1.
The meeting was called to order by President Yowell. Peggy
Wiggins and Steve Whiteman were welcomed as new committee members.
2.
The agenda was accepted without addition. Minutes were reviewed
to update committee members on activities/actions referred to in the
April meeting minutes:
·
Status of Student Email Process Team recommendation
that was to have been sent forward for budgeting: Dr. Yowell reported
that final enrollment figures were now available and he hoped to
evaluate the budget requests and respond on this item within a week or
so.
·
Success rates in online classes: The academic
deans are reviewing the data from last year’s online classes to evaluate
why the dip in student success might have occurred. Sharon Brown
reported there appears to be no identifiable trends, that individual
faculty needing improvement in online teaching techniques are being
worked with, and the English success rate dips have no recognizable
reason for occurring.
·
The Bookstore Charging Team commissioned did
evaluate financial aid and PSEOP-related processes. Team members
included Darlene Bayman, Velina Bogart, Sandy Brubaker, Darrel Isaacs,
Carole Mestemaker, Kathi Richards (team leader), Julie Slattery, Chuck
Steel, and Jane Salisbury. The team determined there was no need to
modify the existing process but was a need to clarify who was authorized
to allow charging when financial aid or computer input was not
complete. A step-by-step description of the process of addressing needs
of those with financial aid or those PSEOP who have not be entered into
Datatel was prepared and distributed to those offices involved.
·
Dr. Yowell indicated that Cindy Carbone was charged with
overseeing the General Education Review and that the expected
completion of that project had been extended to December, 2007.
·
CSSEE and Noel-Levitz data is being analyzed by
Paul Heintz. Noel-Levitz is completed and currently Dr. Heintz is
defining correlations between the Noel-Levitz and the CSSEE data
summaries, as well as examining how the CSSEE survey supports our
student learning core values. It is expected that all analyzing of data
will be completed by November 17 and a final report will be available by
November 24.
Minutes were accepted as
printed.
3.
Status of Performance Teams:
Jane Salisbury reported that most teams would be meeting within
the next month as they are in a monitoring mode. Any recommendation for
changes in processes based on evaluated results will be brought to the
Steering Committee at its spring meeting.
4.
New Team Requests:
-
Based upon the Systems Portfolio Feedback
Report, Dr. Salisbury requested four new teams are established.
These were a Student Complaint Team with both academic and
student development personnel being represented, a team for
defining a process for setting college-wide targets with
cross-functional representation, a Sharing Best Practices
process development team, and a team to determine how needed
support processes for both students and administrators are
defined.
· The
Student Complaint Team will be established and Dr. Salisbury and Sharon
Brown will invite supervisors to select area-representative members to
participate. Areas will include faculty, deans, financial aid, the
business office, the welcome center, registration, and B and I.
-
The Target Setting
Team will be established with representation from student
development, faculty, deans, the Assessment Committee, the
Marketing Committee, and Enrollment Services. Larry Dragosavic
indicated a desire to serve on this team and will supply
suggested names of faculty who might post valuable perspectives.
· The
Sharing Best Practices Team was not commissioned. Sharon Brown
will work with the Professional Development Committee to address this
issue.
· The
Support Services Process Development Team has been put on hold
until after President’s Cabinet November 2, when a presentation related
to the topic is presented and reviewed.
