Simon, Ms. Stuart, and Ms. Smith.
Accreditation Progress Report
Dr. Hata distributed the latest draft of the Accreditation Progress Report for review. Additional
changes were recommended.
Collegial Consultation—Representative-Mutually Agree
Ms. Stewart made the following three proposals for discussion at the next College Council
meeting:
1. Have two procedures, one for 10 items, and another one for everything else.
2. Ask for technical assistance from Community College League of California.
3. Planning & Budget Committee (PBC) takes issues such as processes for planning and
budget to Academic Senate to vote on.
Another suggestion from committee was to give Academic Senate more representation on PBC,
but only give them one vote collectively. It was also reported that at this time four Academic
Senate members participate in discussions at PBC and two members vote.
Budget
The State Chancellor sent out the 2002-03 First Principal Apportionment, which will be e-mailed
to College Council members. All of El Camino College’s allocations decreased by at least
3.66%.
Associated Students Organization – Mr. Brian Neesby
Students are planning a rally day to get opposition to budget cuts. The rally will be hosted by
KROQ and will be March 13th during the college hour.
Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee
Board members decided that they wanted the opportunity to each appoint one member. An
amendment will be taken to the Board on March 10, 2003. Dr. Simon stated that the process
does not appear to be fair.
Instructional Services Reorganization
