President’s Report, Carol Kimbrough. Carol attended the regional (Area B) Academic Senate meeting. The meeting focused on the upcoming Plenary Resolutions and Minimum Qualifications recommendation. Other topics of focus included SB 850 pertaining to the development of bachelor’s degree programs at California community colleges. Fall Plenary session will be held in Irvine, November 13-15. Upcoming ASCCC events include the following: CTE Curriculum Institute, Jan 15-16; Accreditation Institute, February 20-21 (San Mateo);
Academic Academy, March 13-14 (Costa Mesa) and Spring Plenary Session, April 9-11.
Including part-time faculty in our governance councils and committees was addressed as a topic for further action. In addition, the process of communication within divisions is problematic to including more faculty in college leadership.

Announcements (Senators): updates on standing committee/shared governance activities
AP 4050 Articulation AP – the reason it has been held out – because there is activity at the High schools, there are processes being utilized that are not clearly examined – and that are not approved through curriculum committee. The student services committee would like to add in HIGH SCHOOL articulation as a separate headings, to make sure that ed code is followed. We need to draft language for a Separate AP for articulation for high school and approved processes.
