Executive Committee Meeting Minutes

Friday, May 27, 2005

8:30 a.m., Ka Lama 105

 

Present: Pat Adams, Scott Broadbent, Donna Brown, Kerry Holokai, Pam Hoopii, Nancy Johnson, Michele Katsutani, Suzette Robinson, Mona Stevenson, Alvin Tagamori, Dorothy Tolliver         

 

Clyde spoke briefly about contract and agreements, the President directed Vice President Gaines to clear 240 different kinds of contracts and agreements that will use MOA�s.  The ORS staff, as well as our own, has been moving that right along very expeditiously.

 

Program Review (Student Services)

MCC is using national standards regarding student services.  Everyone is doing annual reviews. This year admission and records, student housing, and student activities are scheduled for comprehensive reviews, which will be based on the national standards.  Comprehensive reviews are not yet done due to expectations that require every single standard that is in the student services-counseling department review to be addressed.  A baseline of all the standards needs to be established before the start point of production. Through the program review process the identification of standards may be prioritized.  In the next round when annual and comprehensive reviews are issued those standards may be worked on.  

 

Housing program review is to be done by the program review committee.  The committee was chaired by Wallette Pellegrino.  Members of the committee were Shane Payba and Dennis Tanga.   Their draft was just turned in.  The Executive Committee was asked to give three names of a sub committee that can validate what the program review committee has done. 

 

Student activities committee members Robin Klein, Devin Crowe, Bud Clark are still working on their report and completion is expected in a few weeks. 

 

Admissions and records self-study was not done; therefore, we are not in compliance with what we have submitted to ACCJC in terms of program review.   A letter has been sent along with a copy of the program review report to Steve, indicating that conference and review is being shifted to next year�s comprehensive review cycle, due September 30th, 2005. An annual program review should also be done and due today, May 27, 2005. 

 

All other departments have completed an annual program review, which can be viewed at Student Services.  The program review for financial aide and counseling were examined and discussed, a copy was passed around to committee members for review. 

 

An educational plan was discussed in detail on what students should take in order to fulfill their goals and interests here at MCC and then transfer properly.  Herb Coyle is working on the degree audit system that will allow students to �shop� for which college suits them best for their needs and to also assess us in our accountability and the achievement of our mission statement. 

 

Discussion was held on EOC and Counseling matters and clientele.  Michele Katsutani and Mona Stevenson will be getting back to Clyde in regards to the number of clientele that seek their departments� assistance.
