De Anza Mascot Change

• Mascot change workplan (Draft 5)
• Main webpage
• Initial Survey

• Susan moved, Terrence second to postpone discussion until presenter arrives. Approved without objection.

• Christina mentioned it in Opening Day.
• Juan Manuel Mafrquez: DASB senator, mascot committee, present mascot does not represent current De Anza value in a respectful way, survey all students, faculty, alumni.
• Marisa shows survey choices, mostly lions and bears.
• Tom: who came up with list? Answer: PE and students.
• Mary D.: 2 coaches had suggested dragons. What happened to them?
• Marisa: try to avoid offensive connotations.
• Ishmael: why does write-in ask for an adjective for lions? It is a problem when a write-in is so suggestive.
• Rusty: how many students voted? Current mascot is archaic, outdated, but would prefer list that does not include specific types of lions and bears and other animals but simplify list to just “lions, bears, wildcat, etc”.
• Juan (DASB student on DASB Mascot subcommittee): tried to encourage maximum student participation.
• Paul: like the idea of starting with animals and describe what kind later, have a table at Club Day on Thursday. I Spatafore, DASB Subcommittee Members
• Juan: there's is a small window of time to egt it done.
• Lisa: go back to Mallory about how to eliminate bias in the survey, feels very strongly about it.
• Rusty: would you appreciate the effort to have a booth at Club Day.

Academic Senate Secretary/Treasurer Appointment by Executive Committee for Winter 2020 & Spring 2020

• Academic Senate Constitution & Bylaws
• Karen: confirmed vacancy, Alicia will not be returning.
• Karen showed Senate Constitution that explains what to do in the event of the position being vacated before the election, Constitution states that Academic Senate Executive Committee appoints someone from the Executive Committee to serve out the rest of the term before the Spring election.
• Susan: is position always in tandem or separated? Karen: it has been together since Paul Setziol held this position for a very long time (decades) before he retired and Alicia was voted to the position.
• Tom: asked about release time for this position. Karen: it is typically .25 load
• Mary D: look for volunteers among Executive Committee
• Ishmael: qualifications? Karen will look up and send out the By-law
• Mary D: does it have to be tenured full time? If a part timer does it, what is stipend? Does it have to be a current senator?
• Karen: asks everyone to consider the process through which Executive Committee appoints someone from the Executive Committee to serve out the rest of the term, since the details are not in the Constitution.
• Mary P: We can do our usual process for “Needs” where we announce the vacancy, ask for faculty to step forward and self-nominate by a deadline, and then Executive Committee considers and discusses the nominations and chooses to appoint by normal approval process or voting process in the case of more than one candidate.
