Announcements: Paul Starer and Dolores Davison attended the Spring Plenary session from April 7th through April 10th. Robert Cormia will also attend the Saturday morning session. Paul Starer was elected the new Northern Statewide representative. The college level mathematics and English requirements were approved and will be forwarded to the Board of Governors. This process may take a year or more before it becomes official. There was strong statewide discussion to create a second AA degree, perhaps an AAV, Associate of Arts Vocational. The Academic Freedom Resolution was also approved at State Plenary, with amendments. Dolores Davison will make available the entire list of resolutions. Dolores announced that she is leaving the commencement committee in June to join the Basic Skills (taskforce) and IPC. A reminder was made that all serving senators must serve on at least one committee;TRC committees count for this service. An announcement to all senators that if you are not returning next year that you should notify your division so that elections can be held. The minutes from March 14th were approved with clerical amendments. Main agenda Senate retreat meeting dates of Monday June 13th and Friday June 17th were proposed. Monday June 13th would be a combined meeting and retreat at April Flowers residence, as was done last year. A unanimous vote approved the Monday venue. Senators should invite members of their division who will be serving as new senators next year. Elections committee The senate will staff an elections committee for spring to vote on a number of constitutional issues. That committee will comprise Mary Thomas, Brian Evans, and Richard Morasci. A booth will be staffed at Middlefield as well as main campus. Faculty speaker A suggestion was made that the faculty speaker process be changed. After an initial list of potential candidates is determined, that faculty should be contacted in sequential order, asking and then approving or not approving that speaker. Students should drive this process. The AFSC will need a biography of speakers in order to complete their vote. Senate Constitution issues Robert Cormia briefly addressed the main issues that will be moving into the constitution committee for the spring election. These included electronic voting, absentee voting, part-time faculty equalization (one vote vs. half vote), GE and curriculum committee, and presidential authority. Electronic voting would utilize Internet and Web technology for secure, authenticated, error-free, and reliable voting. Electronic voting would also support absentee voting, and allow part-time faculty a convenient method of participation. Two vendors may be evaluated; one CollegeVote.com, and Rob Johnstone of IR suggested their group could provide this service right now. Curriculum committee issues had been addressed earlier, and were not repeated here. The presidential authority language from the March 14th meeting was unchanged and reread here. This language will be formalized in the constitution committee and forwarded to the election committee. Robert Cormia stated his desire to continue on as Secretary-Treasurer. Respect issue - Jane Enright and Kim Chief Elk The diversity survey conducted in 2003 indicated that respect in the workplace was an issue for 20% of employees, including comments from administrative, classified, and faculty groups. Disrespect was indicated in both peer-to-peer and hierarchical relationships. The classified senates sponsored a number of focus groups at both DeAnza and 17Թs. Initial results from those forums were positive. For the most part, including a please and thank you with requests, not yelling at staff, and basic issues of courtesy were indicated as areas that might need attention. There was a concern that disrespected staff might not be as helpful or courteous to students, and the importance of classified staff in serving the college as a whole. Focus groups seemed to make classified employees feel better about their jobs. Academic senates at DeAnza and 17Թ have now been asked to help promote similar forums for faculty to discuss respect issues. Volunteers are needed for the forums, which typically are 90 minutes long. The purpose for these forums will be to document, grow, and nurture respectful behavior. Remarks are confidential, but high-level comments will be recorded. Goal is to list behaviors rather than incidents, and develop awareness and strategies to foster respect. Senators are encouraged to go to their divisions to get names of faculty who might wish to participate in these forums. The timeline for these meetings is spring quarter, so that results can be ready for incorporation with other data included in our accreditation activities. Meetings would be conducted in spring, tabulated over summer, and faculty informed of results in fall. Kim Chief Elk will call senators to encourage the process of finding faculty for the forums. General education and constitution issues The question of whether to roll the GE committee back into curriculum has gained some momentum. According to the senate constitution, the senate is responsible for curriculum. A question was posed as to if the senate wanted to decide this issue as a body, or bring it forward in a faculty election. It was proposed that Karen Gillette would write up a fact sheet of what the curriculum committee does, and the time required for those tasks. If GE were rolled into curriculum, the meetings would most likely expand from the current two or two and one half hours to three to four hours. Having Karen provide detailed information was welcomed. Resolution on Support for Academic Freedom The resolution for support of academic freedom, introduced by April Flowers and Mary Thomas, was brought forward for a second reading. April commented that some faculty feedback had included interjecting or adding language. For comparison, Paul Starer read the resolution that was accepted at the State Plenary session. The purpose of that resolution is to respond to the Academic Freedom Bill of Rights that is moving through the California State Legislature. Much of the debate surrounding the 17Թ Academic Senate resolution on academic freedom was to clarify the intent of the resolution. While the resolution was intended to encourage and remind faculty of their right to academic freedom, some of the language may be too specific for all faculty to support. In particular, some faculty suggested a resolution to support the language of the state academic senate academic freedom resolution, without having specific language calling on 17Թ administration to support either academic freedom or individual faculty. Paul Starer discussed the appropriate use of faculty support by our academic senate, speaking to the criticism of our senate for not supporting individual faculty in the past. There was a sentiment to remove language calling on this support, and focus solely on the issue of our senate supporting academic freedom. The resolution was tabled, and April and Mary were encouraged to work with Paul to rewrite the resolution. The meeting was adjourned at 4:31 p.m.  FOOTHILL COLLEGE Office of the President To: Faculty Members of the CTIS Division From: Bernadine Chuck Fong, Penny Patz, and Chuck Lindauer Date: March 21, 2005 Re: Division Meeting: April 8, 12:00-1:30 PM - Future of the division First of all we want to thank each and every one of you for having contributed so much to the success and entrepreneurial curriculum that led to historically high enrollment in the division. You were all responsive in capitalizing on the thriving job market and changing technologies. We hope your creativity and inventiveness will see us through this current crisis. As many of you must know, the enrollment and productivity in the CTIS Division has been declining precipitously. Clearly, much of this decline can be attributed to the job market decline and low demand for technology retraining. However, over a five-year period, the divisions enrollment has dropped 61%. We have been monitoring these numbers closely, in hopes that enrollment would at least plateau after a few years, but it has not. In fact, the current WSCH for the entire division is less than the math department. The current enrollment is not sufficient to sustain the number of full-time and part-time faculty members in the division. Clearly, every department in every division experiences enrollment increases and declines over time, as student demand and interests change. However, this ebb and flow can only be sustained for a limited amount of time, usually two to three years. Given the continual decline in this division, we are forced to take some drastic measures to align the division with the actual student demand. Therefore, we will be meeting with you at the division meeting, scheduled for April 8th. We want to brainstorm with you on some ideas that might re-generate enrollment for the division, and we want to give everyone as much notice as possible about any changes that can take place as of Fall. We will discuss this further to answer any questions you have, hear your ideas for revitalizing the division, and/or to facilitate any planning activities that can take place. Cc: Faculty Association Draft resolution in support of the State Academic Senate resolution: Whereas the State Academic Senate has passed Resolution 6.03, Integrity in the Learning Environment, at its Spring 2005 Plenary Session as noted here: Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges reaffirm its opposition to proposals that abrogate academic freedom as defined by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and that attempt to undermine the integrity of the learning environment, whether they be under the title of The Student Bill of Rights, The Academic Bill of Rights or any other name; Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges reaffirm its strong commitment to First Amendment guarantees of free expression and debate for both students and faculty as a vital part of scholastic inquiry and the furtherance of knowledge and its dissemination; and Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges encourage colleges to inform students of their rights and grievance policies and procedures available to them at their colleges. Resolved, That the 17Թ Academic Senate affirms its support for the position of the State Academic Senate.  Hd;>NOQ  ^vi ( 0 2 G * , = ?
