Right now, it’s time to keep the budget moving forward.
Dr. Daniels will be sending a message this week about extending the stay-at-home order and this spring’s commencement. She mentioned that we will have a commencement ceremony, but it might not occur in May at the currently scheduled time.

Old Business
3. Administrative Procedure 7120 Recruitment and Hiring Procedure draft (5 minutes) ACTION
President Eveland shared version 9 of AP 7120. The concerns that Eveland took to Dr. Daniels were
reflected in this version. The areas of 10+1 have been addressed, and this document reflects current practice.
There were concerns from a few senators about how the document could be confusing.
R. Payne explained the reason to include claims of equivalency is to ensure we do not exclude potential candidates.
M. Oja requested clarifying language to address the minimum number of faculty to serve on full time faculty screening committee as a minimum is noted for adjunct faculty screening committees.
Motion to pass with the addition of clarifying language about minimum qualifications. Oja
Second. Jacobi
Because we must run meetings in Zoom at present, Eveland requested that we use the “yes”, “no” and applause feature (for abstentions) to vote. Kulzer-Reyes did her best to capture votes in this format. [The Zoom feature allowing capture of voter names aligned with individual votes was used for this process.]
28 Aye/yes votes
2 No votes
2 abstentions
Motion passed.
New Business
4. ACCJC Annual Report (15 minutes) ACTION
Annual report- all items in the report are the same as last year using MS and live data.
