Updates from College Council – Lorrie notified the committee that two faculty positions (FT microbiology instructor and FT Puente counselor) were approved for hiring by College Council on April 25th, 2019. Since of the process was ‘out of cycle’, the Academic Senate reviewed on April 29th, 2019. Academic Senate was concerned about hiring FT faculty outside of the normal process with no further discussion.
Program Review Preparation – Lorrie Ranck announced two pending items:
Item # 1 Viability meetings – proposed to extend IPBT meetings sometime in mid-May.
3:00 to 4:00 PM – Viability committee meets followed by IPBT from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. There were two areas the Music department (voted to reduced AA and ADT. Phase out degree/certificate program last spring, IPBT notes, Oct. 2, 2018) and Paralegal program wanted to come in and present a plan.
Item #2 Lorrie proposed to have small focus groups or half day retreat to review the Viability process and procedure. The potential of this discussion is to develop a draft defining the framework and review the process as a whole focusing on the three prongs: sustainability, growth, and reduction/elimination.
The members stated that it is difficult to schedule anything additional at this time of the year.
Mary Pape suggested having more discussions at IPBT meeting before forming the groups.
Possible discussion in the future, make it as an outstanding item.
Program Review Work Session –
The things needed to be considered while reviewing the Program Review: closing equity gap, enrollment, fill rate data, success, degrees/certificate, assessment outcomes. Identify strengths, develop questions and address the areas of improvement. The teams were established and confirmed. The small groups began reviewing the Program Review.
