4. Discussion Items
4.1 Review of Strategic Plan Narrative
There was discussion regarding the Strategic Plan Narrative. Suggestions were made
regarding the need for clarification of language and terminology. The importance of
everyone at the institutional and instructional levels using consistent language was noted.
Roxanne noted that until she has the opportunity to meet with Kathy Lehner she will not have
a clear expectation of what she wants to see in the narrative. Roxanne noted the suggestions
made and will continue to refine the document.
4.2 Review Year End Report Outline
Roxanne will take feedback from constituencies to bring the pieces together with the goal to
have a draft by May 17.
4.3 Review of IPFC Meeting Outcomes
Reviewed scope with all of the planning committees and recommended a set of items that
should be included in the future.
Roxanne’s take-away from the IPFC meeting was that there was a lot of consensus with a
few gaps. The 10- page document, Program Review and the blue boxes were reviewed, it was
a very detailed meeting. It was noted that if the deans would sign off on the Program Review
Resource Requests (Needs Addendums) from the beginning it would make the process
stronger.
A set of recommendations came through the Accreditation Oversight Committee to change
Program Review some of which were approved others were sent back for further discussion,
there is also ongoing discussion at the cabinet level.
Dan suggested the model be refined to fold the “unit plan” into the program review
box. Angelina noted that the movement of the IEC box makes it appear as if the IEC has
more of a functional role than an evaluative role.
4.4 Shirley Kelly Visit on April 30 and May 1
Angelina distributed copies of the schedule for Shirley Kelly’s visit on April 30 and May 1.
