PEG Followup
Legislators are
seriously considering passing bills which would reallocate Akaku
funding. The Akaku
Board will be meeting next week to come up
with a position. DOE and MCC are
looking for 1/3 of the approximately $815,000 income. MCC will receive 50% and the DOE 50% of that
third. DOE and MCC are also asking for
one-third of the Board seats. Presently
MCC and DOE Board members are ex-officio members with no voting power. Three of the five members will be appointed;
other educational institutions or agencies may become partners with the DOE and
MCC.i.
DOE and MCC are also looking at contributing one-third of
the rental income funds to a pool to support a
news program that will allow us to promote our STEM programs. On the news side, Akaku producers who have enrolled in and completed a course
in video will be able to work in
our studio. Financial reports would be
sent to DCCA with copy to Akaku Board.
The next Board meeting is scheduled for the week of March
21. Clyde is
preparing a powerpoint
presentation to galvanize our community around education. A demonstration will be shown at the
Executive Committee. Colleen will
distribute the Education Access document to committee
members. Clyde will
broadcast when the bill will be in the Senate Intergovernmental Affairs
Committee and the House Committee on Commerce Protection. Executive Committee Members were asked to thank our
legislators for supporting the
bills.
Program Review
Process: Suzette Robinson
Suzette distributed copies of the MCC Budget
Process/Relationships Overview and noted where program reviews fit into the
process. She also distributed a list of
2004-2005 review team members as well as the Comprehensive Program Review Teams
Timeline. Accounting, Nursing, and OCET
have completed their comprehensive program review process and reports from the
assessment coordinator, review
teams, and Campus Executive adhoc committee have been
submitted to the Dean of Instruction’s
office. OCET is the only program area
that has a budget recommendation. It is
being recommended that an auditor come in to look
specifically at OCET’s programs, their process and
reconciliation of accounts. Two instructional special and revolving accounts
may also be included in the audit
.
Campus
Reorganization: Dan Kruse
The Academic Senate has forwarded two proposals to the Dean of
Instruction. A committee will be formed
from administrators and faculty to come up
with a final proposal to bring
back to the Academic Senate and
the Chancellor’s Executive Committee. A
committee of no more than eight people will be formed to select a
proposal. Committee members will be
selected from a list submitted by the ad hoc committee of the Senate. Others may be asked to
participate as reference people. The
committee should be getting their recommendation back to the
Academic Senate in April.
Questions on system reorganization can be asked of Interim
President David McClain at the campus-wide meeting this afternoon at 2:00-3:00 p.m.
CIP: David Tamanaha
The Governor released $225,000 to allow us to finish
the design of the Student Center Building; we are
back on schedule again. $300,000 for the
Science Building has not
been released; however, the request is in the Governor’s office. The House passed 3.5 million dollars support
for the second phase of our Student Center building.
MCC Website
A concern was expressed as to how links
connected to different services. The primary purpose of the website is to attract
prospective students, informing them how to apply and
how to get financial aid. The plan is to simplify
navigation by eliminating most of the pop ups and having each menu be
clickable. Each will have an overview
page. My UH Portal is located on the
upper right hand corner of the home page.
Logo will be added to make MY
UH Portal more noticeable.
A question was raised on what process was used to determine
the purpose of web page. There is a need to also look
at other issues, e.g. how are
faculty/staff going to find
documents. Eryck
is looking into software on managing
documents. Eryck,
Dan and others interested will get together to create a
sequence of priorities. Suggestions can
also be emailed to Eryck. Eryck will also present monthly reports to the
Chancellor’s Executive Committee. Other
items were noted: Steve George will
update the Leave of Absence form, Jennifer Sim has
been working on making Human Resources forms fillable,
International website will be in different languages.
Mayor’s
Proposal
Some Council members have already been contacted regarding
support for the Mayor’s proposal to provide
seed money to support additional
baccalaureate programs at MCC. flo will lead a group that will refine details of the
Baccalaureate plan. We may have to make
presentations at budget hearings. Clyde received
feedback that the
council is supportive of initiatives in education, health, and social work that
reinforces connection between County and community needs
Mayor will be announcing at his budget press conference on
March 15 at 8:30 a.m..
Decisions Maui has gone to the Mayor
requesting $50,000 for a leadership initiative project. The Mayor recommended that their request be
included with MCC’s request. Carolyn Tananka,
Acting Executive VP of Community Relations and Steve Williams, Executive Vice
President of First Hawaiian Bank, will be assisting with our marketing efforts. Steve’s lead marketing person will be working
with MCC to show economic impact of
education on Maui.
They will help deliver that message.
Next Week
NSF national visiting committee will be here the week of March 14, 2005.
CCCM’s
flo is working with system committee to develop CCCMs Guidelines to develop CCCMs were to be based
on present structure. However, because
the UH system is in the midst of reorganization discussions, nothing concrete
will be done until decisions have been made. .
Board of
Regents
Schedule of BOR activities on Maui was
distributed to members. Colleen will email committee members,
informing them as to the times
for the open sessions.
Campus

Vinnie reported back to Academic
Senate subgroups on open forums. This seems very vague.
Lahaina Ed Center

proceeding nicely. It is projected to be done
in time for summer session. Dedication
is being planned for May. There was a concern
expressed over whether we will have furniture and equipment. Requisitions have been coming through for
purchases.
