Accreditation: It is a bit early in the cycle; brainstorming discussions will begin sometime in the spring about self study preparation and how we will be conducting the process. The Accrediting Commission has become very stringent in its process. Henry Gee reported that 2 to 3 faculty will be attending an Accreditation Institute in January.

Dr. Coon reported that the Legislature still has not taken any action on the budget. Ware fairly certain that there will be cuts to education, but at this time, we have not been given a targeted dollar amount. However, the college did take some preemptive steps to mitigate the situation. This is the first year both colleges are on their own to make sure they stay within their allocated budgets. The district’s reserves are not available to bail out the colleges.

29 unstaffed sections were cut from the spring schedule. This was a 3% reduction in a total of 965 sections. Before the unstaffed sections were cut, Dr. Coon made sure the college had the support of the Chancellor and the Board.

Hiring – all vacant positions are being reviewed and a decision made if we can delay hiring

Reassigned Time – All reassigned time assignments for the spring semester are being reviewed. Each reassigned time assignment is currently being reviewed. Before this information is shared with the campus, all faculty involved will be notified about their assignments for the spring.

b. Center for the Arts Opening Week Advisory Committee The Center for the Arts is due to open in fall 2009 with a weeklong celebration of “the arts.” All aspects of the campus will be used, not just the Arts Building. The celebration will commence the week of September 21, 2009 and end September 25 with a Friday evening dedication ceremony. We are inviting members of the arts community to be part of an Arts Advisory Council to help in planning for this event.

c. Computer and Network Usage Policy and Procedures

The policy and procedures have been shared with District Council and is now being shared with the campus. Council members were asked to review the policy and procedures with their constituents. It will be brought back for discussion at a meeting spring semester 2009.

d. CC Grants Procedure

The procedure for approval of grants is being followed. “Grants information” will appear as a standing item on the agenda.

IX. Discussion Items a. Smoke Free Campus

David Ames, chair of the Facilities/Safety Committee, presented a recommendation on behalf of the committee that smoking at EVC be allowed only in parking lot areas. The committee voted unanimous to have a ban on smoking consistent with other colleges in the area—West Valley, Mission, Foothill and De Anza.

Dr. Coon stated that both colleges have been empowered by the Board to make their own decision with regard to his issue.

Questions and suggestions

Implement at the beginning of a semester

Education campaign before implemented or during implementation

How will the ban be enforced? who will enforce the ban?

Is there a safety issue with smoking in parking lots because of the number of cars parked in a lot?

Image for EVC

Undo restriction on the rights of individuals

Include smoking and safety issues in class syllabus

Evening students have only a 5-10 minute break; not enough time to walk to a parking lot

Covering/hut for smokers during rainy weather

Person’s rights be violated; civil issues

There needs to be discussion with the smokers on campus Council members were asked to take this issue back to their constituencies for discussion. The item will be back on the agenda spring semester.

b. DSP Allocated Parking Spaces At the April 14, 2008 College Council meeting Dr. Coon requested that DSP, the Facilities/Safety Committee and Campus Police develop a written criteria and process for the designated DSP parking spaces. That being done, David Ames, chair of the Facilities/Safety Committee, presented the proposed criteria and process. Several questions were raised:

Where would the spots be located?

What about staff needing accommodations?

Will these 2 spots add to or take away from the handicapped parking spots already allocated? Yulian Ligioso stated that the already designated handicapped parking spots are mandated and are based on the number of students.

Will the parking spots be mobile or stationery?

What about a shuttle service that would pick up students in the parking lot and take them to and from classes? Is there a liability to the campus/district for this type of service?

Council members were asked to discuss this with their constituents. The item will be back on the agenda spring 2009.

Before the meeting was adjourned chair Elaine Ortiz-Kristich thanked the council for their work during the semester. X. Standing Committees – no reports XI. Adjournment

b. Computer and Network Use Policy and Procedures

Henry Gee stated the Academic Senate raised concerns about Item 3720.2, bullet 3 and 4. It was felt that these two items may impede professional projects, in nature, but are not related to the field of work.

Jan Tomisaka (CSEA) shared with the Council email responses she received from classified staff. Areas of concern were sections involving non-student use of computers and using the District’s email as a vehicle to voice personal opinion.

Motion carried.

c. Non Discrimination Board Policy and Procedures It was moved and seconded to approve the Non Discrimination Board Policy and

IX. Discussion Items

a./b. Program Review – Process and Time Frame An updated timeline was handed out by Octavio Cruz giving College Council until April 15, 2009 to submit its feedback. Elaine Ortiz-Kristich reported that there were 5 programs being reviewed: BIS, Family & Consumer Studies, Foreign Language, Math and Sociology. She advised the council that the time allotted to provide feedback was not adequate and perhaps the process needs to be revamped. She also stated that the feedback mechanism needs to be identified and another form may need to be added which allows the reviewer to identify what changes or revisions need to be made. It was stated by Mr. Espinoza that he does not see it as a role of the College Council to be part of this review process. He does see it as the role of the All College Curriculum and Budget committees. He also stated for the first review process how deeply does the College Council need to get involved? In addition, the timeline does not indicate that Academic Senate was part of the review process. The timeline is okay for this time but flow/process may need to be revisited. It was stated by Dr. Coon that this Program Review process is new, it is not perfect, however; it is slowly evolving. It was also indicated that these five programs are going to be models for future Program Reviews. The college is time crunched to get program review feedback to the board by June, 2009. Elaine advised she will submit the feedback she was able to complete to Rita De La Cerda by the end of today, Monday April 13, 2009.

d. Smoking Policy Dr. Coon stated there is no new information to report, however; the policy will go to the May 2, 2009 board for review. If approved the new policy (smoking allowed in designated areas only) will take effect August 27, 2009.
