4.      Next meeting, Oct. 11th (Monday) HC-3, will look at 2B

 

Once the agenda was explained, Ann had the new committee members introduce themselves.

Ann then handed out minutes of the last meeting and asked the group to review them and send an email to her if they had any changes.

Then a chart that lists different areas and the evidence/data that can fall under 2A was handed out. The team discussed the chart and came up with the following suggestions/additions to the chart:

  • Ask all programs (academic/occupational) what new certificates or degrees do they have since ’96, what were the changes and what were those changes based on? Bonnie will find out about this, Kristen A. has the Occup. Prog list. Committee thought it would be good to clarify what is a Program?
  • Program reviews, academic and occupational; Brent will supply this information to the committee
  • Custom Training & Education: how did it come about, what changes have come about, what changes are there in the services they provide? Show how they made these changes, program review. (CTE Program review)
  • City Colleges Center is not closed, but it has changed; has four areas, TPHS, Genesis, AWEE, NAU – showing flexibility. Looking at changing function of CCC in the next year. Key players for CCC are Bruce Stevens and Jim Moore. Jill  will look into this.
  • Osborn campus – OSW; culinary, massage. When did it begin?
  • Should also take a look at the 1994 Bond = Remodeling: Dalby, library, admin, DID WE REALLY MEET ALL OF OUR OBJECTIVES? From last bond and then look at new bond and see what are planning to do with new bond, need to document why we have made the changes in the projections.  (DENNIS)
  • Preventive Maintenance Plan – new idea, concept that is initiating, C102, indicative that we are planning for the future…while respecting our heritage.
  • Demographics of PUHS, mainly Hispanic, if they are our main feeder how are we adapting to this change in demog and is PUHS our only feeder? How do we respond to their industry and the things they would like to do to reflect these changes….healthcare, legal, ESL at higher level classes, most progs do graduate surveys, based on those surveys do they then make changes based on that.
  • TITLE V, TESTING CENTER
  • Do the service areas have info in Spanish, service areas that have info in Span (Ann) – multicultural response
  • Pres. roundtable, presented applied arts, child and family studies, PEP, community partnerships and benefits of them. (There have been 5 roundtables) are roundtables meaningful evidence to include, or more peripheral. Alverta getting copies of last one to Ann
  • ACE – meeting multicultural and institutional planning, while we are receiving feeder schools we are also serving as a feeder to higher programs. In Child and Family Studies, finding schools where studs can feed into univ from here for CFS. (Leonard – pg 8 bottom, handout – start with Pres. )

Technology - tech plan (‘91-‘01) that Dr. Matte wrote, Darren has the plan, and will get all technology plans. PCLan, fiber optics got implemented from this tech plan, labs, Business, Applied Business have advisory councils, Title V planning and goals. A lot of the planning that is done is based on what is the best thing to do at the right time. It appears that we are moving along in tech but it is not a coordinated plan, need to say that. Trying to standardize what tech/media goes into the classrooms. Delivery point not really addressed; no implementation plan for it. (Mike, Darren, Ann meeting to see where the gaps are, where implementation is, etc.)

Financial planning = grants, hiring of grant coordinator, legally have to fund after grant expires, look at grants, types and numbers since 10 yrs ago. Now that we have had diff types and num of grants, constructive criticism is need to get more org in planning them out, planning process needs to be kept in mind, do we advertise the criteria, processing, continuity issues, talking of outside grants,  = this could be an area of opportunity

can be seen as a best practice because we are using this as an opportunity for improvement, looking to the future.

When we make the statement that this is an area of opportunity, what is it based on? Based on what is being said, what we’ve observed.

After this discussion Ann the gave a copy of the climate survey to review and see if there is anything that fits into Criterion 2 and any areas that are relevant or that can be used as evidence.

The meeting ended by letting everyone know what their assignments were and assuring them that they do not need to be ready for the next meeting.
