EL CAMINO COLLEGE-Office of the President
Minutes of the College Council Meeting of March 18, 2002
Dr. Caldwell, Ms. Caldwell, Ms. Ely, Dr. Fallo, Mr. Hanson, Dr. Hata, Mr. Marston, Mr.
Ryan Mc Blaine, Dr. Simon, Ms. Smith, and Ms. Julie Stewart.
Growth: President Fallo does not know where we are going to talk about growth, as the
next newsletter will focus on the Bond. Dr. Simon feels a brief statement should be made
somewhere.
Board Agenda: President Fallo pointed out item F of Student and Community Advancement
section, Rescinding of Rights of the El Camino College Alumni Association. The rights of
the Alumni Association to use El Camino and ECC in any of their representations are being
rescinded. The plan is to have them directly associated with the Foundation to help with
community outreach for El Camino. Our hope is to increase its current 500 membership.
Linking Planning to Budgeting: President Fallo is requesting feedback on April 1, 2002.
This needs to be implemented as soon as possible and volunteers will be needed. Dr.
Caldwell stated that we would need to have this discussion in conjunction with Procedure
801.
District Review and Recommendations Regarding the Systems’ 2003-04 Budget Request:
Correspondence dated April 2, 2001 from Chancellor Nussbaum was sent to College
Council members electronically. The deadline for our response is April 13th; we will have
to discuss April 1, 2002 in order to present recommendations for Board approval in April.
President Fallo noted that El Camino is chronically over built because of square footage.
This does not let us compete as effectively with other colleges. We have the same number
of classrooms but our classrooms have more square footage. We may want to put in that
type of consideration.
Hiring Freeze: Dr. Simon stated that when exclusions are considered they should be done
equally and administrator positions should be included. Dr. Hata noted that faculty
positions were excluded from the freeze and management was not.
Registration: Dr. Simon asked what the status of the proposed registration changes
presented by Bill Mulrooney and Alex Kelley on February 4th. Dr. Caldwell noted that they
are revising the add process, Alex and Bill have developed a procedure which will be
reviewed by the Vice Presidents on Wednesday, March 20, 2002.
