Students the planning for Student Voices United for Change Conference. Club Day was originally scheduled for April 21st but the date will be pushed out to Thursday, April 28th instead. Anita invited all to Wednesday meetings which begin at 4:00 pm.

Funding Options:

Shared was list with six options: original three, one proposed at meeting of 3/15, one proposed at meeting of 4/12, and one proposed on the MS Form.

Desiring to narrow the list down to fewer options making the decision easier, IPBT members voted with the majority in favor of removing the option “We hire one more faculty position from the faculty prioritization list and the rest of the funding goes to hire a Classified Instructional Designer and Dean.”

Christina explained that, unlike faculty or administrators, classified professionals keep their position level and their bumping rights when their position is eliminated. Thus, hiring a classified professional with one-time money for one year would mean when the position terminated the person that was hired for that position could bump anyone else in the District with their position title and level but less seniority.

IPBT members then voted on each of the remaining five options to decide to keep the option on the list. Majority voted no on the option “We hire four faculty positions from the faculty prioritization list and request that the senior staff use one-time money to hire a dean and an Instructional Designer for the remainder of this year, and the 2022-2023 fiscal year.” The majority voted to keep each of the other four options.

The list of options became:

1.We hire four faculty positions from the faculty prioritization list.

2. We hire three faculty positions on the list and one Classified Instructional Designer. 3. We hire three faculty positions on the list and one Classified Instructional Designer and request that the senior staff use one-time money to hire a dean for the remainder of this year, and the 2022-2023 fiscal year, with the understanding that permanent funding would come from future retirements, resignations, or new dollars in Instruction for the 2023-2024 fiscal year and beyond. 4. We hire three faculty positions on the list and one Classified Instructional Designer and request that the senior staff use one-time money to hire a dean for the remainder of this year and

the 2022-2023 fiscal year.

Ranked Choice was set up and members voted. Results link is: https://www.rcv123.org/results/qxiGj9opCx6qNxCdvwUrAo . Per outcome of this vote the recommendation moving forward to College Council is:

We hire three faculty positions on the list and one Classified Instructional Designer and request that the senior staff use one-time money to hire a dean for the remainder of this year, and the 2022-2023 fiscal year, with the understanding that permanent funding would come from future retirements, resignations, or new dollars in Instruction for the 2023-2024 fiscal year and beyond.

Due Date for Program Review: IPBT members voted to extend the due date for the Program Review until May 20, 2022. The Convocation traditionally has been an opportunity for department chairs to work with faculty in their department on Program Review responses. Moving the due date from May 6th to May 20th permits this.
