HLC CRITERION ONE MEETING

Tuesday, September 21, 2004

Attendance: Mary Davison, Linda Garcia, Kathy Green, Sylvia Phillips, Elizabeth Saliba, Adriana Loera, Brent Jameson, Denny Sheehan, Judy Boschult

The meeting came to order at 1:30.  Chairperson Denny Sheehan addressed items in the following order:

Monthly meeting time.  The group agreed that the third Tuesday of each month would be the scheduled meeting time.  Thus, October 19 and November 16 will be the next scheduled meetings dates for fall semester.

Committee membership.  The group discussed increasing committee membership to help widen the influence of HLC on campus.  In addition, it was thought that additional membership would enhance the employee group representation on the committee. Members were invited to bring a new committee member to the October 19 meeting.

Six areas of focus.  The committee discussed six areas about which they could begin to gather information and data to be presented in the Criterion one report.  The areas are these: PC Basics, the PC strategic plan, Walkabouts, Strategic planning implementation, the Campus Climate survey, and Service excellence.  The members then selected the areas they wished to work on.   Mary Davison and Kathy Green will work on PC Basics,  Elizabeth Saliba will work on the evolution of the strategic plan as well as its implementation. Linda Garcia will work on Walkabouts (Rounding).Willie Jones previously had agreed to work on the Climate Survey.  And Sylvia Phillips will work on Service Excellence.

Members agreed to share results of their information with Judy Boschult by October 12 so she can prepare an initial draft for the group to look at during the October 19 meeting.

Discussion followed about the effectiveness of Interim Dean Kakar’s communications/updates to department chairs.  Those department chairs present indicated that they would like the other deans to distribute such communications.

The current Web page restructuring was briefly discussed and what the reasons are for the changes being implemented.

Last, some conversation occurred about the previous campus Values’ statement.  The question remained whether PC still needs a Values’ statement or not.

The meeting concluded at 2:40 p.m.
