Online Adoption Options
(Andrea & Bill-Bookstore)
Key Issues
Action(s)/Decision(s)/Follow-up
This process can be completed through the
eFollett website. The advantage is the ability to
get the information into the4 system faster. It
will also provide a history from semester to
semester. When the information is put into the
website it will automatically download to the
follett system.
Andrea offered to set up an open house for the
faculty to see first hand and to be able to test it
out.
This can be used in the division office with the
faculty or coordinator inputting the information
and then a person appointed as an “approver”
to finalize the transaction.
The turn around time for the download to the
bookstore will be within hours – not days as
before.

Limits on Adjunct Load
(Martha Hughes & John Hitt)
Key Issues
Action(s)/Decision(s)/Follow-up
Martha – who controls the setup?
Andrea – when the information is put into the
system the book order is not automatically
placed. It must be confirmed by the division
office.
Changes will take place in Fall 2012. We will
put into place the 9 hour rule. Ed DesPlaes said
that each division could possibly have a “super
adjunct” to help with the overload.
Martha – straight lecture will be 3 – 3 hour
classes. Lecture/Lab – will be 2 classes\
Have not completed thoughts on how we will
handle MayMester, WinerMester, Summer I and
Summer II.
Paul – we need to have a grid for deans to refer
to when looking at total numbers for faculty.
Martha-district decided to apply the same rules
to everyone instead of retirees only. This does
not apply to full time faculty. It does not
matter if an individual is mot a part of TRS –
they are still managed by the TRS system so
this would apply. All will continue to be based
on the 988 hours per year that they can work.
It does not matter if they are teaching credit or
continuing education.
A large issue will be trying to find extra
qualified faculty.

“Use of Results”
(Martha Hughes)
Key Issues
Robert Young provided clarification for this. If
a full time faculty member needs to make
formula and is unable to do that on their own
campus they will be allowed to bump someone
from another campus. The issues brought up
with this process are that faculty could choose
the best time of the year, seniority is not an
issue and the newest faculty can be bumped.
Martha-after clarity has been reached and all is
settled ILC will create an Operational
Memorandum to take to President’s Team.
Have had inquiries from faculty about summer
hybrid classes. Asks that council make a
college wide decision regarding these types of
classes.
Martha – the rule stands that the class must be
51% on campus and 49% online.
Distributed information packet for review.
The results from all the SLO work that has been
completed can be found on the P Drive. The
information can them be found in the Archived
SLO folder. Here you will find 5 files that cover
the assessments that were done in Fall 2011.
Read the files and be aware of the information.
You will find committee reports, results, tips,
etc. This document will be included in the

4 Day Schedule

Area Updates
Key Issues
Action(s)/Decision(s)/Follow-up
SACS report. We will be held accountable for
the results and what we did differently.
Encourage your faculty to use these tools
included in the packet.
You will also find 2.8 on the website.
With the implementation of the 4 day schedule
we will need to meet again and ask that Ella
join us for clarity.
Shannon distributed a Seat Utilization Report.
(Report was based on Central Campus only).
The report reviews assumptions, pros and cons
for schedule building. The pros of this type of
schedule are better zone control for facilities
and cost savings on gas for our students.
The deans will be more involved with the
schedule building so that space can be
maximized.
All members of ILC recommended the support
of this type of schedule to President’s Team.
There were no opposed.
Arthur – There is nothing being offered at North
and South in MayMester.
Zena-African American Read-In tomorrow.
Faculty and staff have donated money for pizza
for the students.
David – Basketball is over and Baseball is

coming.
Key Issues
Paul – he, Arthur, David, and Lynne met with
Coppell dual credit to offer classes in the Fall.
Looking at Logistics, Medical Terminology and
several others.
Martha – Do not forget that full time faculty
must also be rotated to North and South to
teach classes.
John – If we have a contested board election
we will be required to have a candidate forum
at North Lake in April.
Ed DesPlaes has proposed to board that there
be an increase in tax and tuition in the Fall.
When the 2013 Texas Legislature meets there
will begin with an automatic budget deficit
between $12-$18 billion.
