- Review charter
The committee reviewed the charter at the previous SPC meeting in October. However, based on discussions at Governance Council, the changes to the charter were not approved. Instead, SPC was asked to consider the balance of faculty representation on the committee. Based on discussions, SPC removed an administrator (CTE Director or designee) and added a third Academic Senate Representative. These charter revisions, along with the revisions discussed at the October SPC meeting, will be reviewed and voted on by the Governance Council, and presented as an information item to the Academic Senate.
- Annual Committee Review
A draft of the Annual Committee Review was discussed. The SPC revised the proposed goals of the draft related to collaborating with other committees on institutional planning. The draft was approved, and will receive peer review in December.
- Strategic Action Plan data
A draft of the Strategic Action Plan data was distributed to SPC members. The draft includes data for the metrics of the plan, as well as proposed goals for the metrics. The SPC will have a special meeting sometime in December to review the data.
- IEPI grant allocation of remaining funds
The college has about $75,000 remaining of unspent IEPI grant funds. The IARP office has been receiving various requests to spend these funds. In the interest of integrated planning, the SPC reviewed a proposal to use the IEPI grant towards unfunded APR requests that are directly related to the grant. IARP conducted a review of the unfunded APR requests, and found four annual goal form requests related to SLOs from the social sciences division. Based on discussions with the division chair of the four goals, the division would require about $55,000 to fund the four APR goals. The SPC was comfortable with funding these goals to some level, but believe that the goals may be funded at a lower amount. The committee expressed a desire to allow Mark to continue with ongoing data related projects already in progress with the other remaining IEPI funds. Mark will work with the division chair to figure out exactly how much money they will need. The committee felt that these revisions did not need to go to Governance Council for a vote.
- ACCJC’s new portfolio model
The SPC reviewed a letter from ACCJC about their new portfolio model. This model is similar to the WASC model, and includes a special liaison assigned to our college (ACCJC Vice President Gohar Momjian). This liaison will serve as the point of contact between TC and ACCJC. The liaison will also be actively involved in the next institutional self-evaluation report, including providing the college training 18 months prior to the scheduled visit, as well as selecting the team of peer reviewers that will visit TC.
- Proportionality Index
SPC discussed the proportionality index, an alternative method to calculate equity gaps. Currently, the college uses the 80% rule. A consensus was not reached as to whether the college should switch to the proportionality index. The SPC will continue this discussion at the next meeting.
