Call to order -2:50 p.m. Approval of Agenda -approved unanimously Approval of the Minutes from the last Senate Meeting (Dec. 13) -approved unanimously Intent to raise questions Responses to previous questions: -In response to the questions raised about the rising costs of student housing, Ed Lebioda, AVP for Student Affairs, responded as follows: Student housing is required to be a self support program. All expenses are to be paid from the revenue collected from room fees (students residing during the academic year) and summer conference fees (participants residing during the summer). Expenses include the bond payment which is based on the construction costs and finance fees, salaries (full-time staff, resident assistants, program assistants and desk staff), utilities, maintenance (facility and landscaping), furniture and programming to name a few. The Board of Trustees (BOT) also requires us to build a reserve fund for low enrollment years, capital improvements and future projects. The fees we charge the students are based on these factors. Unfortunately since we are new as a campus and in having housing we do not have facilities (rooms) which either have little or no bond payments due to offset other rooms with high bond payments. The rates we charge are set to be as low as possible yet provide the revenue required to meet the safety of our residents, our operating expenses and the BOT requirements. -In response to the questions raised about the leaf blowing, Deborah Wylie, AVP of OPC, responded as follows: 1. Q. Why do the leaves have to be picked up at all? Would it be possible to be more creative regarding the leaves and landscape; for example, deal with the leaves/landscaping every 10--14 days vs. every week. A. We have maintained a basic level of campus appearance for some time that has proven acceptable to most people in appearance. We also remove leaves to limit how many blow onto walking surfaces to limit trip hazards. 2. Q. Would it be possible to involve more persons with disabilities to do the work? A. 91Ƶ has a groundskeeping staff that are all full-time employees. We also use the CA Conservation Corps to assist with these tasks. In addition, we have a contract with the County WTP (Work Training Porgram) that brings supervised crews of developmentally disabled adults to campus daily to assist with grounds keeping. This group is funded from the OPC budget with General Funds on an annual contract. 3. Q. What it be possible to collect the leaves earlier in the morning (before classes start)? A. The grounds keepers work weekdays from 7am to 4pm. They work to complete each area at one time (mow, then remove). New questions -Hampton informed everyone that an agreement on Intellectual Property had been reached with the union and therefore the process for Indirect Cost Rates should now proceed. -Anderson would like to know if the items placed in recycle bins around campus are actually recycled. Also, can bigger cans for paper recycling be placed in the various copy rooms? -Frisch would like to know if the concerns regarding leaf blowing can be taken more seriously because it poses a serious problem when it comes to teaching. -J. Peters would like to know if the Bell Tower bells can be made to ring every hour instead of every 15 minutes so that they do not disrupt classes as often. -Wang has recently been informed that no vacant units will be held by University Glen for incoming faculty, she would like to know who made that decision and when. -Itkonen would like to know what the policy is regarding renting apartments to students in University Glen. Report from the Provost -There is a new enrollment target for Fall 06-07, it is 2350. We ask that you participate in Discover CI, scheduled on April 29, 2006, to help achieve the new goal. Students who have been accepted to the campus, but have not yet decided to enroll, will be invited to attend that day. -Last year the Senate approved four Mission Based Awards which will be awarded at the Honors Convocation this year. The policy calls for the Provost to appoint a committee to review the submissions, if you would like to participate in the selection process, please forward your name to Phyllis Williams. -A correction needs to be made to the Academic Master Plan which currently lists the B.A Chicano/Chicana Studies degree beginning in 2007, this degree will be moved to 2008 and the corrected Plan will be redistributed to everyone. -The President reminds everyone to be customer service oriented with all students. -Construction is scheduled to begin soon on the second phase of student housing.
