- APR Goal Form—should resource requests be on separate forms or grouped together?
The committee discussed the confusion surrounding ranking resource requests when multiple requests are on the same goal form. Some members felt it would be more effective to break out the resource requests, but felt APR changes should be part of a larger list of revisions including updating the rubric. Therefore, the committee decided to hold off on making any APR resource request process changes until the entire APR is reviewed. As an interim step, the committee proposed that GC should include on the list of APR funded requests a column that states how much money was allocated for each resource within a goal, and how much was originally requested.
- Program Improvement/Development Award for Senate
The committee pitched several ideas for the Academic Senate to consider for faculty excellence awards. One possible idea was to have people nominate other people, but not themselves.
- Institution Set-Standards process
The committee reviewed feedback from a Governance Council member about whether it is ever acceptable to lower the set-standard. There was disagreement among committee members, so no resolution was reached to change the current process of using 95% of a three-year average for the rate. The committee also discussed what steps the college would take if we fell below the set-standard. Some ideas were discussed such as prioritizing resources to goals that relate to improving the set-standard during the resource allocation prioritization process. However, no consensus was reached. This process will need to be discussed in the future.
