1.FACULTY DIVERSITY: Messrs. Lara, Roman and Tripp addressed IPC on the the need for a more diverse faculty and one that is more representative of

historically underrepresented groups. They are to address a more detailed memorandum Brenda Flyswithhawks and Curt Groninga on this subject with the possible scheduling of a further presentation at IPC or another SRJC planning committee.

2.PLANNING COMMITTEE COORDINATION: IPC members reviewed the minutes of the other core planning committee. Doug Garrison clarified questions related to the STEP minutes.

3.PLANS UPDATE: The Component Administrators presented their proposed Institutional Plans Documents Taxonomy designed to classify and review planning documents relevant to institutional planning. IPC agreed with their approach and the Components will complete their listing and plans categorizations.

4.FULL-TIME FACULTY FIVE-YEAR PLAN: Ron Root provided a final updated review of the Full-Time Faculty Five Year Plan. The plan has been reviewed by the Academic Senate. Craig Butcher, on behalf of a few faculty who had some remaining questions relayed concerns to Vice-President Root and IPC. Questions centered around the impact of the proposed $62 million increase (statewide) in adjunct salary funds and whether the 75/25 ratio was an accreditation issue. The $62 million dollars is for an entirely separate salary matter and is not designed to provide funds for the conversion and hiring of more full-time faculty. As to establishing specific goals for the conversion and hiring of more full time faculty, IPC indicated that only realistic goals based on growth and funding patterns could work. Only in a general sense is the 75/25 ratio a part of a review of accreditation standards. Accreditation standards do not address specific ratios between full and part-time faculty. However, it could be designated as part of a plan evolving from the self-study. IPC recommended the Full Time Faculty Five Year Plan be forwarded to the Board of Trustees for their action...

4.PARTNERSHIP FOR EXCELLENCE: CHANCELLOR'S SURVEY: Ron Root outlined SRJC's response to the Chancellor's Office P4E Survey. The report is not an expenditure analysis but a general response to general P4E questions. A copy of the survey will be provided with the next IPC agenda.

5.MID-YEAR REPORTS: The Vice-Presidents and the Executive Dean for the Petaluma Campus provided a brief review of their mid-year component area goals status reports. Final reports will be made available to IPC at the end of the 2000/2001 year and their new 2001/2002 goals will be provided at the end of the year as well.
