VI. OLD BUSINESS

A. CAMPUS ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE

The committee had completed its assigned charge from the last senate meeting. Joann Pell moved, and Betty Hufford seconded that President Reed present the committee's conclusions to the president as a faculty driven organizational plan.

Discussion ensued. Some objected to comparisons which showed GCC leaner than its sister colleges on administration. These objectors argued that Mesa and South should not serve as models. Others felt costs, particularly of the associate deans, were understated. Problems with the four dean system were cited. Most felt the deans were overworked but wondered what was to prevent a fourth dean from being assigned new responsibilities, thus, leaving the workload untouched. There was a motion to table. FAILED with Anttila, Brooker, DePippo, Kvaran, Moloso, and Petrowsky voting YES. The question was called. PASSED Anttila, Brooker, DePippo, Kvaran, Moloso, and Petrowsky voting NO. Pat Haas ABSTAINED.

The report would include the organizational chart and a cover letter. The chart would incorporate senate's changes, the most significant of which was a full dean (Dean Staten's line) rather than two associate deans. Senators would receive copies to review before the report was submitted.

B. DUAL ENROLLMENT COMMITTEE REPORT

Pam Joraanstad reported on some of the permutations of "dual"

enrollment that are in the works: a college center at the Glendale

Union district, open entry for ESL in the summer, off-site classes,

classes for would-be high school drop-outs.

C. COLLEGE PLAN

As charged by senate, this committee met once more. They decided to

limit the college plan to RFP issues. Visitor Fernando Camou

reported that chairs still had questions about the evaluation

process. Since the next chair elections are two years away, action

can be postponed until fall when any RFP changes may be in place.

D. CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION

Senators had previously passed four of five proposed changes

to the constitution with final language to be approved. Phil Moloso

moved, and Freddie Anttila seconded the language.

1. Ensuring the voting rights of the vice-president

and councilor, PASSED

Phil Moloso moved, and Betty Hufford seconded the language.

2. Allowing vacancies in the senate to be filled by

runners-up from the last election, PASSED

Phil Moloso moved, and Betty Hufford seconded the language.

3. Allowing for nonsenatorial representation to District

Faculty Association Executive Council, PASSED

NOTE: The current councilor at large is accorded full

senatorial rights.

Marilyn Hoffs moved, and Gay Garesche seconded the language

4. Correcting typos, specifying spring elections

by date rather than day, clarifying consecutive terms, PASSED

Senate moved by acclamation for a constitutional committee to

examine other issues over the summer. Pat Haas, Larry Bohlender,

and Jim Daugherty volunteered to help Phil with this charge.

E. BUDGET COMMITTEE REPORT

Gay Garesche brought forward a two page analysis of this year's

budget process. She moved, and Phil Moloso seconded that senate act on the conclusions of the report. This would entail having the

senate appoint all four faculty members on the committee, utilizing

accounting faculty, and grieving that the faculty president did not

receive a copy of the budget. PASSED.

F. AAUP CORRESPONDENCE

Marilyn Hoffs moved, and Betty Hufford seconded that the GCC Faculty

Senate President send a letter to the AZ AAUP and the National AAUP

to request that they take no action with respect to GCC without

local faculty senate consent.

Anttila said she had already written a letter to that effect.

Hoffs withdrew her motion.

VII. NEW BUSINESS

A. ELECTION OF OFFICERS

Carmela Arnoldt was elected secretary; Phil Moloso was

elected treasurer.

B. SUMMER SENATE REPRESENTATIVES

Freddie Anttila moved, and Phil Moloso seconded that the executive officers or their designees serve as representatives.

PASSED.

C. ZONE REPRESENTATION

Paul Gilletti urged senate to consider zone representation in

its examination of constitutional revision.

D. WEB PAGE

Paul Gilletti moved, and Jim Daugherty seconded approval of `

implementation of the senate web page. PASSED.

E. FACULTY STAFFING/BUDGET COMMITTEE

President Reed will bring his nominees to senate before the

October deadline. He hoped to incorporate the budget

committee's suggestions in his selection process.

F. DR. POLLACK'S QUESTIONS

Betty Hufford suggested this be the number one agenda item under

old business at the August senate meeting.

G. OPERATIONAL PLANNING TEAM Betty Hufford explained that the operational planning team will

select focal strategic issues for next year at its Friday meeting.

She distributed input surveys. Hufford (CWACC) and Daugherty `

(senate) are the faculty representatives and sought direction. Phil

Moloso moved, and Jim Daugherty seconded that the representatives

select 2-3 issues and report back to senate.

VIII. INFORMATION

A. CONSTITUTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

Betty Hufford asked that the practice of running for multiple offices be

examined with other constitutional changes.

B. NCA

Mike Petrowsky referenced a recent visit of Cecilia Lopez to GCC.

Representing NCA, Ms. Lopez encouraged a macro approach to institutional

effectiveness. Petrowsky wondered why GCC had been previously led in

a micro evaluation. It seemed that either the administration or NCA

may have misdirected efforts.

IX. NEXT MEETING

The next meeting will be held August 27 at 2:30 in the Council

Chambers.

X. ADJOURNMENT

The meeting was adjourned at 5:55 by acclamation.

Respectfully submitted,
