E-Mail Distribution Jeff Cox reported that because of the huge amounts of incoming spam from outside emails it has become necessary to do something about this problem. In order to reduce incoming spam messages, Jeff recommended that the GBC-All group and GBC-Elko group be taken off of the Reno server so that outside parties will not be able to access the group. The email groups that should be used will have the extension gwmail.gbcnv.edu. This will help to eliminate the unusually large amounts of spam that we have been receiving. The change will not affect individual groups and we can still use our gbcnv.edu accounts. Student email accounts will not be affected. This will in no way filter individual incoming emails, but only the emails from the outside that are to GBC-ALL. Note: Adjuncts can forward their GroupWise emails to another email account (such as yahoo) so that they can ensure that they receive all GroupWise communications. Jeff will continue to give classes on GroupWise. Changes for the email system will happen next week. Jeff will send out an email to explain what is happening. Faculty Senate Update Kathy Schwandt reported the highlights of Faculty Senate meeting on March 18, 2005. The division discussion has been tabled until the next academic year, as it is pre-mature to be addressing the issue at this point. They will continue with Department Chairs and the position of Dean of Academic Support for Applied Science, which will oversee Business, CTE, and COT. Faculty Senate approved final exam schedule for fall 2005. Faculty Senate approved an amended version of the workload policy. We need figure out the costs associated with the changes. There will be more discussion when Mike gets back. Senate also approved the recommendations of the Curriculum and Articulation report. Miscellaneous As everyone is aware a pop up notice about the computer use policy has been enacted. It is the policy that is already in place. It may be a little inconvenient, but it raises peoples awareness about the policy. We will review the computer policy pop-up procedure next fall to see how effective its been. Carl Diekhans reminded everyone about the luncheon that Follett is hosting on March 30, 2005 in the Solarium. Faculty and administration are invited and encouraged to attend. It will be a question and answer session. Follett is planning to give vouchers worth $250 to faculty who turn their book orders in on time to give to a student of their choice to spend at their bookstore. Then the faculty members name will be placed in a national drawing where the grand prize will be up to $15,000 to be used for a speaker of their choice. Carl stated that our budget is in good shape this year. However, the next biennium Carl predicted we wont be as fortunate because of our low FTE. As soon as Carl knows what the budget will be, he will schedule a meeting to chart a course of action for the next two years. Erik Seastedt reported that the FICA alternative will go into affect July 1. Adjuncts have been notified. If an adjunct was on the payroll that past year they will have a choice of staying with social security or the choosing the alternative. New employees will not have a choice. Lynn Mahlberg reported that there have been changes to the millennium scholarship bill. As it is now they have agreed to fund up to 12 credits at the community college level, which is what we wanted. She will continue to monitor how this bill is doing in the legislature. Dr. Killpatrick reported that Senator Titus has agreed to be the commencement speaker. She was honored that she was asked and looks forward to coming to Elko as she has never been here. Erik Seastedt will follow up on Tony Curtis being the speaker at next years commencement. The College Councils first meeting will be April 29, 2005 at 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. Thereafter, the meetings will be scheduled for one week after each BOR meeting. Lynn Mahlberg will be the chair. The Compensation and Benefits Committee was given a February 14, 2005 deadline for submitting a proposal for a policy for merit increases for faculty above the salary schedule range. Nothing was submitted by the deadline. John Rice reported on AB 280 a bill that states that if a high school instructor with a masters degree in a specific discipline teaches a high school class, that the student received dual credit for the course. He is concerned about high schools awarding GBC credit without being faculty members. The institution has to remain in control of granting credit. He will be looking further into the details of this bill.
