representative.
4. Review of Templates: (continued from 9/16/11 meeting):
 Instructional Annual: Utpal’s recollection is the “description” on the Faculty request
form is intended to detail more specifics of the position, to guide the faculty
prioritization committee. A description is not required. The committee agreed to
include a brief clarification, in parenthesis, in the job description box of the form.
Inform faculty if data is requested on the template, and not provided, the PRC/IR
should be notified immediately.
 After brief update on last week’s meeting, for new members, the committee
continued to review the templates. After discussion, the committee decided the
special attention boxes, on the Intro page are not necessary. The checklist boxes
were revised to include each of the four assessment reporting forms.
 Data Tab: The committee decided that Basic skills information will remain.
 Labor Tab: Data is not embedded, but hyperlinks are provided. PRC will have to
click on link to view data when reviewing the program review.
 Support Services Resources Tab: Requires people to be more specific and identify
what, why and include detailed support of the request.
 Curriculum Tab: Added a box: “How did the outcomes assessment process inform
these curricular updates?”
 District Data Tab: Data not embedded, but hyperlinks to district data are provided.
 Instructional Comprehensive: Each section has a tab showing tying it into the
strategic plan. There will be links to the strategic master plan and mission as well.
 Benchmarking and Advisory tabs: Blended the advisory tab and the benchmark tab
 PLO/SLO Tab: It should be explicit that each discipline must submit course level
plans, assessment etc. A checklist will be included, as in the annual.
 Efficiencies Tab: Information required by the Program Discontinuance and
Revitalization committee.
 FTEF tab: Information is a check for a healthy program, used for faculty
prioritization and will include a Y/N “have you completed the faculty request form?”
