David distributed a spreadsheet showing summer 2005 revenue and target revenues for Fall 2005 and Spring 2006.� Target revenue for Fall 2005 is $1,413,943.� Revenues are at $1,443,036.� Admins are hoping to make allocations in September.� Deans and directors are being asked to create deficit plans and to identify how they plan to address the deficits as well as how we will be repaying our $250,000 loan.� We want to preserve and strengthen our instructional program.� Concern was expressed over the need for supplies.� If departments run into a bind for supplies, Foundation resources can be used.� Departments are asked to inform Clyde or the Foundation office of their supply needs. ���

 

The Community Forum is being rescheduled.� Suzette will have tentative dates for the Implementation Council review.� The Forum will influence faculty feedback, serve as basis for our Strategic Plan, and influence biennium budget priorities.� With the help of deans and directors, Clyde will draft a set of program review recommendations and conclusions.� We will then be identifying and refining strategic plan priorities.

 

�������� flo asked about the status of the Chief Academic Officers� recommendation to John Morton on the program review process.� Chancellors and John Morton have approached the Board of Regents to suggest that a Board committee be established to address specific community college issues beginning with orientation, moving to program review and going into budget preparation.� The committee will include a member each from Maui and Kauai, two from Big Island, and two from Honolulu.� John and Chancellors will meet with the Board committee to work out details on what the program review process will look like.� John is also developing the timeline for the biennium review process.� We will probably begin the process at the end of October or the start of November.�

 

Discussion on how we might be able to surface UHCC priorities as a system will be on our next UHCC Chancellors agenda.

 

Program review process is moving along.� Jeannie, Lynn and Suzette met to look at the recommendations that Lynn put together from last year.� Taking eight of these and putting them in priority order with projected funding attached to their needs.

 

Dan Kruse informed members that at the All Senate Chairs Council meeting Dan expressed whether or not we can get system support for data collection.� Much of our time is being spent on data collection rather than analysis.� System is working in this direction.
