Accreditation Update The accreditation report must be mailed to Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities no later than April 6, 2005. GBC will be addressing the four recommendations from the April 2003 Full-Scale Evaluation and the new programs in Agriculture and Land Surveying. The GBC Strategic Plan addresses the systematic planning for and evaluation of its activities. The annual action plan is the operational part of the Strategic Plan. What we accomplish in our annual action plans is documentation of the progress of our systematic planning. Decisions have been made with the help of studies on retention, graduate surveys, and leads assessments. A survey about the Criminal Justice Program led to an Advisory group being established and finally the hiring of a CRJ instructor. Dr. Garry Heberer is working on a report that will compare GBCs performance indicators with the performance indicators within the system. GBC has improved its assessment of student learning with the implementation of the electronic portfolio. The electronic portfolio tracks the progress of student knowledge and skills. The Assessment Committee created a rubric for outcomes and conducted assessment of select general education courses. Dr. Heberer is working with the Electrical and Instrumentation departments to get more information on how they assess students. Dr. Ferry will create an appendix of the evidence of the accomplishments. Dr. Danny Gonzales reported that his office is working on the logistics of the accreditation visit on April 27. The departments have been providing everything requested, and everyone has been very helpful. In preparation for the visit, we will schedule a two campus forums a week before the visit to review the focus interim report and discuss the format of the evaluation visit. Annual Plan Updates Ms. Summer Ehrmann gave a progress report on the Foundations action plan. The Foundation should see some measurable results in May 2005 which is their public reporting period. Mr. Erik Seastedt updated the Human Resources action plan. Mr. Seastedt stated that Human Resources continue to support the objectives of the Strategic Plan wherever possible. Work continues on standardizing the recruitment process. HR continues to be involved with discussions regarding workload. HR has assisted departments in more fully integrating adjunct faculty into the college. All adjuncts now have an email account. All long-term adjuncts will be included in the new GBC catalog scheduled for release in May 2005. HR worked with the Security Director to identify staffing needs for 24-hour coverage. Four additional positions would be needed in order to have 24-hour coverage. Miscellaneous Ms. Mahlberg reported that because of the lack of tobacco funds, a bill was introduced last week to change the qualifications for the Millennium Scholarship and reduce the funds being used. The bill would prevent remedial courses being funded by the Millennium Scholarship. The bill proposes to pay millennium scholars a flat rate of 6 credits at the community college level and 12 credits at the university level. This disproportionately impacts the community colleges by reducing the Millennium funds by approximately 50% (59.3% at GBC) compared to the universities 15% reduction. The flat rate option discriminates against community college students. We will need to stay on top of this issue for the benefit of our students. Dr. Killpatrick reported that he and Dr. Gonzales were presenters on the Community College Baccalaureate Associations annual conference in New York City. Their presentation was entitled: Preserving the Community College Mission While Offering Bachelor Degrees: A Review Institutional Frameworks and Strategies. (Power point presentation attached). Something of interest from the conference: there was a community college in Florida that was put on probation for integrity by their accrediting agency because the community college included in their accreditation report that they were to receive a specific amount of funding from their state legislature for their baccalaureate programs. The college eventually only receive a third of the funds that were promised to them. Ms. Summer Ehrmann reported on the progress of the Welcome Back get together we are planning for the past members of the GBC Advisory Board. We will be hosting a tour/luncheon on April 1, 2005. She requested that Presidents Council be available to do a 10 15 minute tour and Dr. Killpatrick will speak at the luncheon.
