McGovern, and Steve Wright. S. Droker wanted to remind us that B. Hunt and S. Droker taught IS .

Instructional Area Reports
6.1 Arts and Letters- Nothing
6.2 Career Technical Education—Highly concerned about organizational chart and reduction of faculty
on committees. Seems like an efficient way to reduce the voice of the faculty. There seems to be a
disproportionate amount of administrators. C. Cowden went to central region articulation meeting and
wants to note that big push in state is articulation of non-CTE programs. So Cal urban areas are
getting rid of AP courses and articulation is the new answer. If we articulate a class to the HS, then
transcripts should say that you don’t have to take the class; it’s waived and won’t be on transcript. If
it’s transcripted, they have to have taken the final exam. There is a difference between articulation and
units. So, Bio 10 articulates to HS; if they have a ‘B’ or better in HS school, then they can take a
proctored exam to earn credit in college for the course. The instructor is paid for three hours to proctor
the exam. These are the university bound students. Our curriculum forms need to say something like:
this class has content that cannot be completed with credit by exam.
