Minutes of the College Council Meeting of April 5, 2004
Present: Dr. Fallo, Dr. Caldwell, Ms. Caldwell, Mr. Hanson, Dr. Rapp, Ms. Pickens, Dr. Simon, Ms.
Smith, Mr. Samimi, and Ms. Stewart.
1. Dr. Hata will be presented with a resolution at the April 19th Board meeting. Ann
Collette, Cindy Constantino and Julie Stewart will accept the resolution on her behalf.
2. The V.P. of Academic Affairs hiring committee consists of: Julie Stewart, Pat
Caldwell, Victor Hanson, Tom Lew, Virginia Rapp, Ann Collette, Cindy Constantino,
Sara Blake, and Leo Middleton. Dr. Caldwell will meet with the student representative
about his request that a student sit on this committee. We are planning on a hire date of
September 1st.
3. The March 29, 2004 Positions Recommended for Recruitment was distributed. The
ECCE representative expressed concern about the Curriculum Secretary position not
being filled.
4. The ECCFT representative requested that policy 3900 be changed as follows: sentence
two in paragraph two changed to read “However, placement of such advertisements in
the student newspaper, event programs, and in other student, faculty, and staff produced
publications are permissible." It was also reported that Dr. Simon would address the
Board on this policy when it is presented to them.
5. The ECCFT representative will meet with Leo Middleton to discuss faculty concerns
about the Procedure for Unlawful Discrimination and Sexual Harassment Complaints.
The policy for this procedure is ready for Board approval.
6. Three proposed organizational changes are: Child Development Center from Student &
Community Advancement to Behavioral & Social Sciences, Health Center from
Counseling & Student Services to Health Sciences & Athletics, and Human
Development from Humanities to Behavioral & Social Sciences.
7. It was noted that a survey will be conducted by the deans to determine which faculty
members will need upgrade/replacement of computers due to their need for better
technology. It was noted that bond money is not the appropriate source for
replacement/upgrade of faculty computers that were originally purchased under PFE
programs. The monies will have to come from the general fund unrestricted. The
upgrades/replacements will not be done at this time.
8. There is still much concern about the State budget. There may be a $5B problem that is
still lingering. Revenues are not keeping pace. We still have a lot of uncertainty. The
budget may not be resolved in April, as the Governor had wanted. There is a feeling
that fees will be $26 per unit maximum.
9. It was decided to change paragraph one of policy 5052-Open Enrollment to read:
“Every course, course section, or class shall be fully open to enrollment and
participation by any person who has been admitted to the college and who meets such
prerequisites as may be established pursuant to regulations established in Title 5,
Section 55200 or local procedures developed for implementing SB 338, unless
specifically exempted by statute or regulations established in Title 5, Section 58106.”
