Item 6 – Academic Alliances – Erin Dail

MOU’s that the Academic Alliance committee feels that it should be dissolved, restructured or
formed into a working group. After considerable discussion a motion and second was approved
requesting the sub-committee to investigate and prepare more specific alternatives for its
existence.
Item 7 – Distance Education – Cindy Beck
NONE – Cindy Beck not present
Item 8 – Academic Engagement – Mark Barnes submitted the following:
This academic year, the Academic Engagement subcommittee was tasked by the Quality Council with developing a
plan for engaging and retaining part-time faculty. This was based on a quality improvement proposal that was
submitted last summer.
We began the process by developing a survey to assess the needs and interest-level of PT faculty. We had also
hoped to host a focus group discussion with PT instructors, but no one responded to our requests for participants.
In spite of this, the survey was a great success, receiving almost 100 responses and providing us with a great deal
of data to work with (survey summary attached). [On a side note, one common response to this survey was that PT
faculty don’t feel welcome at certain events, meetings, etc., and it should be noted that there was a recent email
situation that illustrates this problem perfectly]
Having received and read over these survey results, our committee began working on a proposal that would be
responsive to the needs of PT faculty at the beginning of this semester; however, we were beset with attendance
problems from the beginning, and had only three active members for the entire semester – 2 staff and one faculty
– and without more representative input, it has been difficult to move forward.
That being said, the current draft of the proposal has three major components:
1.
That departments/divisions should develop a clear PT faculty training program and offer professional
development opportunities specific to their disciplines
2.
That PT faculty need a clear evaluation plan
3.
That PT faculty need more opportunities for recognition and should be made to feel a part of the college
community
There are other components of this plan, including concerns about communication and standardizing PT faculty
hiring practices, but some of these are currently being discussed by other committees as well.
At the moment, we are working on finishing a draft of this proposal and waiting for some new members to join us.

Committee on Faculty Involvement Annual Report 2014-2015
This past academic year the Committee on Faculty Involvement (CFI) accomplished several tasks. In the fall
semester, CFI, with the help of the administration, updated the Faculty Handbook. The handbook was sent to the full
faculty for a vote in the spring semester and passed that vote. Also in the fall semester, CFI completed the
development of a new Faculty Evaluation Plan (FEP), and the plan was approved by the Faculty Senate. In the
spring 2015 semester, department chairs began using the FEP to evaluate full-time faculty members.
CFI is currently working on two projects. First, CFI is rewriting the FEP documents to be web-based, with plans to
test this implementation over the summer so that department chairs can begin using it in the Fall 2015 semester. CFI
is also developing a plan for overseeing the assignment of full-time faculty members to PTC committees. CFI will
complete this plan within the next week or so in order for the plan to be submitted to Quality Council as soon as
possible.

attendance tool, reasons behind poor attendance for students, as well as corollaries between
attendance and overall student performance.
We are currently only collecting data but may recommend a rules or rules related to this data
once it becomes available.
Online Course Evaluations – We are searching for ways to get a more comprehensive set of
course evaluations back to instructors. We have thus far requested that a message be placed on
the main Portal page for all students when online course evaluations become available.
We will be working on new incentives for the following academic year.
Textbook Adoption Rule – We will be looking into a textbook adoption rule per the request of
Kate Terrell in the next academic year.
