INSTITUTIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL

MARCH 9, 1998

Minutes

ABSENT: C. Ellis, K. Hoffmann, J. Mann, D. Sweitzer

1. STUDENT SERVICES OPERATIONAL GOALS: Ricardo Navarrette presented the 1998-99 Student Services Operational Goals. He reviewed the intent of each of the six operational goals and nine objectives. The general purpose of the goals is to develop the student services organization and review its current functions and make requisite changes to the operation as needed. Student Services Operational Goals address such issues as program review and master planning, outreach counseling, Petaluma student services, organizational structure review, facilities need and the development of a technology plan. There were a few questions related to points needing clarification. Ricardo was asked whether the goals address the future of Physical Education/Athletics. He answered that the goals do not directly address that but when looking at organizational structure that will be considered. Also, as part of the discussion related to Petaluma student services, Curt Groninga indicated that at a near future IPC meeting, there would be a discussion on Phase II Planning.

 

2. ACADEMIC AFFAIRS: Ed Buckley presented the 1998-99 Academic Affairs Operational Goals. As with the previous three administrative presentations, Ed reviewed the intent of the seven operational goals and twenty-four objective statements. Academic Affairs planning initiatives address workforce education and training and its relationship to Academic Affairs organizational structures, implementation of the proposed reorganization plan, Petaluma campus planning and status, the utilization of Coddingtown and other off-site instructional centers, enrollment management, program scheduling and facilities needs and the Academic Affairs Technology Plan. Again, there were a few questions designed to evoke some clarification as to the intent of the various goals and objectives. As part of the discussions related to growth and the Petaluma Center campus status, Curt reminded IPC, that, at its March 23^rd meeting, the issue of Petaluma Phase II Planning would be addressed and that Doug Garrison would be invited to participate. It is further anticipated that at its April 6^th meeting, Doug will be invited to present on the subject of enrollment management as further discussion related to the on-going institutional planning issue of growth.

 

3. CROSS-COMPONENT OPERATIONAL GOAL RE: ADJUNCT FACULTY: A lengthy and spirited discussion as to the intent and scope of this cross component goal was held. The component administrators intent was to begin to address the "care and feeding" issues related to better supporting the needs of the adjunct faculty while recognizing they are an important and major part of the college. Other IPC members suggested the goal should be broadened somewhat in order to address the issue of the 75:25 ratio. Specifically, there was some sentiment to establish, as part of the operational goal, a target to increase the ratio in order to further insure instructional quality. It was decided the Component Administrators would revisit its goal and better clarify its intent.

4. MARCH 23^RD MEETING: It was agreed that the first two agenda items at the next IPC meeting will the presentation of the Educational Goals and Objectives led by Everett Traverso and the discussion of Petaluma Phase II Planning led by Ed Buckley, Curt Groninga and Doug Garrison. A revisit to the Cross-Component Goal may be possible.

 

5. APRIL 6^TH MEETING: The two planned agenda items for this meeting will be a resumption of the discussion of institutional planning issues addressing growth (enrollment management) and a planned revisit of the Cross-Component Goal on Adjunct Faculty.
