committee (EMC) also
formulates enrollment goals consistent with the College’s mission and program review
data, develops FTES budget projections, implements, monitors, and periodically revises the
process of student enrollment and retention.
Vision
Enrollment management at CR embraces the concept that systematic coordination and
communication of activities influencing students' decisions to attend, transition to, persist,
and graduate will help the College to achieve its principal institutional goals. These goals
include the development of a campus-wide culture of collaboration and cooperation,
planned growth with access for students to higher education, and participation in a diverse
and increasingly complex community and world.
Scope
The EMC is one of the integrated planning functional committees. Informed by program
review, institutional data, key performance indicators, and input from its members, the
EMC monitors enrollment and student achievement/success data, basic skills student
achievement data, discusses their implications, and makes recommendations to
appropriate bodies within the integrated planning structure to achieve optimal
enrollments.
Among the EMC’s responsibilities are 1) designing and conducting a collaborative
enrollment management planning process, 2) discussing student achievement and success
data, 3) linking enrollment targets with budget projections, 4) recommending scheduling,
instructional and student support strategies to enhance student access, success, retention,
persistence, and goal attainment.
The EMC works closely with integrated planning committees as it designs and conducts
these processes:
Analyze enrollment trends, patterns, projections, and growth as well as basic skills
student achievement data.
Provide recommendations and information to divisions and units on the
implementation of enrollment targets and emergent enrollment management issues.
Monitor, oversee, direct, and implement changes as necessary to the work of the
committee.
Develop a holistic, comprehensive, and integrated approach to enrollment
management (data analysis, curriculum and program mix, retention and
persistence, advising and recruitment, marketing/promotion, budget, and
technology).
Recommend scheduling strategies, instructional, and student support plans to
enhance student access, success, retention, persistence, and goal attainment.
Recommend enrollment targets and subsequent College budget projections.
Identify potential markets.
Review and recommend all current retention strategies and recommend
appropriate revisions and additions to those strategies, including required
resources.
Review current marketing strategies and activities and recommend additional
methods or revision.
Membership
The EMC includes a cross sectional representation of employee groups as well as student
representatives (if identified). The Committee is led by two Co-Chairs—Vice President of
Student Development and a faculty member. Members are expected to serve a 2-3 year
term to provide consistency among the membership and will include:

Meetings
2
Meetings will be set by consensus process but will be conducted at least twenty times each
calendar year. The regular meeting schedule for the calendar year will be set at the first
meeting in September but additional meetings will be set as necessary to ensure that
planning work is completed according to the planning cycle timeline.
Decision Making Process and Basic Committee Ground Rules
The EMC will make decisions based on sufficient consensus in which decisions are a
synthesis of everyone’s ideas and incorporating everyone’s best thinking and aims for
general agreement and support among those present. However, the committee is willing to
move forward with a decision where there is general support among the majority members
present (80% of members voting). The EMC defines a quorum as 50% of the membership
plus one.
The membership shall:
Put students’ needs above everything else.
Be open to new ways of viewing things.
Express opinions in ways that preserve integrity, develop mutual understanding,
and promote collaboration.
List to all the facts and available information from different sources before making
judgments and decisions.
Be sure all voices are heard.
Use time efficiently and stay on task.
Take advantage of the opportunity to communicate, to learn from each other, and to
collaborate.
Accept and support consensus of decisions voted upon as final without ongoing
subsequent revisions. Recommended revisions will be put into an ongoing file for
the calendared periodic updating scheduled and agreed upon by the Committee thus
facilitating the Committee’s work of moving forward to completion of assignments.
Planning Principles
The EMC embraces the following planning principles:
1. The planning process and the plans that it yields will be PLO/SLO outcomes
based, learning-centered, and will support the quality of the College.
2. The planning process will be collaborative by operating within the collegial
consultative structure and which ensures broad-based participation and by
providing a means for stakeholder groups to be heard and to influence the
plan.
3. The process will build trust through effective communication and
negotiation, by providing a safe environment to identify and challenge
assumptions and by supporting agreements on shared values.
3
4. The process will be meaningful in that it will help the College to establish a
vision of the future.
5. The process will be data-driven, using qualitative and quantitative data,
routinely reviewed as the plan is implemented, with the aim of continuous
improvement.
6. The process will have a clear cycle of activities, with a beginning and an end,
and timed and structured to coordinate well with WASC/ACCJC accreditation
requirements.
7. The process will be as simple as possible while yielding a viable plan and
integrating planning into permanent governing structures and college-wide
meetings.
8. The process, its language, its products, and the results of the plan will be
communicated to all employees internally.
9. The process will be truly comprehensive, and will have clearly assigned roles
for individuals and groups, including students.
Communication
The EMC is committed to a collaborative process with many opportunities for involvement
for those within the College. Throughout the planning process, the EMC will hold meetings,
consultations with key constituencies, and discussions with integrated planning
committees, and the senior leadership team, all of which combine to enable broad based
participation in the various phases of creating, updating, and evaluating the annual
Enrollment Management Plan.
Information and recommendations generated by the EMC will be shared with the Vice
Presidents, Budget Planning Committee, various master planning committees, and the
college community.
Planning Process Activities and Outcomes
The EMC will:
Provide leadership for the development of the enrollment management plan.
Monitor institutional progress toward accomplishing the enrollment targets.

Themes
Administration should focus on
collaborative planning using open, twoway communication.
Resources should be directed towards
enabling student learning, not directed
towards increasing FTES.
We need to use relevant, accurate data to
make decisions and we need to share the
reasoning behind those decisions
The administration has created a culture
of mistrust and hostility. Challenging or
questioning administrative actions is
discouraged. The lack of consideration of
faculty and staff has had a demoralizing
effect on the entire campus. Morale is
low.
The work environment for Associate
Faculty is poor.
Policies and Procedures are not clear,
current, and/or are not followed.
The district’s goals are on target/my
work environment is satisfactory.
