Information: Illowsky began the meeting welcoming those in attendance,
introducing the agenda, and then initiating a round of self introductions. Presidents’ Comments: Brian
Murphy welcomed especially faculty colleagues from the North.
II. Teaching and Learning
Project: Nancy Ragey and Amy Gerstein were introduced as
the consultants for this initially two part project. They presented the results of a survey on
Professional Development taken by new full time faculty at De Anza and
Foothill. A printed version of a
projected presentation used by Nancy and Amy was distributed. A variety of topics were covered by the
survey. The two will return with the
Chancellor at a later date to discuss further implementation of the study’s
recommendations. III. Plenary
Session Resolutions: The group assembled attempted discussion of resolutions headed for
statewide Senate vote November 3rd.
After some dispute regarding a shared understanding of the District
vote, the joint senates discussed and agreed to support resolutions 4.01 and
4.02 (regarding expansion of high school concurrent enrollment possibilities)
as well as 13.02 (transition of faculty to administration). De Anza Academic Senate Meeting
The meeting began at 4:04 I. Approval of Agenda and
Notes:
The notes were approved as distributed. President Murphy returns: Murphy came to say that he had discussed faculty names for vice
president searches with the officers but, since that discussion was very
recent, had been unable to reach faculty identified to find out about their
willingness to serve. He said he would return November 5th. After Murphy left, several Senators expressed
discomfort with the prospects of being asked to confirm a list without other
having the opportunity to volunteer.
Setziol explained that, in the case of administrative hires, the
responsible administrator is to submit a list of names for Senate consideration
and that the officers in these and other cases sometimes discuss potential
committee composition and come to agreement on a specific slate of faculty for
a particular committee. Goodwin reminded
the officers that Murphy had previously stated his intention to have a part
time faculty member on the Vice President of Instruction committee. She hoped that as a principle would carry
over to the Student Services position as well.
II. Needs and
Confirmations: Chenoweth will represent the faculty on the Educational
Information Systems Steering Committee. Mia
Tipton, Chris Kwak, and Mike Gough were confirmed for service on the Accounting
Faculty Search and Selection Committee. The meeting was adjourned at 4:34.
