Twelve written proxies were recorded. Approval of minutes from January 25, 2008, meeting Action The Faculty Senate Minutes from January 25, 2008, were approved unanimously. senate chair report Information GBC Mission Statement Chair Nickel advised that an Ad Hoc Committee through Enrollment and Admissions worked on creating the new mission statement. Susanna Dorr stated that during the committee meeting, it was brought up that the existing mission statement was more of an inventory of what GBC does, rather than stating GBCs mission. The newly designed statement addresses the population the college serves, the various kinds of students, businesses, fund raisers, entities in the community, and faculty. Frank Daniels stated, A mission statement needs to be a foundation of the strategic plan which specially addresses those groups. Dorr said that the draft was a philosophical basis that would give rise to objectives and plan. The committee felt the draft accurately addressed those issues. Chair Nickel stated, at this time, the draft was for informational purposes. He advised that if anyone had additional ideas or suggestions, they should pass them on to Susanna Dorr. Cindy Hyslop advised that next week the draft would be presented to the Personnel Committee and then back to the Senate for the March meeting. Board of Regents Chair Nickel stated the February Regents meeting was amazing to watch. During the Public Comment period, an estimated 100-150 faculty and students from College of Southern Nevada (CSN) were present. They urged reconsideration of the proposed budget cuts. It was the contention of CSN they had been treated unfairly over the years and should not suffer any future cuts. Students were voicing their fears that their programs would be done away with, and they would not be able to graduate. Needless to say, their statements did not set well with other institutions. CSN went on to provide FTE cost comparisons with other institutions. According to their figures, their FTE costs were approximately $400-$500 less than GBCs. Chair Nickel questioned Mike McFarlane about their figures. Mike assured him that it was the manner in which CSN gathered their totals. Their FTE figures were lower due to enrollment volume, with more of their students in lower cost programs. When comparing cost of classes, such as nursing, diesel, etc., the FTE costs were about the same. GBC carries more students in the higher cost programs. Chair Nickel added that another reason why GBCs costs were higher prior to the recent budget cuts was because instructors were traveling to outlying areas to teach courses. He encouraged the faculty to request clarification if they had any questions. On the following day, the full BOR voted on the proposed budget cuts without any changes. Budget issues were worse than originally thought due to income levels being lower than projected. committee reports Academic Standards - Written Report Chair Nickel announced the committee was working on two new issues: 1) How the college insures academic freedom and standards, but allows for students to complain; 2) A policy designed for the retention of student records for grade purposes. What records should be kept and for how long? The committee is currently working on a retention schedule. Chair Nickel stated that those with ideas or concerns should contact Carrie Bruno. Adjunct Faculty: Written Report Assessment: No Report Budget & Facilities Written & Verbal Reports Rich Barton provided a summary sheet of how equipment requests were to be allocated. He advised that Dorinda Friez would be emailing everyone with a detailed summary. Prior to the release of funds, the proposed requests have to go before Presidents Council. He advised that purchases would need to be made by the end of March. A floor plan of the new EIT building was presented. It showed office designations and who would be occupying them. The only office specially designated was to Jim Elithorp. There were three offices left to fill. ASC would be given an office, but it is presently shown as a workroom. Rich advised that after completion of the new building, several offices would be available throughout the campus and if anyone was interested, they should contact him. Rich advised those requesting flat screen monitors through the recent equipment request need to contact Jeff Cox prior to making their purchases. Departments moving into the new EIT Building are not to purchase their own furniture; the building would be furnished. By Laws Written Report Susanna Dorr announced the Board of Regent would be providing a new version of their Bylaws within 30 days. Compensation & Benefits No Report Curriculum & Articulation Verbal Report/Action Glen Tenney presented the committees approved courses and requested the Senates approval on the following report: Course NumberCourse NameCreditsActionHMSSubstance Abuse Counseling Methods3HMS 107Small Group Interaction Techniques3ApprovedNRES 299Special Topics in Natural Resources 1 6 ApprovedRAD 198BSpecial Topics: Radiology Essentials1ApprovedAUTO 101BIntroduction to Auto Mechanics (changed to unlimited repeatability) 3 Approved New Certificate Program: Certificate of Achievement: Substance Abuse Counselor Training Program Human Services. A motion was made and seconded to approve the report. The motion was approved unanimously. Department Chairs Verbal Report Pete Bagley reported the committee was still working on the job description for the Academic Success Center directors position. It was decided that coordinating INT 100 classes would be a part of the ASCs responsibilities. Until that time, a volunteer has been sought, and Mike McFarlane was working with that person. Mike should announce that person next week. It was questioned how much release time would be available. Pete stated three credits of release time, but the person coordinating INT 100 would be teaching two of the sections. Distance Education No Report Faculty & Administrative Evaluations Written Report I.C.E.

It has been set for entire service area and the book will be, Call of the Wild. Karen Dannehl has been working on this project, and all ideas should be directed to her. Tracy Shane requested I.C.E. to sponsor speaker Trent Loos. Mr. Loos spoke on Wednesday, February 13th Integrative Seminars No Report Library No Report Personnel Verbal Report Cindy Hyslop stated the committee has rewritten the Sabbatical Application. She requested the Senate to review the application. It would be coming before the Senate for a vote at the March meeting. She stated that numerous changes were made to make the evaluation process clearer. It was questioned if the upcoming budget cuts would affect applying. Cindy stated that sabbaticals were not touched by the recent budget cuts. Cindy advised of additional changes made: Page 1, third bulleted item, added, Faculty members awarded leave must agree to return to the college for a one year period, and removing, if the college desires their services. Page 1, last paragraph, first sentence, follows the same wording that is on Page 2, first paragraph. Page 4, under signature, a date was added. Page 5, #2, the word relevance, should be relevant. Cindy stated that if anyone had any questions or comments to email her. Student Relations No Report FOUR-YEAR COMMITTEE REPORTS Bachelor of Applied Science Written Report Bachelor of Arts in Integrative Studies No Report Bachelor of Social Work No Report Elementary and Secondary Education No Report CAREER & TECHNICAL TRAINING No Report Health Sciences and Human Services Department No Report UNFINISHED BUSINESS None NEW BUSINESS Senate Committees: Chair Nickel stated he had two ideas presented to him. Lynn Mahlberg advised him that there were faculty members working very hard on the Student Intervention Group. Lynn had requested the group be made a Faculty Senate Committee that would count towards their contractual obligations as service to GBC. Chair Nickel said he agreed. He used Mary Ray as an example; she serves on a Senate committee, as well as the Student Intervention Group as do many other faculty members. Chair Nickel went on to explain that Cindy Hyslop had been speaking to other campuses and found that GBCs Senate has more committees than other institutions. Chair Nickel conducted his own survey and found that GBC Senate has more senate committees, but other institutions have far more non-senate committees. Overall, he wasnt convinced that GBC Senate had more or less but just a different arrangement, with only some of the committees applying to faculty members contractual agreements. He suggested that the committee structure be reviewed with the possibility of developing a better organization. Chair Nickel stated it was his plan to discuss his findings with committee chairs through Executive Committee. His hope was to make things more equitable and streamlined. It was suggested that a mission statement be designed for Faculty Senate. The thought being a committee structure would flow from the creation of the statement. Lab Fees: Chair Nickel stated while he was at Regents, he learned that a percentage of students tuition goes back into the states general fund. He questioned if Senate was aware of this. He felt the same thing was taking place with GBC lab fees. Fees were being utilized to pay for expenses not directly related to the course that students were paying fees for. Fees should not be used to assist with budget shortfalls. He further questioned whether they felt it was the right thing to do and requested them to think about it. Further discussion took place about how fees were assessed and being spent. It was suggested to have Bill Reinhard speak before the next Senate meeting to clarify how lab fees were being spent and disbursed among the departments. Senate also wanted to know how the carryover was being utilized. Pahrump stated they too had concerns with monies being removed and not knowing where the fees were going. Bret Murphy clarified that it was not the intent to close any of the existing programs or for anyone to teach a substandard class. The recent budget cuts have caused accounts to be reviewed with hopes to offset the current crisis. Janie Moore reiterated that every area and department throughout the college was being reviewed. Phil Smith questioned who assessed the fees. He stated that his physical education class has always had lab fees assessed, but he has never requested them. Chair Nickel requested Rich Barton, Budget Committee Chair to; 1) Research each department that generates lab fees; find out how much money is collected and redirected elsewhere; report back to the Senate explaining where the money is actually being spent; 2) Request Bill Reinhard to attend the March meeting to explain how fees are assessed, spent and then be willing to answer questions. Chair Nickel felt that the students were assessed a fee for something they were not actually receiving. Bret Murphy stated the college needed to off-set approximately $31,000. The big picture needs to be reviewed. Microsoft Office Dwaine Hiles advised that the college would be converting to Microsoft Office. The transition would take place this summer. An inservice training would be provided prior to the start of the fall semester. INFORMATION GBC Foundations Annual Fund Raiser Patty Jones advised the Foundation has raised a great deal of private funds for education. She announced $60,000 was given for scholarships; $10,000 for equipment; Winnemucca would be receiving $150,000 towards the purchase of a new module; $2.5 million for community expansion; and $500,000 was going towards the new EIT building. She said the Foundation firmly believes they are doing a great thing at GBC and plans to continue supporting higher education. Patty announced the Foundations annual fund raiser and tickets can be purchased through Squy Wallace. Squy advised there were only four tickets left. Patty thanked everyone who worked on the committee and those who donated auction items. Patty stated the event should earn an estimated $50,000. She also thanked everyone for their fund raising efforts. Chair Nickel called for a round of applause for the Foundations work throughout the year. Senate Refreshments Chair Nickel called for a volunteer; BAS volunteered to provide refreshments.
