Agenda approved Changed agenda item # ??? by replacing AA requirements with liberal arts major requirements. Also this item would be presented by Livingston rather than Kamath. Aprroved: Ochoa moved, 2nd by Ed Lewis (14-0-0) Minutes approved April 26th, May 10th, August 30th. May 10th minutes had item #6 deleted since no one could remember anything about an extra $400.00 dollars being to McGregor for any other work. Approved: Baskin moved, Norris 2nd (14-0-0). Announcements 1. Norris- At this point there are still no at large full or part time reps and no rep from music. There still is no secretary. 2. Norris-The college assembly next Monday will feature Tom Smith and Phyllis Gilliland who are coming to present the District budget and answer any of the campus questions. The meeting between Tom, Phyllis and the Academic Senate on the 27th has been cancelled due to negotiations with the union at that time. The Senate can set up a new time for a meeting with Tom and Phyllis if we are not satisfied with the answers we receive on Monday. 3. Norris- So far individuals had heard no response from Robert Valentine about getting copies of the Catalog. However, he said that he was collecting all the names of those who want a catalog on a list before he sends them out all at once. Anyone can go to his office and get one on their own if they want. 4. Norris- All the five motions from the May 10th meeting passed. 5. Norris- The new state chancellor (Drummond), State Academic Senate president (Kate Clark) and CCLC president (David Viar) will NOT be visiting Ӱɴý the morning of September 16th. The meeting was postponed due to scheduling issues. President Garcia will write a strong letter asking for Drummond, Clark and Viar to come here or else a group from Ӱɴý will go to his meeting with DVC on the 16th. No one is sure whether we will send a delegation to DVC. 6. Corlew passed out a handout used to make up a phone list and it was successfully tested by an instructor with no prior experience. 7. The District program review is still scheduled on Sept 16th. President Garcia the AJ program and the EETech program will be discussed. Currently the EETech program, taught out at U.S. POSCO, has only one full time instructor who may retire soon. The college may need to funnel funds into other programs. 8. Yamakoshi- Reiterated that Lot B is still the parking lot for having extended faculty parking hours. Also faculty can park anywhere, including student spots, after 5 PM. Currently it is not decided how this information will be disseminated. 9. Yamakoshi- Sue Shattuck and Mary Ulrich met with Phyllis to create a flow chart for the hiring process of the interim chancellor. The Senate received no feedback about the process so we will proceed at this point. 10. Reports: SGC-Austin. Ӱɴý is now certified as an Hispanic service institution. We have at least 25% Hispanic students. We are now qualified to apply for grants of $550K individually and a $750K cooperative grant with Delta college. Focus groups with Latinos in the community will begin Sept 23rd, with a focus group for African Americans later. Garcia is meeting with Pittsburg high school over prerequisites, particularly Math, and how they effect students coming to Ӱɴý. DVC doesnt have the same prerequisites. Also there is a need for better communication between the college and high schools. The math Department has created a subcommittee to work directly with the high schools. The District still hasnt adopted a budget for 04-05 yet. Across the board 7% cuts are still in the budget but that includes an 8% reserve. The state only requires a 5% reserve. Peters theme is to push for whats good for the college. There is a growing issue of profanity, excess noise, and possible unlawful harassment on the campus. In particular, students are squeezed into the cafeteria, where they are frequently exposed to these problems. The Associated Student office also has a lot of difficulty. Even LRC1 has problems with fighting. Students are disruptive in the classroom. Committee to see if they can solve this problem. Its purpose is to provide some approaches to solutions. If we tolerate the behavior, we will get it. Possibly the unlawful harassment issue could open us up to lawsuits. Just a few students can make it uncomfortable for everyone. It is a difficult situation. The students will be doing another Rock the Vote campaign. CC- Kamath (See attached handout for more detail) The college is out of compliance with respect to the Liberal Arts Major based on a State Chancellors review. Four new options were created at the May 19th CC meeting. This item will be discussed in more detail in a few minutes. There will be a series of new forms for the following: 900 classes, courses outlines, online instruction and prerequisites. Update any course outlines before the new forms come out. All forms on the web site. New forms not to be used until next spring. It would be a lot easier if the faculty indicated any prerequisite by saying that they use the phrase Eligibility for (whatever upcoming course). Otherwise put completed (whatever previous course) CC will have a discussion this semester about what criteria should be considered when implementing prerequisites. This issue is coming up in different venues. Remember the catalog deadline for changes is 5PM November 1st. Minor changes to outline form is online. McGregor is working on improvements to online outline submittal. For 2005-2006, still using old form. Kamath is rep to SGC and Kaiper is alternate this semester. Action Items/Discussion Items: SGC faculty membership-Norris. In a couple of cases, faculty have asked about being the Senate SGC representative without being a Senator. SGC position paper talks as if the faculty reps are senators, but does not state the membership requirement unequivocally. Lewis-the intention was that reps are senators, and it is written into our new draft constitution. Austin-thinks that voting members have to be senate reps. If we change it, all the other constituents would have to change. Kaiper-Representatives represent organizations, not individuals. Baskin- If she needs to be here as a senator, she will. But, if we set things up that way, then we need to follow through and live with it. Dont set things up and change when the time comes. Austin-Reps must continue to come to the senate because they are accountable to the senate. Bylaws update-Lewis. The survey was not clear. Sample-problem with not being able to say that one does not like term limits at all. There were some that did not turn their ballot in specifically because they were against term limits. Norris suggests to modify the survey by just asking people to turn in a new letter for those who through theirs out. Davi suggested a revote with a box for not wanting any term limits added. Sample-term limits is too significant to not do this right. Change to Ӱɴýs Liberal Arts Major requirements-Livingston. One year ago, the State Chancellors Office said the district was out of compliance. Liberal arts major required to have courses that are reasonably related. Ours were from all over the curriculum. So we broke up the liberal arts curriculum into 4 groups. Ӱɴý already missed the CC deadline for this year. Richard put things into the groups. These were approved by CC. He would be more than willing to add or delete some classes. This is a majors degree requirement, not an AA degree requirement change. Normally majors requirements dont go to the Senate. But the Liberal Arts major is unusual because it crosses over several departments. Bill- The list is too restrictive. He checked to see if the restrictions would be passed by a random selection of previous students, and none of them would. He wants to add more courses to this list. Otherwise it would take students well over 60 units to get their degree. Livingston there is a built in double count. We want more degrees. But if we take almost anything to be degree applicable, we would lose our central core concept founded years ago. I chose courses that are general ed classes at UC and CSU because they are standards for those courses. Lewis-Nothing changes to the 30 some units of the Ӱɴý AA degree requirements. These are the additional courses for the Liberal Arts Major. Path 4 is exactly the same as taking one from everything anyway. Livingston- The Chancellors office insists that something must be done. Baskin- If people do their 60 units can they still graduate without having to go through the Transfer option? E Lewis- What courses have been excluded? Livingston mentioned California History in addition to others. He thinks that there are just a few missing, but Fracisco thinks it needs significant expansion. Nash worried that we are moving towards nothing but Math and English. Sample- electives are provided for the specialize model. Davi- A student could get all three: University studies, behavior arts and social science studies and just social sciences. Shirley- its a big deal. She may need a new sheet to know how to counsel students. Lewis could we send this out campus wide? But there is a Nov 1 deadline. Livingston-Currently this aligns with CSU and UC general education. Expanding would be less integrated and more of a cafeteria approach. How far should we go for a liberal arts major. Maybe instead send it out to the department chairs. Fracisco- students need to experiment in their college careers. Bring additions and deletions to and back from department chairs for a Senate meeting in October. Kamath-can we discuss this at a September department chair meeting? Davi- this is complicated, so we could go past the Nov 1 deadline by making an addendum. Senate Secretary-Norris. Tabled until future meeting. Budget suggestions for the Monday assembly-Norris. This is about the taking back by the district Office of close to 2.4 million dollars of carryover funds. Co-curricular funds are no longer an issue. Three quarters of a million are already committed and other moneys belong to programs and do not come through the district. This includes academic senate rollover (16 thousand), bookstore profits, contract ed money saved over the years, etc. Wait to hear from the District on Monday, but dont be quiet at the meeting. PFE also be taken back (600 thousand). Budget goes to the Board before Tom Smith even decides about carryover take backs. Yamakoshi?- District Office has a larger budget than Ӱɴý. Nash-worried that Smith as a negotiator will say that since the campus took our carryover, then the reserve is low and therefore the District must make larger salary cuts. M Lewis-Does the union know anything ahead of time about the budget? Nash- wont know until the 16th. Austin-would like to understand their budget. Why are Los Positas getting raises? I have just worked for seven years to create a reading/writing center, and all the stuff that we gave up. Truly, for this cut, thats the end of it. By God, I will never do another grant for this college. Because Im in a district that mismanaged the money. Are they cutting the District Office? Nash- part of the faculty will be arguing for a move that will make the budget look worse, while other parts of the faculty would like the unspent money to be considered part of the reserve. They are on the verge of totally dividing the faculty. Davi- any division would be unhealthy. So Norris should go back to Nash. Communication Plan- Norris.
