MINUTES HLC CRITERION ONE MEETING

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2004

HC-3

Attendance:  Judy Boschult, Mary Davison, Linda Garcia, Kathy Green, Brent Jameson, Willie Jones, Adriana Loera, Elizabeth Saliba, Denny Sheehan.

The meeting convened at 1:30 p.m. Chairperson Sheehan addressed the following items:

Draft Copy of sister-college Criterion One report:  Denny shared copies of a draft of another campus’ criterion one work.  Discussion followed the content of the draft, noting several references to the District mission and values’ statements along with the campus’ own mission and values’ statements.

Discussion of Core Component 1C:  Discussion followed regarding what practices, etc. would be best practices for 1C.  The curriculum process at PC was discussed. Also considered were articulation programs and enrichment programs which PC offers.

Technology was a second topic considered as a  “best practice example” for core component 1C.  Several questions arose which could become part of the inquiry of/research about technology.  Among them are “how responsive is technology budgeting/planning to the changing needs of PC students?” “How does the campus budget for technology?” “How many hybrid courses does PC offer?” “What are the activities of Ocotillo?”  “What does LTD offer [services and training]…”  that reflects the campus’ responsiveness to the changing needs of PC students and PC communities?

Mary Davison will do some research on the area of technology for the committee.

Discussion of Core Component 1B:  The group then turned its attention to component 1B.  Discussion centered on the PC International Center and the Customized Training Institute as possible best practices on which to focus. Denny Sheehan will look into information about the International Center and Kathy Green will look into information about the Customized Training Center for the next meeting.

The meeting adjourned at 3:05 pm.

Next meeting: November 16, 1:30 p.m. in HC-3.
