Noah Brown, ACCT President and CEO SUBJECT: VOTING NOTIFICATION FOR ACCT LEADERSHIP CONGRESS According to our records, the board of Merced Community College District is entitled to 1 vote(s) during the Annual ACCT Leadership Congress, October 14-17, 2015 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel in San Diego, California. Your college should determine the voting delegate(s) and the alternate(s) for your institution. Eligibility requirements for voting delegate(s) include: Fiscal year 2016 ACCT membership dues must have been received and verified at the time of Congress registration.

A full elected term is three years. Directors serve staggered terms. At the Annual ACCT Congress, one director is elected from each of the five regions at the Regional Caucuses and Meetings, and three directors are elected at-large at the Senate meeting.

Candidates are listed above. Former At-large Director Kirsten Diederich from the North Dakota University System resigned from her board in January; Dawn Erlandson from Minnesota State Colleges and Universities was appointed as her replacement.

Page 47 ACCT ADVISOR FALL 2015 | 1 2015 Board Candidate Statements REGIONAL DIRECTOR CENTRAL REGION William Kelley Harper College, IL Stewardship over our community colleges is close to my heart. I want the same exceptional educational opportunity that was provided to me 40 years ago by Harper College to be available for our current and future students. I can think of no finer organization to channel my time, energy, and experience than ACCT to help achieve this goal. I am committed to championing community colleges, ensuring that high quality post-secondary education is accessible and affordable to everyone, adopting best practices to improve student success, and providing the best professional development opportunities available to the stewards of our community colleges. Serving on the ACCT Public Policy and Finance and Audit Committees has given me insight and a tremendous appreciation for the awesome work done by ACCT. Having participated in and received the benefit of outstanding seminars, conferences, and symposiums sponsored by ACCT, I would now like to take my commitment to a new level. NORTHEAST REGION Debra Borden Frederick Community College, MD I am writing to request your support to serve as a Northeast Regional Director for ACCT. This is both an exciting and perilous time for America’s community colleges. President Obama’s recent proposal to offer free community college tuition to anyone who is willing to work for it presents the most game-changing opportunity in the history of our community college movement. It is imperative that we meet the challenge 2 | www.acct.org of demonstrating that an investment in community colleges is, indeed, a means of ensuring economic prosperity and stability. I intend to use my experience as an active community college trustee, as well as my legal background, to foster this agenda through ACCT and to advocate for community colleges at the national level to ensure that we receive the support we need to meet the challenges ahead. We share a common goal. I hope to receive your support. PACIFIC REGION Emily Yim Edmonds Community College, WA Our state has a prestigious award for celebrating how our community college system has transformed the lives of students. It’s very competitive and hard to select when each story is so brave, powerful, and compelling. But it reminds us of the enormity of our responsibility to ALL students, our community, and nation. It inspires us to dream of all possibilities just like our students. The opportunity to be the first in my family to go to college has changed the trajectory of my life. And now as CEO of an educational organization, I get to help over a quarter million students graduate and be career- and college-ready every day. My educational opportunity has allowed me to serve as Trustee, State Association Board member, and now Secretary Treasurer on the Executive Committee of the ACCT Board of Directors. It would be an honor to continue to serve and help others transform their lives through education, as it has done for me. SOUTHERN REGION Randall Jackson Midlands Technical College, SC Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to work in a variety of positions: a counselor in a local Job Corps Center, a dean of student services, an associate pastor, a business owner, and a trustee on the Midlands Technical College Commission. In all of those positions I’ve experienced first-hand the value of the differences found in students, employees, colleges, and communities. I have more than 21 years of experience in higher education management and administration, and demonstrated community involvement in programs that target youth, college students, and young adults. I have provided active assistance to non-profit organizations, focusing on multicultural education and training, health, and governance. I have served as Chair of the ACCT Diversity Committee and I am currently the Southern Regional Chair for the ACCT Board of Directors. I would like to bring my life experiences to continue service with the Association of Community College Trustees as a member of the ACCT Board. I am fully committed to advancing the community college national agenda if re-elected to serve. WESTERN REGION Gerald Cook Johnson County Community College, KS I believe I am a viable candidate for an ACCT Board position representing the Western Region for several reasons. First, I am the current chair of the Johnson County Community College Board of Trustees in Overland Park, Kansas. I am completing my fifth year on the board. During this tenure I have served on the committees of Human Resources, Learning Quality, and Audit and Collegial Steering. I am active on our state association board (KACCT), currently serving as chairman. I also serve as the Kansas state coordinator for ACCT. I have over 20 years of public school experience in four states, having served as an elementary teacher, principal, superintendent, and graduate student. I have nearly ten years of experience in Page 48 private business, eight of which were with a national company operating in over 30 states. I am passionate about teaching and learning effectiveness at the community college level. DIRECTOR AT-LARGE Stephan Castellanos San Joaquin Delta Community College, CA The California Community Colleges are among the largest and most diverse systems in the United States. They are an essential component of California’s economic engine and improve the lives of many Californians. I am committed to removing barriers and improving access to our colleges. It is important to collaborate across systems, develop pathways to success and to ensure equity. Student success and equity initiatives are changing our colleges. However, without adequately prepared and educated Boards, success is slowed and limited. ACCT’s mission to create excellence in governance is critical as our systems face a demanding future. Effective trustees and boards are essential to effective advocacy. I have seen the power of education first hand. In a single generation, my family realized the American dream, each of us benefiting from our immigrant parents’ commitment to education. Let’s continue to build on that promise. My candidacy is endorsed by the Board of the Community College League of California, the statewide association of California’s 72 community college districts. Stanley Edwards Halifax Community College, NC Stanley Edwards currently serves on the ACCT Board of Directors and is completing his first full term.

He earned a B.S. degree at Livingstone College, an M.S. at A&T State University, and an Ed.D. degree at Nova Southeastern University. Dawn Erlandson Minnesota State Colleges & Universities, MN My story is like that of many of our students. The first in my extended family to attend college and raised by a single mother in Minnesota, I know that education, along with hard work, pays off. Like you, I am committed to ensuring that all people have access to an affordable, high-quality education. I was appointed in January to the ACCT Board, where I bring the perspective of a state system. I served as ACCT state coordinator and was elected to the Central Region Nominating Committee. Prior to my appointment as trustee, I served seven years on the foundation board of our state’s most diverse community college, two as chair. I own a communications and outreach consultancy, started two sustainability non-profits, and worked on Capitol Hill. I hope to bring my passion and experience to work for you and our students by continuing to serve. I ask for your vote. Bernie Rhinerson San Diego Community College District, CA Bernie Rhinerson joined the SDCCD Board of Trustees in 2012 and has participated in the ACCT Leadership Congress and National Legislative Summit each year. He has served for two years as a member of the ACCT Public Policy Committee.

Our HCC policies state “our students shall develop into citizens who welcome diversity and encourage tolerance.” Waterloo and HCC have a diverse minority population and HCC was awarded the 2013 Outstanding Community College Diversity/Equity Award by IACCT. My background, education, and experience would make me a valued member of the ACCT Diversity Committee. NORTHEAST REGION Warren Hayman The Community College of Baltimore County, MD My entire educational career has been devoted to excellence and equity for the underserved. My passion for diversity is evidenced in my involvement with and commitment to urban students and their communities. I will bring to the diversity committee the knowledge, skills, and disposition necessary to be an advocate for diversity in practice, participation, and leadership in ACCT. As an Associate member of the ACCT Diversity Committee, I have been very outspoken on issues related to diversity. If I am elected, I will continue to be an active participant and make important contributions. DIVERSITY COMMITTEE CENTRAL REGION Jay Nardini Hawkeye Community College, IA As an elected trustee of Hawkeye Community College (HCC) in Waterloo, Iowa, in my service as our Board’s Representative to the Iowa Association of Community College Trustees (IACCT) in Des Moines, Iowa, and as a practicing attorney for the last 40 years, I am well aware of the need to promote awareness and educational opportunities for underrepresented populations. I am a strong believer in community college education and promoting acceptance and respect for PACIFIC REGION Judy Chen Haggerty Mt. San Antonio College, CA During my 14 years on the Mt. SAC board and as a law professor at Rio Hondo College, and through 30 years of community service, I have had hands-on working experience with underrepresented populations and have developed a heartfelt understanding of the need for diversity. My leadership role in national and statewide projects advocating for diversity in the Community College system includes being a founding member of the Asian Pacific Islander (API) Caucus, six years working on CLASS Initiative for Student Success, a longtime member Page 50 of the League’s Advisory Committee on Educational Services, and serving on the ACCT Charles Kennedy Equity Awards Committee in 2012 and 2013. As an individual with API background, I am committed to promoting respect and educational opportunity for underrepresented populations. My candidacy is endorsed by the Trustees Board of the Community College League of California, the statewide association of California’s 72 community college districts. John Marquez Contra Costa Community College District, CA John Márquez is an alumnus of Contra Costa College (CCC) and San Francisco State University where he obtained his associate and bachelor’s degrees, respectively. A veteran and beneficiary of the GI Bill and CCC student in 1970, he established his calling for activism and support of the underrepresented as co-founder of the La Raza Studies Department and has been a voice for the underserved ever since. Mr. Márquez’s background includes teaching part-time at the community college level for many years, holding numerous positions within the California Department of Industrial Relations, and currently serving as a certified Spanish/ English interpreter. Mr. Márquez was the first elected Latino on the Richmond, California City Council and has served on the Contra Costa CCD Governing Board since 2010. His candidacy is endorsed by the California Community College Trustees Board of the Community College League of California, the statewide association of California’s 72 community college district. Michael Pasquale Yuba Community College District, CA Michael Pasquale was first elected to the Yuba Community College District board in 2012. In 2014 he was elected as Clerk; in 2015 he was elected as Vice President. Trustee Pasquale holds a BA in Fine Arts from CSU, Chico and an AS Degree from Yuba College, Marysville.

His candidacy is endorsed by the California Community College Trustees Board of the Community College League of California. Tessa James Scheller Clatsop Community College, OR I value and support the recognition of a diverse community college population and opportunities that can strengthen links to minority members. I have been a Clatsop Community College Trustee since 2010. During that time I “came out” as a transgender person. I serve on our college diversity committee and am involved with local environmental and social justice groups. I am a retired Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) and serve on the ACCT Diversity Committee (associate) and as the patient representative for the Kaiser Health system Transgender Team. Minority people are making social and policy progress, but we are underrepresented at many levels of governance. I believe my service could assist in providing “member input” and by “recommending strategies” the ACCT Diversity Committee charter calls for. Not a single issue candidate, I recognize that racism, oppression, and injustice harm everyone. I am a lifelong community activist and work to promote equity for all. WESTERN REGION Jimmy Sandoval Mesalands community College, NM I have been actively involved in my community as an elected City Commissioner and have served on the Board of Trustees for Mesalands Community College in Tucumcari, New Mexico for 21 years. I have always been interested in helping our people achieve the dream of equality through education. Today I see not only many Hispanic children but children of all cultures being passed over by society because of the lack of education and inspirations. The challenge we face with diversity today is in educating everyone, not just minorities, to function in a diverse environment which gives us opportunities to learn about others’ backgrounds and experiences as well as grow as individuals. Through education, we can be assured that our communities will be more productive and respectful of the unique differences we each possess. Diversity is our strength! Carlton Underwood Central Wyoming College, WY In November 2012, I was elected to serve as the representative from the Reservation Sub-district to the Board of Trustees for Central Wyoming College. As a member of the Board of Trustees, I have assisted in the efforts to create education charters for both tribes of the reservation to focus on increasing retention, completion, and graduation rates of Native American students. I know from experience that Native American students are truly the minority when it comes to higher education settings. Knowing that their tribe has taken an approach to assist in their journey through higher education definitely provides support for their efforts. As a commitment to diversity it is my hope that Native American students empower themselves to become successful individuals and citizens that can adapt to living within two worlds: a constantly and rapidly changing world, and one of cultural awareness and tradition.

In general, the primary authorized bank account of the District is the cash held in the county treasury. The Board of Governors recognizes that sound fiscal practice may require the use of additional separate bank accounts. The District does maintain several of these accounts in Farmers and Merchant Bank that are within the guidelines set out by the Chancellor’s Office in the Budget and Accounting Manual. These accounts do exceed the FDIC levels but as governmental entity our deposits are fully collateralized and therefore not at risk. A list of accounts is included in the attachment. Recommendation/Requested Action It is recommended that the Board of Trustees confirm the continuing need for the bank accounts as shown in the attachment.

The Financial Aid Office has worked tirelessly to meet the challenges of ever changing regulations often with guidance that comes after the regulation effective date. In addition, these complex regulations are met with a student applicant pool that has more than tripled. Financial Aid Advisors have been required to not only maintain a previous standard of knowledge about Federal and State taxes, assets, tax deferred pensions, retirement savings, and family financial situations of all kinds and their impact on student financial aid, but they also have had to continually become more and more knowledgeable of variety topics. Documents pertaining to citizenship, Deferred Action, residency status (AB 540, AB 2000, DACA), proper documentation for identity, High School graduation or the equivalency, and child support are but a few of the ever changing requirements they must understand and apply correctly to a student’s application. The complexity, varying knowledge, and need to apply individual judgment to each student application has changed so dramatically from the last time the Financial Aid Advisor position range was upgraded. The Financial Aid Office turnover is a continual issue and a concern that significantly impacts our service to students. In the past nine years the Financial Aid Office has lost five Financial Aid Advisors to a local university that offers a much higher starting wage for this position. This type of movement has a huge impact on the ability to adequately serve the increasing number of students applying for financial aid. In an effort to increase the service and quality of work in the Financial Aid office it is critical that we are able hire and retain good employees. Recommended Action It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the Financial Aid Reorganization. Attachment(s) Financial Aid Reclassification/Reorganization (rationale) Page 70 Financial Aid Reclassification Plan History When the position of Financial Aid Lead Technician was created in September 2003 to begin compliance with R2T4 (Return to Title IV funds), the Financial Aid Office was operating under an old model of service delivery. The old model was less staff intensive and resulted in a slower and less efficient delivery of aid to students. The Financial Aid Lead Technician position was created under a reorganization of both the Financial Aid and Admissions and Records area when the Registrar was given additional duties of Financial Aid Director on a full-time basis. At that time, the Coordinator (Diana Butts) was also re-classified. However, all other positions within the FA office have remained unchanged (at the same range since 1994) with the exception of two positions during a Phase I “Mini” Re-organization. Summary of Phase I “Mini” Re-organization – COMPLETED/IMPLEMENTED Summer 2013 When Phase I of the reorganization proposal was implemented, two additional positions were upgraded. These were immediate and necessary changes since the scope of work in remaining compliant with complex regulatory and audit requirements had changed immensely. In this phase, two Financial Aid Advisor positions were re-classified to the following: FINANCIAL AID TECHNICIAN– Federal/State Compliance - performs complex specialized clerical duties in the provision of financial aid services involving federal and state compliance issues. FINANCIAL AID WORKSTUDY COORDINATOR – coordinates Federal work-study program and all student employment. Ensures compliance with Federal and State regulations as they apply to student employment. Other areas of responsibility include, Return of Title IV compliance, and Foster Youth Liaison. Rationale for Phase II-synopsis More regulatory changes in the past 8 years Financial Aid Advisors’ required knowledge base has increased Financial Aid Advisors are required to apply independent judgment to each student’s application correctly adhering to changing Federal and State regulations Financial Aid Advisors must apply differing sets of regulations to a student’s application when they are awarding two different years at the same time Financial Aid staff are required to adapt to and learn changing technologies both locally and at government sites on the web required in the delivery of Federal and State Financial Aid FA Reorganization Phase II Page 1 Page 71 Serving a larger and more diverse population Turnover and loss of valued, trained Advisors is a huge issue not only in the ability to serve students as in the past, but it impedes our ability to expand online and more streamlined processes Disparity of duties and responsibilities and related pay ranges of other positions on campus Rationale for Phase II - detail In the last 8 years Financial Aid has experienced more program and regulatory changes than ever before. The Financial Aid Office has worked tirelessly to meet the challenges of ever changing regulations often with guidance that comes after the regulation effective date. In addition, these complex regulations are met with a student applicant pool that has more than tripled. Financial Aid Advisors have been required to not only maintain a previous standard of knowledge about Federal and State taxes, assets, tax deferred pensions, retirement savings, and family financial situations of all kinds and their impact on student financial aid, but they also have had to continually become more and more knowledgeable of variety topics. Documents pertaining to citizenship, Deferred Action, residency status (AB 540, AB 2000, DACA), proper documentation for identity, High School graduation or the equivalency, and child support are but a few of the ever changing requirements they must understand and apply correctly to a student’s application. The complexity, varying knowledge and need to apply individual judgment to each student application has changed so dramatically from the last time the Financial Aid Advisor position range was upgraded. This along with the technology requirements that have come along since 1994, make the financial aid field much more involved than ever before. In addition, Financial Aid staff are now serving a larger and more diverse population. With the Dream Act an entirely different set of regulations and procedures must be applied when applying and awarding. Some Advisors are assigned specific grant programs or populations to coordinate awarding. All Financial Aid Advisors are trained to assist students with each program. This alone is a daunting task given the changing requirements based upon regulations and the fact that most of the year they are working on files from two different award years at the same time. Two simultaneous award years necessitate applying differing regulations to each year while working with the same student. Training and experience in the position are essential for our model of service delivery that provides students with immediate feedback and assistance with completing their application for all eligible aid. We strive to complete a student’s award package with a student needing to come to the FA Office only one time. The Financial Aid Office has not been staffed with fully trained Advisors for any length of time for quite a while. Turnover is a continual issue and a concern that significantly impacts our service to students. In the past nine years the Financial Aid Office has lost five Financial Aid Advisors to UC Merced. UC Merced provides a much higher starting wage for Financial Aid Advisors and other Student Services positions. Our most recent loss is an employee who has worked with us for two years. The starting salary she was offered at UC Merced is $17,000 per year higher than what she received here FA Reorganization Phase II Page 2 Page 72 after two years as a Financial Aid Advisor. In the past five years, we have lost many of our trained FA Advisors. Last year alone we replaced three Advisor positions for staff that either took other less demanding positions on campus or left to work at UC Merced. This type of movement has a huge impact on the ability to adequately serve the increasing number of students applying for financial aid. In an effort to increase the service and quality of work in the Financial Aid office it is critical that we are able hire and retain good employees. Reorganization Proposal- Phase II 1.

Vice President for Policy and Research Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges 10 Commerce Boulevard, Suite 204 Burlingame CA 94949 Dear Dr. Johns: Please accept this as Merced College’s response to the ACCJC letter of August 13, 2015, requesting additional information and notifying Merced College of notice of enhanced monitoring. We appreciate the high level of concern expressed by ACCJC in regard to issues raised by Merced College’s 2015 annual report. Your letter encouraged the faculty administration, and staff of the college to actively work to improve assessment. We developed sustainable strategies and processes to improve participation in student learning outcome assessment and support sustainable quality improvement. Institution Set Standards / Fire Academy: Provide the ISS and explain how the definition and level of performance for the standard determined. Provide the number of students who completed the program in 2013-14 and 2012-13. The Fire Academy through Merced College is designed to meet the requirements for eventual certification as California State Fire Marshal Firefighter I. The State Fire Marshal’s Office determines the didactic and manipulative tasks the prospective candidate must be able to pass and demonstrate, and the amount of time each of those components will take to accomplish or to demonstrate proficiency. Each of these tasks are taught by an instructor who is qualified by the State Fire Marshal’s Office. As these tasks and lessons are accomplished, students are “signed off” and eventually complete a “task book”. By California regulations, the student must receive a request for certification to the State Fire Marshal’s Office from a Fire Chief. The person seeking the Firefighter I certificate can only receive the Fire Chief’s signature and request when he Page 81 2 or she has completed six months as a full time professional firefighter, or, one year as a volunteer firefighter. Merced College does not give them a certification - we cannot. We provide them the means to receive all the training for completing their task book; they must receive time “on the job” prior to requesting certification from their employing agency. Year # Students Completion Enrolled Finished 2011-12 22 19 86% 2012-13 24 19 79% 2013-14 18 10 56% 2014-15 20 16 80% Average 75% Table 1 Based on these completion rates, if an Institutional set standard for completion of the Firefighter Academy at Merced College is needed, 75% completion would be appropriate. Student Learning Outcomes Practice Recommended evaluation related to SLO assessment. As to the courses reported in the 2015 Annual Report without ongoing assessment, we recommend you consider and evaluate: The list of courses sorted by discipline or program. Professor Julie Clark, the chair of Merced College’s Curriculum Committee, working with Curriculum Committee representatives of college cohorts, developed and evaluated a list of all Merced College courses, sorted by program. Courses were then identified and evaluated relative to their status as a currently offered / active course in the Page 82 3 curriculum. Based on this review and collaborative evaluation, the Chancellor’s Office inventory of Merced College courses was reviewed, and revised to more closely identify current courses offered. This update resulted in 1,058 fewer courses, a reduction of 44.7%. We will continue to update the inventory through the 2015-16 academic year. 8/26/2015 9/28/2015 Change 2366 1308 -44.7% Total Number of Active Courses Table 2 A list for programs for which 40% or more of the included courses are without ongoing assessment. Professor Edward Modafferi, chair of the Merced College Assessment Review Committee (ARC), working collaboratively with the Instructional Program Review and Student Learning Outcome Assessment Committee (IPRSLOAC), reviewed and crosswalked all courses included in instructional program reviews. There are no programs for which 40% or more of the included courses are without ongoing assessment. (See Appendix A) Information about whether the disciplines / programs that have classes without ongoing assessment participate in program review, how the college evaluated the discipline’s program’s participation in ongoing assessment, and what impact the level of ongoing assessment had on resource e allocation. Merced College has an ongoing assessment process that is fulfilled by IPRSLOAC, faculty Cohort Assessment Trainers (CATs), and ARC. All SLO assessments and program reviews are reviewed by faculty members through this established process. Page 83 4 We can report that instructional disciplines and programs not completing program review are not considered for resource allocation. We can also report that a more robust system of review has been developed as a result of district-wide collaborations. These changes will be discussed in more detail in the section of this letter devoted to strategies for continuous sustainable quality improvement. Any other information the institution has found pertinent concerning its own evaluation of the courses and programs for which there is no ongoing assessment of student learning outcomes. In the past Merced College has measured the degree of SLO compliance by calculating the proportion of courses assessed. This calculation involved dividing the total number of SLO assessment reports submitted annually by the number of annual course offering: Previous formula for % of courses assessed total # of SLO assessment reports ÷ # of annual course offerings It is important to note that course name changes, in-activations, cancelations, zerocapped courses, and in some cases unoffered courses were included in the data. This resulted in an inflated denominator which consistently yielded annual SLO assessment rates ranging from 60% to 64%, a gross underestimate of the actual assessment rate. With the turnover of the Merced College SLO assessment leadership this underestimate was recognized and a new method of calculating SLO compliance has been put into place. Using this new method we have determined that 95% of courses offered within the 2010-2015 timeframe have been assessed at least one time. Additionally, 30% of courses have demonstrated ongoing continuous assessment as measured by two or more SLO reports being submitted within the same timeframe (Table 3). These new data reflect a 33% increase in SLO submission and compliance. Page 84 5 Merced College % of courses that have been assessed in the last 5 years % of courses with ongoing assessment (2X) 95% 30% Table 3 The dramatic increase observed in SLO compliance is the result modifying four factors used in previous analyses of SLO reporting. These changes are summarized in Table 4 below. Changes in SLO Compliance Calculations and Reporting Time frame The period from 2010-2015 was defined as our survey period. In any given year only a fraction of Merced College courses are offered and as a result only a fraction of courses are available for assessment during that year. With this in mind it is necessary to observe a larger span of time to allow all courses to be offered and submit an assessment. Variable definition Total assessable courses = the total number of courses offered – (the number of canceled courses + the number of zero-capped courses + and the number of courses on pending status). % Courses assessed =Total number of assessments turned in/Total assessable courses Refined our SLO submission - Reinforced that each offered course must submit two SLO assessments within a five-year time frame. -All new courses must be assessed the first time they are taught. process -CurricUNET is no longer used for assessment. Merced College faculty Recording developed new forms that utilize the software Infopath and Sharepoint to and storing report and house all assessments on our new assessment web site. All SLO forms are web based and assessments will be available for all faculty to assessments view following their submission. Table 4. Page 85 6 Ongoing Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Merced College has taken steps to address potential concerns indicated in the letter. Course outlines of record are current and all contain student learning outcomes. Syllabi for every course are provided to the program secretary every semester. Deans checked and verified that every syllabi this semester contained SLOs consistent with those in the current course outline of record. Course sequencing and scheduling decisions are made to provide the best support to students for retention and success. Instructional deans will provide sequencing information for every program by March 15, 2016 for the 2016-17 catalog. The Merced College Catalog program information was reviewed to verify accuracy and changes in curriculum this year will be included in next year’s catalog. Resource allocations are made through the planning and budgeting process at Merced College. Requests for resource allocations must come from program reviews and are considered and placed in priority order every year, not rolled over year to year. Merced College uses data when presenting information about the quality of every program at Merced College. Strategies for enhancing student learning outcomes assessment and program review practices. The efforts to investigate and understand the student learning outcome assessment and program review practices at Merced College revealed places where change in strategies and practices would improve participation rates of faculty, increase dialogue among and across disciplines, and enhance evaluation of SLOs and program reviews. Fueled by a real determination to make a difference in the assessment culture at Merced College, and inspired by the efforts of key faculty leaders, the following Page 86 7 strategies were implemented by shared governance and operation committees and by administrators: The student learning outcome assessment process was made more accessible. The program review process was evaluated and significant changes were approved by the Academic Senate. The responsibilities of the CATs were reviewed and updated through collaboration between the Academic Senate and the faculty union and were subsequently approval by the Academic Senate. A rubric by which faculty could self-assess their SLO assessments was developed and implemented. A rubric by which the CATs could assess student learning outcome assessments was developed and implemented. A rubric by which CATs could assess program reviews was developed and will be implemented in the next round of program review submission in 2016. A rubric by which instructional deans and directors could assess program reviews was developed and will be implemented in the next round of program review submission in 2016. Changes to the program review cycle more closely aligning submission and evaluation of the reviews to the resource allocation process has been proposed. Web accessible forms were developed for student learning outcome assessment and program review and made available on the Merced College Assessment web site. Current student learning outcomes were validated in every syllabi for Fall 2015 and will be validated on an ongoing basis beginning with this semester. Faculty training for assessment has been prioritized. o A mandatory General Education Learning Outcome Assessment Training Day was held May 8, 2015. GELO assessment strategies were developed that day. o Drop-in sessions with SLO coordinators was held every Friday afternoon in the Library Instruction Room. Page 87 8 o The IPRSLOAC newsletter, the SLOdown, is published bi-annually updating instructional faculty on changes in the SLO assessment process, updates on the GE program assessment from ARC, and highlighting assessment success stories on campus. o A mandatory Outcome Assessment Training was held October 2, 2015. The new student learning outcome assessment process was presented and the proposed new program review process was discussed. o The administrative policy concerning the use of Flex Days is in the process of being revised to include a second mandatory Flex Day dedicated to training in assessment practices. o Consequences for failure to do student learning outcome assessment and program review have been implemented in the resource allocation and travel policies of the college. In Summary Thank you for bringing your concerns to the attention of Merced College. They helped fuel the passion as well as direct the energy of the faculty, staff, and administration who have been committed to fostering a positive change in the student learning outcome assessment and program review culture of the college. Review of practices and dialogue at all levels helped inform the institution about the serious gaps in assessment at Merced College, Great efforts were made to train faculty on student learning outcome assessment using a more accessible process. Great efforts were made to perform student learning outcome assessment. Great efforts were made to research and document the real state of courses, programs, and assessment. Dialogue and cross-discipline collaboration occurred. Practices were changed. Consequences were developed and implemented. Merced College’s overall institutional effectiveness has been improved as a result.

Monitor key performance indicators (dashboards?). Expect to receive a limited set (3‐5) of clear priorities to improve student success (annual cycle). Effective Boards Ask the tough questions about progress on student success. Create the culture within which the CEO can engage in needed courageous conversations. Approve the allocation/relocation of resources to support the student success agenda. Expect a relentless focus on the student success agenda.

Student Success‐Minded Governing Boards… 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Analyze student success data for low‐income students, by ethnic group, and ask what strategies are in place for addressing the gaps. Have a solid understanding of the many social, psychological, logistical and economic obstacles that low‐income students must overcome to pursue higher education. Are aware of how unconscious/implicit bias may affect teaching, learning and services to low income and students of color, as well as their hiring. Recognize that addressing the issues that low‐income and minority students face often requires an institutional culture change and a multi‐ faceted approach, which may affect various areas of the college, including financial aid administration, faculty, advising, student success/orientation courses etc. Approve policies for the college that will facilitate student success for low income students and thus greater social mobility and economic stability for this group.

Questioning three aspects of Student Success‐Minded Governing Boards 3. Are aware of how unconscious/implicit bias may affect teaching, learning and services to low income and students of color, as well as their hiring. Does the use of language in informal dialogue among staff/trustees affirm student’s strengths and reflect high expectations and thus focus on enabling change versus perceived short‐comings of students?

Recognize that addressing the issues that low‐income and minority students face often requires an institutional culture change and a multi‐faceted approach, which may affect various areas of the college, including financial aid administration, faculty, advising, student success/orientation courses etc. Do you allow your administration to take risks and fail? Do you allow administration to scale successful interventions? Do you embrace responsibility to encourage and motivate all constituencies?

Before a student is granted a formal grievance review, he/she shall submit a Student Petition for Grievance Review and/or Hearing to the Dean of Student Services, who will review the petition to determine if a grievable act has occurred in accordance with the Administrative Procedure. Before a student is granted a formal grievance review, the written complaint, or grievance, is reviewed by the Dean of Student Services to determine if a grievable act has occurred in accordance with this Administrative Procedure. Page 121 In order for the grievance to proceed to a Grievance Hearing Committee, the Dean must find that the grievance alleges that an instructor, an administrator, a member of the classified staff, or a fellow student committed one or more of the following acts: 1.

The rebuttal and five (5) copies must reach the Dean of Student Services the day before the scheduled determination. If the Dean finds that the grievance alleges an act other than the above, the following may occur: 1. The request for a grievance hearing may be rejected because the grievance does not allege a grievable act as defined by the Administrative Procedure. 2. The student may be asked to revise the Statement of Student Grievance to restate the facts to identify a grievable act as defined by the Administrative Procedure. If the grievance is rejected: If the grievance is rejected by the Dean of Students Student Services, the student may appeal in writing to the Vice President of Student PersonnelServices, who will review the appeal within ten (10) instructional days and will seek the advice of representatives of the Faculty Academic Senate and Associated Students of Merced College. No further appeals are possible. If the grievance is approved: If the Dean of Students Student Services finds that the grievance alleges a grievable act as defined by the Administrative Procedure, the Dean will forward the grievance to the Vice President of Student PersonnelServices. Page 122 If the grievance must be revised: If the student is requested to revise the Statement of Grievance by the Dean of StudentsStudent Services, he or she must refile with the Dean of Students Student Services within ten (10) instructional days of receipt of the request. The student should note that this is a revision at the top of the Statement of Grievance form.

A copy of each written statement will be forwarded to each party to the grievance. A witness statement form is included in the grievance packet. (c) The burden shall be on the person filing the grievance to prove by a preponderance of the evidence (i.e. more likely than not) that the facts alleged are true and that his or her grievance should be sustained. (d) Each party to the grievance shall represent him or herself and shall also have the right to be represented by a person of their choice. The Committee may request that legal counsel advise the Committee as to procedural and legal matters related to the review, but no legal counsel shall be a member of the Committee nor be permitted to sit with the Committee during deliberations.

These two items are reporting requirements and are brought to the Board for information. Space Inventory: The California Community College Space Inventory provides planning and management data about existing physical facilities. The uses and the applications of the space inventory are: An integral part of the annual Five-Year Construction Plan (EC Section 81821); assignment and control of college campus space; analyses space utilization; projects future facility needs; project planning for capital outlay construction; and development and maintenance of facility allocation and utilization standards and guidelines. All changes to the space inventory report are approved through the Facilities Master Planning Committee. This report was reviewed at the October 9, 2015 meeting. A summary of the Space Inventory Report is attached for the board’s review. The Space Inventory is a California Education Code requirement and is due to the Chancellor’s Office October 16, 2015. Energy Usage Data: Pursuant to the Board of Governors Energy and Sustainability Policy, state energy efficiency incentives will be made available to qualifying districts to help offset costs in proposed state funded capital outlay projects. To qualify for these incentives, the District is required to report natural gas and electricity usage data on an annual basis. The report is attached for the boards review. The calculation is due to the Chancellor’s Office on October 30, 2015. Recommended/Requested Action This update is presented as information.

Enter your electric and gas usage for 2001-02 and subsequent years. The spreadsheet will calculate your annual Btu use. Since this workbook is being submitted with your Space Inventory Report, your energy use data will be from the prior fiscal year, i.e. July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. Energy data in prior FY's should correspond to last year's EUC as closely as possible. 2. Enter your campus gross square footage from Space Inventory. Remove square footage that does not use electricity or gas. 3. Enter your normal weeks of Academic Operation. 4. Enter your total weeks of operation (must be 52 or less). 5. You are done. Save and send (electronically) in your EUC by October 16, 2015 to [email protected]. This chart was created to allow campuses to add academic weeks without being penalized for the additional energy those weeks would add to the normal calculation of the Energy Utilization Index (EUI); which is the BTU per GSF per Week. In the normal calculation, the energy use would increase, but the square footage would remain constant, thus resulting in a higher EUI. By factoring in the weeks of operation, the increase to the EUI is diluted. There is the presumption that a Non-Academic Week uses about 50% of the energy of an Academic Week. The energy usage calculator factors this into the formula for the average BTU per GSF per Week.
