Call to order Public comment: Senate Vice President Candidate Clint Ryan, adjunct Math faculty, addressed the Senate. The issue of load attached to VP position will be resolved by paying at a non-instructional rate for VP duties for approximately 10-12 hours week. District provides load for Senate President, VP & Curriculum Committee Chair, so the district will provide hourly payment out of the same budget. All factors impacting load and payment for adjunct faculty VP will be addressed. There also may be another adjunct faculty interested in the position. Senate Announcements New Facilities Planner hiring committee: no volunteer at meeting. Facilities Planning Committee: Discussion focused on College Complex plans. Level 1 as storage, police services, services students dont access regularly. Classroom space will continue for now, but possibly long-term (5-10 years) space may change. Level 3 Bookstore/Cafeteria area: changes also possible. Please request feedback from constituents. Graduation Speaker: suggestion to ask retirees by seniority for volunteer. Curriculum Committee report: meeting as usual. DGC: Upcoming workshop on budget development with Doug Roberts from District Office. FSCC & Consultation: Upcoming issues include common course numbering within district (requested by students within district). PE requirements for Associate Degree. Another college would like to remove the PE requirement (partly motivated by online degree) for the AA degree, but it is a district-wide requirement. Student Services: no report Distance Ed.: no report. Matriculation: no report SGC: Interest in Middle College High School at Ӱɴý. This would be a high school campus at Ӱɴý and students would take both high school and Ӱɴý classes on site. Basic Skills allocation has in the past been approximately $16,000 and is this year approximately $316,000 due to multiple factors including redistributed unused growth money from the state (some funds are one time money). Unspent amounts can be carried over. Campus Change Network presentation by Newin Orante will be coming to the Senate in the future. Additional funds also coming from the state due to increased Math and English requirements for Associate Degree. TAG: no report. Tutoring Committee: Stage 1 allocation ongoing. IV. Minutes Approved Previous minutes approved with correction. 12-0-0. V. Agenda Approved 12-0-0. VI. Agenda Items Enrollment Management: Laura Bernell appointed 12-0-0. Textbooks on reserve in the LRC II. Presentation by ASӰɴý. Currently the ASӰɴý allocates funds ($5000 for 2007) to purchase texts to place on reserve for student use in LRC II. Requesting faculty to request an additional desk copy of student text books to have additional texts available on reserve for students. Concern: desk copy of text may have restrictions from publisher (e.g. only for instructor use). Some text book producers are including advertising to help keep costs down and provide low cost materials for students. Suggestion: request publishers donate a copy to Library for student use and accessibility. Students are concerned about the high costs of texts. Relationship of Brentwood Non-Departmentalized Group and Curriculum Committee. Discussion of proposals. Voting on proposal for next meeting. Considering Brentwood NDFG proposal, Senate Council proposal, and Curriculum Committee recommendations. Separating faculty by discipline is not practical. Working together and collegiality are recommended. Concern that personnel difficulties within some departments are impacting college-wide change. English and Math have worked out agreements among the departments regarding curriculum submission. Concern: faculty teaching in Brentwood attending department meetings on Pittsburg campus have difficulty with traveling times and class schedules. Concern: Brentwood NDFG Chair could sign new curriculum submitted, however, Brentwood NDFG Chair is committed to working in a collegial manner with Department Chairs regarding curriculum, hiring, and scheduling. Department Chairs including Brentwood NDFG Chair may sign curriculum and are responsible for scheduling. The goal is to improve communication among faculty regarding curriculum. Concern: parallel curricula submitted to curriculum committee. Concern: management will only recognize curriculum submitted by Pittsburg Campus departments. Suggestion: Department Chairs work with Brentwood NDFG to improve communication among faculty regarding new curriculum. Suggestion: all curriculum which is also taught at Brentwood, be signed by both Department Chairs: Pittsburg Department and Brentwood NDFG. Compromise proposal to incorporate todays discussion for voting at next senate meeting. Faculty Ethics. Handout from AAUP passed out. Suggestions from last meeting include: 1-list or code of ethics that we ascribe to; 2-group of elders/ombudsman to be adjudicating, consulting, place to air issues; 3-counseling/mediation. Could choose to have multiple options or combinations of options in place. What would the senate like to go forward with? Previously group of elders existed at Ӱɴý to resolve conflicts and even more than 10 years later, concern that resentments are still fostered against that group of elders. Concern: this is a management responsibility in faculty to faculty conflict. Contract does not include provisions for faculty to faculty conflict so there is no official place to go to resolve these conflicts. Recommendation from the State Academic Senate to have a standard of ethics or professionalism. Other colleges have established a Professional Standards Committee, but report that Committee doesnt often meet regarding faculty-faculty conflict. Code of ethics concern: faculty off-campus behavior remain excluded from code of ethics to protect privacy of individuals. Concern: code of ethics would be too broad and open to interpretation. Majority interested in a code of ethics and mediation/facilitation. Majority not interested in pursuing a group of elders. Code of ethics is not at this point part of the contract. A request for the recently approved English Department Code of Ethics shared with the Senate as an example. Remaining agenda items tabled until following meeting. VII. Possible agenda items for April 30 Curriculum Discussion Faculty Code of Ethics Auditing Policy Senate newsletter Intellectual property rights Evaluation of online faculty Compressed calendar/block scheduling District budget goals and strategies Hiring of secretary State Senate support for Minimum Grade Requirement for Associate Degree Courses Faculty evaluation documents Senate of the whole vs. representative senate Report on outreach to K-12 and 4-years Equivalency Policy: requirements, committee membership, voting Meeting adjourned at 5:00 p.m. '57:=DFQXYZegtv  / 0 1 > ?
