1. Final Review and Action on IPC Membership Structure: Though the Academic Senate discussed this matter they did not take action on it at there last meeting. It is anticipated they will do so at their May 5th meeting.
2. Partnership For Excellence: An Update: There were two parts to this discussion. Ed Buckley and Ricardo Navarrette reviewed the disposition of all the proposed Partnership For Excellence projects which came in on the infamous "purple sheets". Total requests for P4E funding was approximately $8 million. Ed and Ricardo, for their respective areas, indicated which projects were funded with P4E funds, which may have received some other funding source and those which were not funded. It is IPC's understanding that Ed and Ricardo will notify the individuals and departments which made proposals of their status.
The second part of the P4E discussion centered on the review of P4E activities for 1998-99. IPC reviewed a proposed board report on P4E and Curt Groninga indicated how this report would be reconciled with the P4E activity report produced last month. Curt indicated the document was in "rough draft" form and IPC would receive a final document with its May 10th agenda.
3. Evaluation of Academic Affairs Organization: Ed reviewed the suggested evaluation process and time-line utilized for the Academic Affairs organization evaluation. He identified the evaluators and the participants. He furthered outlined key questions which respondents were requested to answer. A draft summary report will be completed on April 27th and a report made to the Board of Trustees on May 11th.
4. Clarification of Senate Resolution On Full-Time Faculty: Brenda reported on the discussion held at the last Senate meeting. Apparently, the Senate executive committee was asked to draft a new resolution for 1999-00 which will clearly address the 40% proposal. It will be further discussed and debated at the Senate's May 5th meeting. Ed suggested the Senate may wish to work with the chairs to ascertain P4E priorities as they relate to the full-time faculty proposal.
5. Institutional Goals 1999-00: It was agreed that the 1999-00 Institutional Goals be forwarded to the Board of Trustees as an information item. They are the same goals with a slightly changed emphasis as those adopted in January 1998.
6. 19998-99 Cross-component Goal on Adjunct Faculty: Speaking for the component administrators, Ed Buckley reviewed the progress made on this cross-component goal. This brief report is linked to this item. The components felt they have made some progress but not sufficient to deem the goal as accomplished and completed.
