    Meeting Minutes


     Approval of Agenda & Minutes from October 15 meeting
    • Agenda approved
    • Minutes approved (with corrections in the ePrint area)

     Needs and Confirmations  
    • EAC vote- 
      • At approximately 2:45 PM, Betty Inouye brought forward to Mary Pape a printed statement from Lisa Castro, submitting her name and interest for consideration for EAC faculty voting member, and Betty stated that Lisa had also emailed her statement.  Mary Pape then checked her email and she saw that an email was sent from Lisa Castro at 2:31 PM (One minute after the Senate meeting began). Executive Committee discussed whether or not to consider this candidate and there was no motion made to consider the candidate.  Some Senators stated that, since she did not submit her name before the meeting started, and also since ballots with the other 7 candidates and their statements had already been distributed for voting before Betty brought the statement forward, Lisa Castro’s interest in serving on EAC should not be considered this time. There was general agreement and no opposition.
      • Discussion
        • Veronica N. asked for clarification about the charge and the voting member composition of the committee.
        • Motion to table the vote (Veronica), seconded by Susan
          • Ishmael asked for clarification of a deadline to submit names for consideration.
          • Motion was withdrawn
        • With no further discussion, Karen called for the vote and there was no objection
        • Results of EAC vote: Erik Woodbury, Mayra Cruz, and Kim Palmore.
      • Vote on FHDA Chief of Police Hiring Committee
        • Discussion of the candidates
        •  The result  of the vote: Dawn Lee Tu by majority

    Office & Classroom Furniture Refresh Update

    Committee Reports
    • IPBT
      • Mary P. provided an update
      • IPBT Voted to recommend to College Council elimination of Wildlife Science Technician program and Women’s Water Polo last week
      • IPBT Voted to not recommend elimination for Nursing or Football at this time to College Council last week.
    • SSPBT
      • Kevin G. provided an update
      • Questions asked were: what is the Strategic plan in terms of enrollment? How will the incentivized retirement plan impact the cuts recommended?
      • Susan voiced interested in hearing more about this, information update requested  (in response to division reorganization proposals presented to SSPBT but not approved by SSPBT). 
    • District Academic Senate
      • Karen provided an update, description of the committee and the logistics of the process of policies
      • Admin policy 5010 on admissions, bc FH (currently on leave) and DA currently don’t have deans of admissions 
      • Administrator hiring committees - discussion of part-time representation, the process is being evaluated at the district level
      • Probation policies  - FH would like to discuss a district probation policy as we move forward with AB705 to address how can a failing grade be removed for a student if the prerequisite class no longer exists 
      • Karen mentioned that another process that will start soon is FSA (Faculty Service Area) Reconciliation between Foothill and De Anza. The last FSA Reconciliation took place in 2011, so it is time to do another update. This is the process where departments from each college will be asked to review their list of courses to disciplines to FSAs, and compare them to the same/similar courses to disciplines to FSAs list at the other college, to see if there are any discrepancies that need to be resolved.  Also, Alicia De Toro and Paul Setziol are going through the De Anza courses to disciplines to FSAs list, updated last academic year, to see if there are any discrepancies between De Anza courses, especially between courses that are cross-listed. De Anza’s list of courses to disciplines to FSAs can be found here.  Also, see this ASCCC explanation of FSAs.

    • Erik motioned for the resolution to create a task force and charge, seconded by Mary 
      • all voted in favor
    • Committee requested this to return as a higher item on the November 5 agenda so that we have more time to discuss the charge of this committee.  Ishmael agreed to draft up a charge for the committee to discuss/consider.
