Minutes [DRAFT]
Minutes approved.
Resource Allocation and Program Planning
Recommendation to approve emergency hiring – Environmental Science, faculty position.
Mieso shared the criteria that was developed by RAPP for emergency requests. The request meets the requirements for emergency request.
Members discussed the hire rank for next year, number of positions and review process.
Members voted to approve the recommendation, Espinosa-Pieb accepted the approval, and it moves forward.
Annual Governance Assessment Survey
Newell gathered feedback from members on the annual survey that is used for accreditation reports. The survey was interactive, and members shared input in real-time on reflection processes.
Newell encouraged co-chairs/ tri-chairs of shared governance groups to conduct the survey with their groups before the end of the year.
Program Consultation Committee
First read of the proposed committee that would fit into the shared governance to review new and existing courses and programs to make recommendations to college committees. The proposed charge of the committee would be to develop program reviews, processes and give feedback on data.
Members question the actual charge of this committee and RAPP’s, expressing concerns on role and how to ensure which committee would be doing significant review. If the proposed committee is taking some of that work, what is the role of RAPP after that?
Members expressed concerns on potential membership, adding another committee, ensuring that not the same people are in the committee and the need for greater participation from campus at large.
Newell asked that Senior Staff discuss the proposal and provide feedback from an institutional perspective, of what this committee might entail.
It was noted that the proposal does separate instruction, student services, and administrative services as the PBTs did. It separates some of the functions but works to maintain the transparency and communication between areas.
Feedback can be summitted to Woodbury or Espinosa-Pieb for further discussion at the next meeting.
ACCJC Substantive Change Application
Seeking approval to submit the final draft to the Board of Trustees before submitting it to ACCJC.
A very specialized application must be completed If there is 50% or more of all the students enrolled in at least one course offered online. De Anza meets the standards for the application.
Members approved the recommendation.
Please read and share with your constituents.
