10:00-12:00
Absent: D, Myers, I. Smith
Guests: Scott Epstein
1. Agenda approved without additions.
2. Status of Performance Teams:
Purchasing: Keith Kamerer reported that the purchasing guidelines were
accepted by the President and that online requisition and purchasing was
active. Training of many people was completed and budget responsible people had been assigned. Some still have not been trained. President Yowell indicated he had accepted the team recommendations and was intent upon building trust responsibility and accountability among staff.
He wants responsibility commonsensical guidelines developed that can provide a check and balance monitoring of the new system. The team will meet again in January to determine any adjustments to deployment.
Room Scheduling: Jane Salisbury indicated this team will meet next week to finalize its recommendations to the President regarding definitions and fee assignments. The “purple” form is online and in the Public Folders.
Registration: Mike Burns is monitoring the implementation of the Datatel system and will call the team back together when a next step is needed.
Academic Alert: The President has accepted the recommendation of the process team and will relay that to the College.
New teams: Teams for student recognition selection process and for external event planning will be formed. The President will invite staff to participate.
Suggested Team: An emergency team was suggested in response to concerns over addressing ill students. It was determined the current Crisis Management Committee could address this issue. Keith Kamerer will take the lead. There is a published process for addressing student illness in the faculty handbook. It will be reviewed and updated as appropriate.
President Yowell indicated he was satisfied with the progress of the College and the teams in our CQI venture.
3. Scott Epstein reflected on our CQI progress and the need to understand it
would be slower than we might like because we must continue to “do business as usual.” He believes we are doing a good job and that President Yowell has changed considerably in the way he approaches his work in the College. He suggested Yowell is, in fact, modeling the approach.
Teams were discussed, along with their commissions, life expectancies, and back-up plans. He implied team success would ultimately be measured in employee and student success.
4. A general discussion of determining key process indicators was initiated by a
Question asked by Becky Telford. President Yowell compared KPIs to output measures, both qualitative and quantitative. He described them as tow-dimensional, incorporating the task to be done and the process by which it
is done.
5. Dr. Yowell indicated the “Helping Students Learn” AQIP goal was broader
focused than just classroom assessment. Therefore, he will be re-structuring the Assessment Committee to address the a multi-faceted approach. Iden Smith will continue to chair that committee and chair the AQIP process for the goal, Helping Students Learn.
6. A AQIP Steering Committee will be assembled to shepherd the over-all AQIP
process. It will be comprised of the President, the Academic Vice-President, the three goal chairs, and others as deemed necessary by the President. The President will chair this committee. He did not accept the membership recommended by the CQI Steering Committee as it did not meet the intent he has for the group.
7. The selection process for the remaining two AQIP goals was discussed.
Becky Telford introduced suggested questions for a staff survey. Discussion followed regarding the type questions, the impact of the vital few and the best presentation format for staff input. Jane Salisbury and Becky Telford will continue to work on a process to be presented to the Steering Committee at a later meeting.
Next Meeting: December 14 (tentative)
