The purpose of today’s discussion is to thoroughly introduce and prepare the Senate for Fall 2025 deliberations. The Senate has spent many years in the past developing recommendations for updating the faculty hiring policy and procedure. Dr. Garcia was first forwarded the Senate’s most recent procedural recommendations on 13 March 2023. The District’s response was received by the Academic Senate Executive Committee (ASEC) on 30 January 2025.As per SRJC board policy AP2410, revision and reconciliation of the Senate’s recommendations with the District suggested practices was initiated in Spring 2025 (as lead by President Stover and Vice President Ohkubo). The current draft reflects the “in progress” nature of the work to date. Feedback received today will be incorporated in the continuing AP2410 related work in preparation for formal deliberation of the Academic Senate in Fall 2025.

ACTION (4:00 – 4:30): Items must come from the Discussion agenda of a previous meeting or be carried over from a previous Action agenda.

Meeting the Five Year Senate Area Apportionment Cycle Requirement (overdue) as per ARTICLE VIII, Section 5 of the bylaws: “Representation will be reviewed every five years by the Senate for apportionment reconsideration.” (15 min)

Special note: This topic first appeared on our agenda on 4 Sept 2024, and has, in one form or another, consistently been on our agendas and/or requiring action of the body/taskforce/ASEC ever since. In addition, we discussed the taskforce recommendations on 2/19, 3/05, & 4/02 (was also agendized 2/05, and was an Action Item on 4/16 and again today). The Academic Senate Executive Committee has approved these UPDATED recommended votes should the body wish to continue to act:

First Recommended Vote – Add New Associate Area (14) and reassign, with Senators’ consultation, so there are two associate senators per areas 12, 13, & 14 (including ~400 faculty per area / ~200 per senator) and including the creation of department specific lists organizing associate faculty by department.

Second Recommended Vote – Leave Contract Apportionment the same – make no change.

Third Vote Options (necessary if Second Vote is “No”)

Rearrange areas to make populations approximately equal; leave number of senators per area unchanged, and; use Mostly Even Distrubution including consultation with/outreach to departments to implement.

Rearrange areas placing departments with similar disciplines/interests in the same area, then apportion senators using the Huntington-Hill Method [Senate Taskforce’s Primary Recommendation].

Pro: This recommendation addresses proportionality of representation and greater alignment of departments with shared interests.

Con: This will require greater commitment from the senate to gather input from constituents to identify the new areas..

Consider other remaining Recommendations of the Senate Taskforce:

[Option 1] Leave areas as they are and reapportion senators so that representation is more proportional to the number of faculty in each area.

Pros: Easy. Makes representation more proportional. Establishes an apportionment procedure that could be used for future reapportionments.

Cons: Leaves unrelated disciplines in same areas; constituents may not feel represented.

[Option 2] Rearrange areas placing departments with similar disciplines/interests in the same area, then apportion senators.

Pros: Makes representation more proportional. Establishes an apportionment procedure that could be used for future reapportionments. Increased alignment of areas by interests; easier for senators to represent constituents.

Cons: Could be di icult to formulate new areas. Additional rearrangements may be necessary if new departments are added, or departments consolidated.

[Option 3] Rearrange areas to make populations approximately equal; leave number of senators per area unchanged.

Pros: Makes representation more proportional.

Cons: Produces areas representing very unrelated departments; constituents may not feel represented. Over time, as the number of faculty in each department changes, additional rearrangements will be necessary.

Proposed SLO Updated Rubric (5 min)

Does the Academic Senate recommend the adoption of the SLO Rubric Revision as proposed?

Senate Budget Overview and Management (5 min)

The Senate may consider tabling this Action item until August 20, 2025 and as supported by ASEC’s summer retreat and development work (see also current President’s Report).

What is the will of the Senate in terms of overall management and fiscal sustainability of our (very small) budget? Budgets of the past have supported limited engagement of Senators at statewide conferences, and fundraising efforts have been uneven. Questions have been raised by Senators regarding funding mechanisms and whether other CCC Academic Senates are funded (in part, in full) by their Districts? The other potential aspect of this question is the PRPP process and budgetary planning associated with the District?

BREAK (4:30 – 4:35 pm)

DISCUSSION (4:35 – 4:45 pm)

AP 7120A Faculty Hiring Administrative Procedure (1st Introduction for Fa25) (10 min)

The Academic Senate Executive Committee has approved these PROPOSED VOTES SHOULD THE BODY WISH TO IMMEDIATELY MOVE TO ACTION:

First Vote – Add Associates email addresses to Contract Distribution Lists for purposes of dispersing Senator notes to all faculty in each contract area (note: does NOT affect Area Representation and is ONLY for broader inclusion in Contract Senators’ communication to their area constituents)

Second Vote – Add New Associate Area (14) so there are two associate senators per area and more EVEN-ish distribution across associate areas.

Third Vote – Leave Contract Apportionment the same – make no changes

Fourth Vote Options (necessary if Third Vote is “No” – can be taken in this order or we can entertain a motion to reorder)

Rearrange areas to make populations approximately equal; leave number of senators per area unchanged, and; use Mostly Even Distrubution including consultation with/outreach to departments to implement.

Rearrange areas placing departments with similar disciplines/interests in the same area, then apportion senators using the Huntington-Hill Method [Senate Taskforce’s Primary Recommendation].
