EL CAMINO COLLEGE
Office of the President
Minutes of the College Council Meeting of November 4, 2002
Present: Ms. Caldwell, Ms. Ely, Dr. Fallo, Mr. Hanson, Dr. Hata, Mr. Neesby, Ms.
Pickens, Dr. Simon, Ms. Smith, Mr. Spor, and Ms. Stewart.
FTES
President Fallo wanted to express the seriousness of the FTES issue, which will play into
our class offerings. FTES is critical for enrollment management, salaries, and cost
savings.
Frozen Positions
The Vice Presidents will present their recommendations to President Fallo by the end of
November. The update will be available prior to January 2003.
Budget
Given the increase in costs and FTES the Legislative Analyst’s expectations should be
lowering for this year’s budget. There will also be an increase in the College’s
contribution to PERS. Mr. Hanson will report on increased cost projections for the next
two years at the next College Council meeting.
Associated Students Organization – Mr. Brian Neesby
Region 7 is declining and Ryan McBlaine may resign due to the impact on his
schoolwork.
The Dean’s Luncheon is scheduled for November 14, 2002.
Academic Senate – Ms. Julie Stewart
Ms. Stewart attended the Plenary Session and is preparing a packet of materials for
distribution. Accreditation was a major issue discussed at this session. It is believed that
there is a conflict of interest in that consultants had input on the Accreditation Standards
and now are offering workshops on how to conform to them.
Administrative Services - Mr. Victor Hanson
Mr. Hanson distributed the El Camino College 2003-04 Budget Calendar.
Academic Affairs - Dr. Nadine I. Hata
The All-Campus Advisory Dinner was a success.
Facilities Needs
The asbestos removal for the Natural Science complex will start this month. It was
suggested that there be project up-dates made available on the Infonet.
Collegial Consultation
Ms. Stewart stated that the Academic Senate did not have adequate input into the
structure of the Planning and Budgeting Committee. Since the committee now exists
they are willing to work within that structure. Ms. Stewart believes that items specified
in Title 5 as purview of Academic Senate should be passed through the Academic Senate
before going through College Council. This will be discussed further at the next College
Council meeting.
