1. Hate Free College Issue.

Presentation by special guests Alan Odom and Christine Mibach from the Sonoma County Hate Crime Prevention Network.

While interest persisted in the topic, constituent groups were not yet prepared to report on any proposed, specific plan they would like to undertake.

2. Review and Discussion of new draft Policy and Procedures 4.3.10 MANAGEMENT TEAM HIRING.

Management Team Hiring: The general draft was acceptable to all groups but disagreement persisted on the number of individuals appropriate for hiring committee membership. Dianne will prepare and circulate each group's opinion and forward the draft with our separate suggestions, to the Board for their December meeting.

3. Revision to Policy 0.6 STUDENT MEMBER(S) [of the Board].

Students, classified, and AFA support this revision. Faculty and Administration pass. Dianne will forward to the Board for their December meeting with these separate opinions clarified for the Board.

4. Discussion of Privacy Policy and Procedures 4.21 PRIVACY AND ACCESS.

There was a question regarding the references to the Federal law and Ed Code citations. Dianne indicated she would pursue for the minutes. An additional question arose regarding a what if scenario where a new faculty member, in a local department, chose not to allow the same previously agreed access to files, desks, etc.

Craig Butcher indicated there is a strong need for education/training about this policy throughout the college.

5. Amendment to District Policy 2.5 regarding the students' role in shared governance.

Comments from constituent groups. Dianne Smith reported that the Academic Senate wishes to have further executive committee review and wants the document not to go forward to constituents at large until all constituent leadership has offered their changes to the draft.

6. Review and discussion of College Calendar

Ricardo Navarrette reviewed the 2000/01 College Calendar. College Council was ultimately agreeable with the proposed calendar though members reflected a series of questions from their various constituency groups. Craig Butcher indicated AFA is surveying adjunct faculty on a number of topics including their participation in PDA days. PDA days need to be looked at in terms of their scheduling and length of time and how they impact on departmental activities. Also, he reflected AFA concerns on the personal enhancement emphasis of several of the presentations. He will be forwarding his comments to Staff Development as well. Senate made the request that the calendar committee start planning earlier next year so that constituents do not have to do a rushed review of their recommendations.

FACULTY SENATE CONSULTATION AGENDA (Title V Mandated Senate/Board Material)

1. Revised policies regarding AA Degrees

The Faculty Senate representatives presented the Senate's recommendation to the Board that SRJC now offer two additional AA degrees (one through certification for transfer to the UC system/IGETC and a second through certification for transfer to the CSU system.) These changes to our AA degree pattern will be taken to the Board in December. Any technical issues (catalogue changes, mainframe changes, etc.) should be discussed as soon as possible. The target date for implementation is Fall 2001.
