Criterion Meeting Minutes - Library Conference Room – 2^nd fl

Tuesday, March 9, 2004

1:30 to 3:00 pm

Members in attendance: Mary Davison, Linda Garcia, Kathy Green,  Mike Hubbs, Brent Jamison, Adriana Loera, Jim Moore, Elizabeth Saliba, Denny Sheehan (chair).

Adriana Loera was welcomed as the new NCA secretary.  Denny revisited minutes from the last meeting.

To this point, the following core components have been brainstormed addressing criterion one:

Mission and Integrity – the organization operates with integrity to ensure the fulfillment of its structures and processes that involve the board, administration, faculty, staff, and students

1. core component 1a; 1b; and 1c on February 10, 2004 - See Appendix A
2. core component 1d on February 24, 2004 – See Appendix B

Denny presented the agenda for today’s’ meeting: develop a list of documents in support of core competency 1e; plus address how information will be gathered and used to measure the level of quality for each component.

Brainstorming was initiated to resume work on criterion one: mission and integrity - core component 1e which states: The organization upholds and protects its integrity. See Appendix C

Copies of the new book are temporarily available through Adriana Loera, outside of the Dean of Instructions office, at the Administration building.

Next meeting we will look at all the information we have gathered through our brainstorming efforts, sort through them, and clarify what information we will retrieve and where we will find it. Denny Sheehan will bring back information and updates from the criterion chair meeting.

Denny Sheehan addressed the “Brent Jamison” memo/letter. The letter/memo would like our committee to make clear exactly what our criterion is about and what do we want to do. The question being is the PC mission statement used in our daily activities to make decisions? We want to measure to see if our mission statement is the lens we look through to see everything the college does. Are the seven goals related and should they be related to the mission? Next meting we will review what we have comprised to this point.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday, March 23, 2004 at 1:20pm in the Library Conference Room, second floor.

The meeting was adjourned at 3:30pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Mary Davison
