3. Why EMC and Committee Goals
Discussion on the need for data gathering and guidelines for
scheduling during increase or decrease funding. Data needed
for articulation, transfer goals, future planning, work force
industry demand. Focus on transfer courses, Basic Skills and
Career Technical Education classes. Need to build a
foundation/framework on how decisions will be made for
class offerings based on data. The following
questions/concerns were made:
 When we cut or add, we don’t do it well
 We cut low enrolled courses when they are needed
 What does our data show re: certificate/degree
completion
 Last two years of courses, what made and what was
OUTCOME/FOLLOW UP
Deans, ask recommended data for
Department Chairs to review
Committee members to obtain
feedback from Department
Chairs

Enrollment data that can be given to Dept Chairs
Are criteria prioritized? Should they be?
Need to have feeling of transparency and
understanding – need collective effort
Understanding the challenges that
departments/programs face (ie: marketing, facilities)
Need to find out why students come here and why do
they stay?
Need for qualitative data/anecdotal data that explains
enrollment abnormalies
