Strategic Planning Dr. Cliff Ferry provided an update on the strategic planning process. Strategic planning forums have been held in Winnemucca and Ely. Other forums will be scheduled for Battle Mountain, Wendover, Jackpot, Owyhee, and Wells. Also, he has met with the student government, the PIE committee, student services, and the department chairs. The student services master plan is being updated and will be completed in January. Dr. Ferry stated that the final plan will have three levels of goals and objectives: 1) department level; 2) academic, student services, and financial plans; and 3) five-year strategic plan. Grant Update Ms. Jeannie Rosenthal reported that work on the HRSA (Health Resources and Service Administration) Career Ladder proposal is ongoing, as is the work on the Title III proposal. She reported that the TRIO Student Support Services grant will help with GBCs retention by targeting low income households, minorities, and first-time college students. Ms. Rosenthal reported that she will be representing GBC at the Elko Providers meeting to be held once a month. Representatives of the different service organizations such as PACE, Ruby Mountain Resource Center, Nevada Early Intervention Services, FISH, and GBC will meet once per month to network, discuss current programs and services, and determine if there are partnership opportunities. Presidents Council suggested that Mr. Pat Collins become involved with these meetings, too. Ms. Rosenthal will provide more detailed information at the Presidents Council meeting on January 13, 2004 about a group of people who are interested in applying for an art council grant to start a film festival in Elko. The request will be for GBC to be the fiscal manager. She reported that colleges can acquire movies cheaper, so long as the movies are not competing against the local theaters. Chronicle of Higher Education Ad Presidents Council reviewed a list of positions that will be advertised in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Presidents Council approved the list with some minor changes. Dr. Killpatrick requested that the Director of Human Resources also be advertised on the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR) website. Intellectual Property Rights Committee - Dr. Betty Elliott informed Presidents Council that each institution is required to have an intellectual property rights committee. Dr. Killpatrick has already met with the Distance Education Committee in regards to the Teach Act and discussed with the committee the possibility of them being the intellectual property rights committee. Dr. Daniels will incorporate the additional responsibility of serving as GBCs campus intellectual property rights committee into the Distance Education Committees duties. Early Tenure During Probationary Period Dr. Elliott has been investigating what other institutions are doing regarding early tenure during probationary periods. She has found that the most of the institutions in Nevada discourage early tenure during the probationary period. She will seek additional information and report back to Presidents Council. Merit Raises for Faculty at Top of Salary Schedule Dr. Elliott will research the policies of the other institutions on how they handle merit raises for faculty at the top of the salary schedule. She will report back her findings to Presidents Council. Enrollment Planning Report Mr. Carl Diekhans reminded Presidents Council that the Enrollment Report is due to the system tomorrow. He presented different projections. Presidents Council suggested going with an average of the three-year moving average and the U.C.C.S.N. Weighted Three-Year Model. Mr. Diekhans and Dr. Heberer will meet today to finalize the numbers to submit to the system. Student Fees Ms. Lynn Mahlberg stated that if there is to be a change in student fees, the request needs to be brought forth at the January 2004 Board of Regents meeting. Presidents Council discussed the possibility of increasing the application fee from $5 to $10. Even with this increase GBC would be at the low end compared with what the other institutions are charging. Millennium Scholarship Ms. Mahlberg provided the procedures for the Millennium Scholarship program which was reviewed by Presidents Council. She informed Presidents Council that a change is being implemented to the refund policy that will be retroactive to the year 2000. This change would mean that institutions would be responsible for paying back to the Millennium Scholarship fund any refunds that have already been disbursed to students. Any refunds occurring from this point forward will automatically go to the state treasurers office and not to the student. Disability Statement Ms. Mahlberg reported that the Disability Statement defined by the system for all institutions has been reviewed and is acceptable. Each institution is allowed to develop its own disability statement to provide reasonable accommodations to meet the academic needs of students with disabilities. The only change to the statement that Ms. Mahlberg recommended was to clarify the other protected groups. Fitness Center Hours Ms. Mahlberg informed Presidents Council of the Fitness Center holiday hours. Beginning December 12, 2003, the Fitness Center will be open Monday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and on Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Fitness Center will be closed on Saturday and Sunday and on December 25, December 26, and January 1. On December 24 and December 31, the Fitness Center hours will be from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Miscellaneous Dr. Killpatrick stated that the meeting on December 8 with ComputerCorps and representatives from GBC, the city of Elko, the county of Elko, NYTC, Elko County School District, and representatives from various mining companies was very positive. He will be talking with city and county officials about a possible site for a facility. He reported that a partnership involving these entities may create opportunities for new business incubators. Ms. Mahlberg reported that Student Services has hired Tawny Crum as the new Financial Aid Specialist and will begin work on December 22. Ms. Mahlberg reported that as of December 8, 2003 GBC had 506 FTE for the spring compared to 368 FTE for the same period last year. Mr. Gonzales stated that the workshops for assessment and learning outcomes have been finalized as part of the in-service activities for faculty returning in spring. Dr. Elliott reported that the Community College Conference planning is coming along nicely. The webpage for the conference is now available. The planning committee has received more than enough suggestions for sessions. There has been quite a bit of money pledged for Rudy Ruettiger, the keynote speaker. The planning committee approved an increase in the registration fee to $75. The Red Lion will be the host hotel for the conference and will offer the state rate for participants. The Red Lion will also be the host for the dinner on Friday night. Presidents Council commended the quality of the most recent ABE/ESL newsletter. (28:?
