The motion passed unanimously. senate chair report: Information Chair-elect election Chair Negrete announced that David Freistroffer has been elected as Chair-elect for 2011-2012 and will be Senate Chair for 2012-2013. Curricular Review - Chair Negrete has sent an email to everyone detailing the recommendations that the Curricular Review Committee put forward to President Diekhans and he has responded back to the committee with a request of some wording changes. The committee met again this week and put together a response to send back to President Diekhans. Chair Negrete read the response to the Senate and she will email the response to everyone after Faculty Senate. Once President Diekhans has received the response and has made his decision, it will be the final decision. Four Point Plan Chair Negrete reported that all of the Senate Chairs from across the state met with Chancellor Klaich today to discuss several points. The Chancellor said that the Four Point Plan has been well received. The Chancellor believes that the relatively small amount of money that it would cost, $80 million of which $20 million is coming from the Economic Forum, is being well received; however, the legislature has not made a final decision and the budget is supposed to be closing on Wednesday. The Senate Chairs questioned the Chancellor about the proposed pay cut. The Chancellor believes the legislature will put forth the 2.5% pay cut with the 2.3% furlough, which would be a six day furlough. Teresa Howell asked how the furlough days would affect faculty. Chair Negrete stated that faculty will have the furlough days but the rules wont be known until the budget has been approved. Chair Negrete also stated that the codes 5 & 6 have been put on the back burner for now. These are the code changes that would delineate curricular review more so than it is right now. Senate Chairs have also decided that they will not bring up the low yield until it is brought back up to them. committee reports Academic Standards Written Report Adjunct Faculty No Report Assessment Written/Verbal Report Linda Uhlenkott and Cathy Fulkerson presented a variety of evaluation and assessment processes. Cathy located an assessment form from TMCC, and Linda took the Astronomy 101 assessment and completed the form as an example. Linda explained the process of completing the form. This is a tool that can be used for supporting assessment. Not only do courses have to be assessed, but programs must be assessed as well. The BAIS program, in Social Sciences, has been working with the file to show how students meet general education objectives, not just across one course but across the program. Linda reviewed how the form was used. The Assessment Committee has to write the year 3 and 5 accreditation report next year, and they must show how 鶹ӰԺ does assessment. If this isnt done, 鶹ӰԺ could get a recommendation. Chair Negrete is willing to do a workshop for anyone that might be interested in learning how to write assessment questions that match outcomes on syllabi. Budget & Facilities Verbal Report Rich Barton announced that the deadline has passed for spending equipment money. If you have made prior arrangements with Dorinda, you may still use your allocated funds.

Administration has some items that they would like added to the evaluation process. The committee negotiated with administration and Lynette feels that a compromise was reached. The first action item is regarding the goals. In the old system, there were goals and the goals were removed with the new system. Administration is asking to bring the goals back for accreditation purposes. The committee is recommending that the individual faculty goals be added to the evaluations system. The weights and goals will be established on or about October 15th. The second action item is a supervisors narrative and annual rating. Administration has requested that rather than assign a number that the supervisor be able to write a narrative. The Evaluation Committee emphasized that the narrative must embrace the accomplishments that the faculty have achieved, not just poor performance areas. The committee also requested that the narrative provide recommendation for improvement. Lynette then read the guidelines for the supervisors comments and annual rating. Action item three is requesting that a narrative box be added at the end of the evaluation process. This box would allow faculty members to provide a summary of their performance as well as respond to their supervisors narrative. This item will also be beneficial for accreditation purposes. Department Chairs have been involved in this process from the onset. Bonnie Hofland stated that the Department Chairs are in favor and support the items. The administrators are quite adamant about the action items because it is a piece of accreditation that 鶹ӰԺ will be entering into again next year. Lynette reminded the Senate that if the action items are not passed, the old system will be put back in place. Lynette feels that the new system is better than the old, three part system. Chair Negrete added that at the last Faculty Senate meeting there was an action item that was passed from the Evaluation Committee for the ranges. Chair Negrete took that item to Presidents Council and the Council did not approve the ranges. The action item was tabled because the Council felt that it corresponded with the current action items awaiting approval by the Senate. Chair Negrete asked for a motion to accept the items. All were in favor with seven abstentions. Motion passes. Faculty/Staff Safety No Report I.C.E. Written Report Library No Report Personnel Written/Verbal Report Action Item David Freistroffer announced that the committee approved the emeritus applications for Margaret Puccinelli, Richard Barton and Cyd McMullen. A motion was made and seconded to accept the recommendations. All were in favor. Motion passes. Professional Enrichment Ad Hoc Committee Written/Verbal Report Lynette Macfarlan informed the Senate that the committee is low on funds.
