Senate Meeting

Sche= dule: &= nbsp; &nbs= p; According to the Faculty Constitution, Senate meetings are held on each teaching Mond= ay of the semester. Senators agr= eed that rather than scheduling a special Senate meeting during finals week, the December 6^th meeting would be extended to 4:00 p.m. if necessary to address any pe= nding items before adjourning for the semester.

Moti= on 1 &= nbsp; &nbs= p; MSC Miller, Gowen: To suspend the agenda to address action item D, Campus Police Task Force Composition.

Camp= us Police Task

Force Composition: &= nbsp; Copies of a Governance Structure Group Request for a proposed Police Review Task F= orce was distributed. Katie Townsend-Merino indicated that Joe Newmyer is reques= ting that a task force be created to review the campus police department’s staffing levels, expenses and budgeting issues. The recommendation for such= a review is primarily due to the fact that one of the police department grant= s is expiring this year requiring that district general funds be identified or changes be made in the structure and/or level of service. Although there is currently a Campus Police Advisory Board, Joe is recommending that a new ta= sk force be assigned the task of review and that it be chaired by the Chair of= the Safety and Security Committee. Joe Newmyer has indicated that his recommendation is based upon a desire to hav= e broad representation from all campus constituencies beyond that which exists on t= he Campus Police Advisory Board; however, concern has been expressed that adeq= uate input from the Campus Police Advisory Board is not being sought to particip= ate in the review and that creating another task force is bypassing the current governance committee structure.

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; Lengthy discussion followed on the proposed structure, role, reporting relationship= s as defined on the Governance Structure Group request. There was additional discussion ab= out task forces being formed for specific tasks and governance committees being operationally on-going. There= was a suggestion that perhaps rather than creating a new task force the Police Ad= visory Board could be expanded to increase the membership by adding two members fr= om each of the planning councils, and that a co-chair be elected from within t= he membership. Discussion also e= nsued about concerns regarding the number and amount of parking citations issued = by the police in an attempt to offset expenses. There was agreement that campus police should not be operating as an enterprise organization but that this = was a separate issue from the matter of what should be done at the conclusion o= f the existing grant as to level of service and be absorbed in the general fund. =

Moti= on 2 &= nbsp; &nbs= p; MS Dowd, Gordon: The Faculty Senate recommends that the current structure of t= he Campus Police Advisory Board be changed to include a co-chair with the other chair being the Vice President of Finance & Administrative Services.

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; Additional discussion occurred on the roles of advisory committees and their relations= hip to the five planning councils. In an attempt to have the broad participation and fully utilize the shared governance process, Motion 2 was withdrawn and the following substitute mot= ion made:

Moti= on 3 &= nbsp; &nbs= p; MSCU Dowd, Hohman: Because of the Faculty Senate’s interest in policies and procedures relating to consistency and shared governance, and because stand= ing committees should be consulted in matters which fall within their assigned purview, in this particular case the Campus Police Advisory Committee should constitute an essential part of a larger task force. The Senate’s rec= ommendation is that the Governance Structure Group request be changed to the following:=

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; Proposed Name of Requested Group: P= olice Review Task Force

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; Role, Products, Reporting Relationships:

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; Role: Review how the district will handle staffing levels, expenses, and budget related to the expiration of the police grants.

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; Reporting Relationships: Strategic Planning Council

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; Chair: Co-Chaired by the Vice President of Finance & Administrative Services or designee, and one faculty co-chair appointed by the membership

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; Membership: The Campus Police Advisory Committee, and two members of the four planning councils

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; The Faculty Senate requests that Katie Townsend-Merino meet with Joe Newmyer pr= ior to the Strategic Planning Council’s December 7 meeting to see if Joe = will consider revising his request to include the Senate’s recommendation.=

Moti= on 4 &= nbsp; &nbs= p; MSC Dowd, Nebelsick-Tagg: To extend the meeting until 3:20 p.m.

Tech= nology

Comm= ittee: &= nbsp; &nbs= p; Bonnie Dowd reported that the Technology Committee met recently to review instructional lab requests submitted by the deans to allocate $100,000 in b= lock grant funds for the purchase of computers in the instructional labs. Bonnie reported that it was agreed unanimously by the committee that 95 computers would be purchased to replace the labs in the following order of priority:

31 computers for the CSIS lab in = Escondido room EC706,

31 computers for the B-21 Division lab (with the current

B-21 labs being moved to the Business Education Department’s other B build= ing labs)

33 computers for the A19 lab

However, subsequent to this recommendation, the Director of non-credit Matriculation= was able to provide the English as a Second Language department the money to purchase the 33 computers in the A19 Student lab. So, the committee unanimo= usly supported the remaining funds from the $100,000 be used to purchase compute= rs for the following labs in order of priority listed:

<= /span>

27 computers for the Math student lab on room E-2

&n= bsp; = ; &n= bsp; = ; 6 computers for the darkroom student lab on room F-26

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; Bonnie reported the purchases are for computers only and do not include new monito= rs.

Comm= ittee

Appo= intments: &= nbsp; None

Comm= ittee Chair

Repl= acements: &= nbsp; &nbs= p; Katie Townsend-Merino announced that chair replacements are needed for the Techno= logy Master Plan Task Force and the Senate’s sub-committee, Personnel Standards & Practices because both of the individuals in those positions will be on sabbatical leave next semester.

Senate sub-committ= ees are chaired by Senators so a Senator will need to volunteer or be appointed= to chair this committee in the spring. With regard to the task force, Katie reported that the former Academ= ic Technology Coordinator is currently serving as chair and appears to have be= en appointed by the Senate as a faculty member rather than as a named position= as coordinator. Therefore, it is= n’t clear whether or not the Senate should appoint a new chair or if the task f= orce members should appoint the chair. There was discussion about the fact= that the Technology Committee, which is co-chaired by the Academic Technology Resources Coordinator and the Information Systems’ Director, has not = been meeting pending completion of the technology master plan, which was expecte= d to be completed by the fall 2004 semester.&nb= sp; The task force has not completed the plan so it will be necessary to= continue its work into the spring semester. Katie added that the Senate either makes= or confirms all faculty appointments. Therefore, because of the immediate= need to have a faculty co-chair to replace the current co-chair who will be on sabbatical leave next semester, the Senate can choose to make the appointme= nt, and if necessary submit a Governance Structure Group Request to SPC indicat= ing how the co-chairs have been appointed.

Moti= on 5 &= nbsp; &nbs= p; MSC Hohman, Brannick: The Faculty Senate directs the Committee on Committees to research whether any policy exists on how the chair was appointed to the Technology Master Planning Task Force, and, if it is necessary, submit a Governance Structure Group Request delineating how the Senate made the appo= intment.

<= /span>

Motion 6&nbs= p; &= nbsp; &nbs= p; MSC Levy, Bealo: To extend the meeting until 3:30 p.m.

<= /span>

There was also discussion on the number of technology committees that exist and the need f= or review and possible restructure including a review of the board procedure regarding the Academic Technology Resources Coordinator position. Katie indicated that Bonnie Dowd will be reviewing the procedure and committee structure and bring forward recommendations in the spring for Senate consideration.

Moti= on 7 &= nbsp; &nbs= p; MSC Hohman, Levy: The current Academic Technology Coordinator replace the former Academic Technology Coordinator as co-chair of the Technology Ma= ster Plan Task Force effective immediately.

ADJO= URNMENT: &= nbsp; The meeting was adjourned at 3:30 p.m.
