1. Jane Salisbury called the meeting to order. The agenda was approved
without additions.
2. Minutes were accepted as printed.
3. Status of Performance Teams:
Reported by Jane Salisbury.
a. Hiring/Transfer Process Team: President Yowell emailed the
college community of the recommended process to be effective as of APRIL
1.
b. Night Administrator Team: Blue signs have been suspended from
the ceiling in all areas of the building complex, directing people to the
Information Desk when in need of information or assistance.
c. Academic Deficiency Team: Will meet April 21, to review student
data regarding the Academic Deficiency notice process.
d. Work Study Process Team: Team will meet May 2, and a request has
already been made to expand that team to include an English faculty and a
math learning center staff member.
e. Distance Learning Process Team: Brad Reed and the team have
determined their work bears much overlap with that being done by AQIP 1,
in the current Action Project. They requested a suspension of their
activities and a change of role to that of a long-term planning
facilitator.
f. ITS Customer Service, Purchasing, Graduation Check, and
Grades-Not-Submitted Process Teams: These teams are all on hold until
the Colleague 17 transition has been completed.
g. Student Recognition Process Team: Amanda Swigert reported that
the April 25, Student Recognition Dinner is an outgrowth of this CQI
team’s work. The dinner is managed and supported by the Student
Development area of the College.
4. New Team Requests: none accepted.
5. AQIP: Iden Smith reported on the activities of this team. He had
been a part of the CQI Distance Learning Team meeting when the decision to
disband was made. His group is willing to take over the responsibilities
of the day-to-day monitoring of on-line instruction. They continue to
review data resulting from student surveys and are preparing informational
emails for faculty, reminding them of the types of questions/conversations
they should have with advisees registering for on-line classes. The plan
is to send these to faculty prior to the registration period each term.
The team is also designing a postal card to be sent to all on-line
students indicating the necessary steps to be taken before the term begins
when registered for an on-line class. There is a question of funding for
this action.
AQIP 4, Valuing People, was reported on by Jane Salisbury. That
team continues
to request information from the various employee constituencies regarding
how
they specifically feel valued.
AQIP 5, Leading and Communicating, was highlighted by Jane
Salisbury with
additional comments from Bill Waxman. That team is nearing agreement on
the
structure needed within the college to encourage leadership development
throughout the college, while enhancing communication.
6. CQIN:
The final Engineered Experiences Retreat of this academic year will be
Friday, April 18. It will include the last of Environmental Services, the
last of Computer Services, some from ITS, most of DCC, Childcare, and
non-academic staff reporting to the President.
7. Other:
Mona Walters reported that the needs of Administrative Services,
Personnel, and ITS are being met via the support staff maintaining records
of adjuncts on a term-by-term basis.
Denny Myers reported that the FAX issues brought to the committee’s
attention earlier this year will be remedied soon. The new FAX machine is
in place in the Faculty Support office, and we are simply waiting for SBC
to switch the routing. This should be done soon.
Jane Salisbury reported on behalf of President Yowell that another
classification study is needed to determine if we are in alignment with
similar organizations regarding pay. He hopes to have this addressed in
some way or another next year, but considering the budgeting turmoil, he
doesn’t know exactly how that will be done. In the meantime, wages are
negotiable ONLY WITHIN THE WAGE RANGE advertised. Set
wages/classifications are NOT NEGOTIABLE.
The next meeting will be July 11, 2003, in the Board Room. The time will
be 1:30 – 3:00.
