EL CAMINO COLLEGE
Office of the President
Minutes of the College Council Meeting of June 5, 2006
Present: Dr. Arce, Dr. Baker, Mr. Brown, Ms. Caldwell, Dr. Dever, Dr. Fallo, Dr.
Marsee, Mr. Middleton, Mr. Nordell, Dr. Simon, Ms. Smith, and Ms. Pickens.
1. Policy & Procedure 2510 – Participation in Local Decision Making/Collegial
Consultation: Academic Senate will review to see if they have any input on what
should be changed/updated. Dr. Baker will work with David Nordell on the policy
and procedure as it relates to students and bring back to College Council on July 10th.
2. Policy & Procedure 4225 – Course Repetition: This was taken back to the Education
Policy Committee as a result of a question that came out of Academic Senate. The
Education Policy Committee said this policy/procedure can go forward as is. The
Academic Senate understands that the repeatability issue is an audit issue. The policy
will go forward to the Board of Trustees for adoption and the procedure will be given
for informational purposes.
3. Policy 4100.1 – Catalog Rights: This has already been approved by the Academic
Senate. This policy statement is ready for Board of Trustees approval with one minor
change: “spring and fall semesters” will be changed to “fall and spring semesters.”
4. Compton College: We have submitted our response to the request for proposals and it
has been reviewed by the Special Trustee and Interim President. There was a Board
of Governors teleconference scheduled which has been cancelled. Santa Monica
College did approve entering into a partnership with Compton College for the summer
session. The Special Trustee has set up a meeting with Dr. Arce and Dr. Marsee on
Wednesday, June 7th for initial discussions on our response. An informational forum
will be held on Thursday, June 8th at 1:00 p.m. in the Haag Recital Hall. We hope to
get a clearer picture on Wednesday on faculty curriculum rights associated with
contracts. Other important issues are curriculum develop and Student Learning
Outcomes (SLO’s). We are unsure as to how long Compton retains its accreditation
or what happens to Compton’s accreditation during this process.
5. Equalization/State Budget: The State Budget Conference committee has been
established. Equalization was discussed Friday night. In the last run El Camino
College was to receive $1.6 million, now that is for only two years and it will then
drop down to $600,000. We are working with the coalition and Department of
Finance to resolve this.
Summer Schedule: College Council will meet on June 19, 2006, July 10, 2006, and July
17, 2006. Other meeting dates for August will be decided upon at the July 17th meeting.
