Strategic Planning Document Presidents Council discussed the importance of having the strategic plan document in one place. The Deputy to the Presidents office will be responsible for updating the document and having the most current version on file. Presidents Council said that the strategic plan should probably not be placed on the 鶹ӰԺ internet because it is not static and subject to change. The 鶹ӰԺ strategic plan approved by the Board of Regents will be available on the 鶹ӰԺ intranet. John Rice stated that there are things located on the internet that would be more appropriate to be stored on the intranet. Distance Education Policy Presidents Council invited Larry Hyslop to the meeting to discuss the minor changes to the distance education policy. A change to the Americans with Disabilities Act portion was recommended. The statement will now read, In accordance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, 鶹ӰԺ provides reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities. The distance education policy was approved. Kathy Schwandt will present the policy to Faculty Senate at their next meeting. Presidents Council discussed the possibility of offering pure on-line degrees. It was noted that TMCC is very proactive in creating on-line classes and that we should give serious consideration to creating more on-line classes. Kathy Schwandt stated the workload policy in development could encourage development of more on-line classes. Larry Hyslop would like to put more of his classes on-line. Division Chair Structure Discussion Mike McFarlane opened discussion on a possible 鶹ӰԺ administrative organization change to division chairs. Divisions would consist of groups of similar departmental disciplines containing approximately 12 to 20 faculty. Division chairs would be elected by faculty and approved by the VPAA. Division chairs would serve 3 to 5 year terms and be staggered so that all chairs dont change at the same time. The duties of the division chairs will be scheduling, budgets, syllabi, assessment, goals, adjuncts, program and course development, program reviews, tenure committees, faculty evaluations, and communications. Fifty percent of the division chairs time will be dedicated to the duties associated with an instructional position and the description of that job. Program supervisors would remain as they are. Dr. McFarlane stated that with this type of model, we could still have a dean for academic support. Kathy Schwandt said that faculty seems more amenable to this structure than in the past. Presidents Council suggested that forums be scheduled with faculty during in-service with Mike McFarlane and Kathy Schwandt facilitating. Faculty Senate Update Kathy Schwandt presented the highlights of the Faculty Senate meeting on December 10, 2004. The highlights are: Senate is continuing the discussion of splitting Student Relations and Scholarship into two separate committees. There was an email vote on November 24 to amend the Faculty Senate bylaws to make department chairs a faculty senate committee. Senate reviewed ACUMEN: a Follett newsletter about textbook pricing. Approved installation of Steve Baker on the Academics Standards Committee.

The Associate of Arts in Teaching was approved. Genie Goicoechea presented information about other institutions division chair structures that she has gathered during her sabbatical activities. The Spring 2004 Faculty Senate Schedule was distributed. Miscellaneous There will be a Chat with the President on Friday, December 17 at 10:30 a.m. We will be implementing the chats again. They will be scheduled approximately one week after each Board of Regents meeting. Lynn Mahlberg reported that we have received the PACE/BADA Challenging College Alcohol Abuse grant for $11,000. She also reported that PACE was the recipient of a Festival of Trees Christmas tree that they wanted to donate to the college. Ms. Mahlberg announced that student services will be open on January 22, which is the Saturday before classes start. Ms. Mahlberg announced that Shane Ridley Stevens has resigned his position as Recruiter effective December 17, 2004. John Rice reported that Paskill Robinson and Lord will prepare a proposal for us for the development of a new website. The proposal will consist developing a recruiting plan that utilizes the web, a new website design, and a portal system for current students, prospective students, alumni, and employees using the resources that we have currently. Carl Diekhans has received requests for information from the Legislative Council Bureau and the Governors office. One request is for the number of positions beyond the salary maximum. We currently have five positions that are beyond the maximum salary range. The difference is close to $40,000. The system is looking at ways for the community colleges to cover the overage. The other request is for the number of positions that have been vacant for more than twelve months. We must explain why the positions have been vacant and why we cant fill them. Other questions pertain to utilities, tuition refunds, and financial aid questions. We also need to justify the extra $67,500 for the library books for the bachelor programs. Mr. Diekhans says that we get these requests usually at the last minute and he appreciates peoples cooperation and quick response. Summer Ehrmann invited Presidents Council to the Foundation retreat scheduled for January 22, 2005 at Caf X.
