Academic Senate Report - Affordable Learning Materials Committee

Part-time faculty stipends

We request that the Adjunct Faculty Academic Senate College Service Program form (https://employees.losrios.edu/lrccd/employee/doc/hr/forms/p-132-scs.pdf) be updated to include the Affordable Learning Materials Committee in the list.

Part time faculty are not always compensated for college service, despite them being crucial to the success of the college. The Adjunct Faculty Academic Senate College Service Program provides stipends for adjunct faculty serving on Senate, Curriculum Committee, or Matriculation/Student Success Committee. The Affordable Learning Materials Committee is a newer Senate committee and should also be included in the Adjunct Faculty Academic Senate College Service Program so it's clear that our part time faculty members can be compensated for the important work they do in promoting the adoption of affordable learning materials across the college.

Academic Senate Report - Affordable Learning Materials Committee

Student stipends

Because the work of the Affordable Learning Materials Committee directly affects students, it is important for the committee to have student representation. However, students are not compensated for committee work, while college employees are. Therefore it is important to compensate student representatives for their time and labor.

We can hardly say we are being equitable if we don't include students in decision-making that affects them, or if we expect students to perform unpaid labor for the college.

Academic Senate Report - Curriculum Committee

A Dedicated Curriculum Specialist

One curriculum specialist who submits curriculum to CCCCO.

The demands on classified staff to support curriculum are high. We need a
dedicated curriculum specialist who handles CCCCO submissions. We have historically been way behind on program submissions
and program changes. We are recently doing much better with course submissions. CTE Code Alignment in May 2018 revealed
errors in the CCCCO Curriculum Inventory (incorrect course classifications, duplicate listings, incomplete listings, etc...). Those
errors were brought to the administration's attention in May 2018, but there does not seem to be adequate staff to address the
issues.
The CCCCO Curriculum Inventory (COCI) will be updated soon to add more CB Codes for courses. These CB codes are meant to
help identify courses that qualify for the outcomes-based component (e.g. identifying college-level Math and English courses) of
the Student-Centered Funding Formula. This later work would be one-time in nature, and could be completed as a special
project, perhaps by someone who has familiarity with CB Codes and who can be trained on COCI.

Academic Senate Report - Curriculum Committee

Chair-in-Training and Past-Chair Reassign Time

Incoming curriculum chairs are inundated with many tasks that require immediate knowledge and understanding of local, district and statewide policies. This position is put under immediate pressure to continue to move curriculum forward as there are deadlines that need to be met for the catalog, ACCJC and others. This is primarily accomplished by having access to previous faculty-chairs who (currently) provide their knowledge and experience as an ethical obligation. However, from an instutitional perspective the extra workload that they take on is an equity issue. The burden is on the faculty to provide their time/expertise without any form of compensation for their institutional memory and dedication to maintaining the integrity of this committee's mission.

This request is to fund reassign time (0.4 FTE) to support a smoother transition of
the outgoing-incoming curriculum chairs. The reassign time would be given to the new chair one semester (0.2 FTE/Spring) to
begin transitioning the workload over and to the former curriculum chair in the following semester (0.2 FTE/Fall) to close out any
ongoing curriculum that began under their oversight.
Curriculum is a complex task. A new chair must learn state and regional requirements related to curriculum as quickly as
possible. There are also district policies/regulations, software (Socrates and PeopleSoft), and local considerations. Despite being
a "smaller" college, FLC's curricular processes are equally important as the other campuses. The main difference in this campus is
our growth. It follows that the committee reviews countless new course/program proposals along with their affiliated
documents and faculty presentations on top of the standard curricular revisions. The reassign time can help faculty chairs budget
time to ensure that pending curriculum proposals, compliance with initiatives and new laws/regulations transitions smoothly
from one chair to the next. Currently, this is done as a gesture of collegiality and integrity for the core mission of the Curriculum
Committee. However, this should not be an expectation as there may be former faculty chairs (for various reasons) that would
be unable to fulfill this task. This, in turn, would leave the college and current curricular proposals/projects at risk for major
delays or non-compliance due to lack of reference from previous faculty chairs.
The total request would be for 0.4 FTE spread across the two semesters listed above, and only when there will be a transition to
a new curriculum chair.

Faculty Reassign Time for all INDIS and Transfer Certificate Programs

It is understood that there is a recent proposal for a faculty lead in two INDIS programs to complete program reviews (INDIS Soc & Behav Sci, INDIS Arts & Humanities). However, there remains other INDIS programs in addition to the above mentioned that do not have faculty oversight to conduct the periodic Program Review over the long-term.

The INDIS programs include:
AA-T in in Law, Public Policy, and Society;
A.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies: Arts and Humanities;
A.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies: Communication and English;
A.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies: Math and Science;
A.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies: Social and Behavioral Sciences;
A.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies: Pre-Law;
A.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies: STEM for Transfer;
Certificate in Heritage Interpretation

This directly impacts curriculum processes, for example, during course deletions as it stalls Socrates and catalog updates due to lack of oversight to oversight to complete these changes.

At this time the request is for reassign time (0.1 per program) to be given to one or more faculty to conduct a program review to assess (and if necessary revise) PSLOs, study program viability, and work with departments to optimize course scheduling. Faculty who will conduct the program review shall be nominated by the PRDP committee or Curriculum Committee, and officially appointed by the Academic Senate President.

The INDIS degrees are among the most popular for FLC students. In addition, the
CSU-GE and IGETC Certificates of Achievement are important for our transfer students (and students receiving ADTs). Clearly
these programs are important, but it is a requirement to periodically review these programs ensuring that the path to graduation
is clear for students.

Part-time faculty stipends for SLO assessments

The committee requests that more stipends be made available to part-time faculty who complete SLO assessments. In many departments part-time faculty are the only faculty members to teach certain classes; as a result the department must rely on the part-time faculty to complete SLO assessments. Being able to support part-time faculty with stipends could help departments support the extra work that some part-time faculty are asked to do.

Reassigned time or stipend for person responsible for Graduate Exit Survey

The committee would like the college to consider shifting some of the resources that were previously spent on administering the CCSSE to supporting the Graduate Exit Survey. Because the CCSSE is no longer going to be administered, the Graduate Exit Survey is the colleges primary source of data for assessment of our iSLOs. Furthermore, it is the only source of support provided to departments to help with program SLO assessment. Keeping the Graduate Exit Survey up to date, administering the survey to students, and generating yearly reports continues to be an increasingly time consuming and important task.

Stipend for Committee Members

Curriculum and Senate meet the most frequently (2x/month). No other committee has such a time commitment. In addition, serving on curriculum plus a subcommittee is a further demand on the time of the membership to ensure timely turnover of curricular proposals.

This is a request for stipends of $500/member/semester to serve on the curriculum
committee.
Membership on the curriculum committee is a labor-intensive assignment. The dedicated faculty and classified staff who serve
attend meetings frequently (2x/mo) and keep up with demands of curricular work such as standard revisions, new
course/program proposals, catalog updates, and other curricular related actions. Note that in-between meetings the faculty also
are expected to review all proposals or curriculum-related documentation as most are "action-items" on the next agenda. It
follows that, this committee is essentially working all the time.
There is also an additional high time commitment if one serves on a subcommittee (Distance Education, General Education
(GE)/Baccalaureate/Multicultural Degree Requirement, Prerequisite/Co-requisite/Advisor, Program Review and Department
Planning and Technical Review). Presently, in addition to the full committee meetings, members of a subcommittee commit to
frequent meetings (2x/mo). This entails the extra task of reporting-out to full committee as well as needing the first-look at
curriculum proposals and supporting documents prior to moving items towards "1st Reading" status for the full review.
Presently, a brief internet search found the following institutions provide professional stipends to curriculum committee
members:
Long Beach Community College District (1), Butte Community College District (2), Roger State Univesity (3) , Pratt State
University (4).
This vital committee needs to be supported to retain the resourceful and dedicated members it currently has and also to
incentivize additional members (especially instructional faculty) in maintaining the integrity of our curricular processes.

Travel Funds for Upcoming Regional and State-Wide Meetings

Travel funds are requested to send the chair, tech review chair, articulation officer, curriculum specialist, an administrator, and up to two additional faculty to attend the summer Curriculum Institute and fall/spring regional meetings.

Curriculum is dynamic. As with all areas of professional development, even the
most experienced curriculum members require training on the newest policies (i.e. AB 705) and how to implement them at our
institution. Opportunities such as this are also where faculty determine interest in longevity of their committee membership. In
many cases, future and former committee chairs, articulation officers, instructional faculty and classified staff benefit from
futher developing their understanding of current guidelines relevant and engaging with other instutions

Stipend for Research/Development of Mentoring Program

Stipend for Research/Development of Mentoring Program

Currently, there is no formal campus-wide mentoring program; rather, mentoring
seems to be handled differently by each department/area, with some faculty never being assigned a mentor. Mentors are
untrained, and there is little incentive for faculty to learn how to be the most effective mentors possible since there is no
guidance or oversight provided. It is the responsibility of the FPDC "to facilitate training for faculty mentors as identified by the
Academic Senate President," but because we have so many other projects and no reassigned time for work on this committee,
we have been unable to devote the time and attention required to research effective mentoring models and to create a model
that would work for our campus. We would like to request a stipend be made available to two members of the committee who
would then be tasked with researching mentoring models offered on other community college campuses and creating a model
to be implemented at FLC.

Matriculation Chair Compensation

Reassign time or stipend to compensate Matriculation Chair

The Senate Matriculation Committee is our participatory governance structure that
houses the intersection of Student Success and Instruction. It oversees, implements, and guides policy change relating to
Student Success, assessment, outreach & orientation, enrollment management, acceleration, and provides the faculty
involvement necessary to support our BSI/SSPSEP tri-plan. This body will play a VITAL roll in Guided Pathways implementation. A
lack of engagement on this committee in the past led to numerous missed opportunities in helping out students be successful.
The senate is absolutely committed to supporting and revitalizing this critical committee. Our current chair, Tina Royer, is doing
an absolutely fabulous job.
Currently, the Matriculation Chair receives no compensation for chairing this committee. Our Curriculum Committee chair is
compensated through the district; our Professional Development Committee chair has historically received compensation from a
variety of college sources (Many of the additional tasks beyond the charge of the PD Committee will now be done by a
compensated .6 reassign PD Coordinator); and our college presidents have been generous in providing .4 President's Reassign
Time to our SLO Coordinator. Our Matriculation and Multicultural Diversity Chairs are currently uncompensated.
The Matriculation Chair must also attend and represent FLC at District Matriculation. The responsibilities, duties, and scope of
this chair position vastly outstrip college service requirements, and it is therefore difficult to attract and keep diligent chairs.
This vital committee should be properly resourced so that is may achieve its ever-expanding mission.

FLC will embark on an annual Men of Color Summit where we invite men of Color from both FLC and our local high school service areas to attend FLC to engage in mentorship as well as academic and professional strategy. FLCs male population also indicates several ethnicities that experience equity gaps. For example, African American men experience -12%, LatinX men experience -5.5%, Native American men experience -9.7% and men in the unknown category experience -4.5% equity gaps. To address these gaps, the equity center will be providing assistance to the summit to ensure that men in these categories are resourced and know that the center will provide a space for them to enrich their experiences. Additionally, the summit will also reach out to high schools in the FLC service area to invite students to come to campus and learn more about the center.

Campus Computer Replacements

Replace employee computers at all three campuses for continuous improvement.

Updating computers across the campus is essential to having an efficient, effective, and modern working environment.

Because of HEERF funding we replaced all employee desktops with laptops and dicking stations. we need to start to stagger the laptop replacements or all 250+ of them will expire at the same time.

Employee Computer Refresh

Staff Computers to replace the oldest of the employee computers on campus.

We have no replacement schedule for replacing aging employee office computers at FLC. Traditionally we have only replaced lab computers and cascaded those computers to employee offices. Due to the pandemic, this specific resource is no longer needed at this time as all employees have been issued laptops. However, beginning 2024 we need to strategically implement a replacement cycle and process to address the systems that will begin to age at the time.

Gain Better Visibility Into Network

Ability to see and generate wireless heat maps, see connected devices, gather statistical information, and gather analytics.

One time only supply request (less than $5000 per item)

Network connectivity, both wired and wireless, has become essential and core to the needs of the campus. As we have grown the scope and scale of this offering we need to have better visibility into what devices are connected, what resources they have access to, and where we have gaps in coverage. In the past we have had wireless site surveys, however, as we update technology and expand services, it is difficult to anticipate and verify that the changes were effective and to plan for future expansion without the analytics. There might not be a cost to this as the Meraki dashboards have a capability to generate coverage maps, but the District needs to enable this feature and we do not know if they will be adequate when they do. There is software that can be purchased to generate wireless heat maps, it will also require hardware and staffing to survey the campus in order to generate the data. This is a placeholder to identify and address the need in case the District provided resource is inadequate.

Request for a MESA Program Cal-Card

This request is for discussion on possible solutions to help avoid any out-of-pocket expenses for the program when it comes to travel/programmatic activities. Part of the MESA program goals is to help reduce barriers for students to take advantage of STEM opportunities and resources. One of the main activities of the MESA program is to travel with students to various STEM conferences within the state, as well as out of state. So far, MESA has had 1 local conference travel with students this fall (UC Davis), and is scheduled for 2 more in November (a San Francisco MESA Student Leadership Conference hosted by the UC Office of the President & the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Students in San Antonio, TX). To plan for these trips, the MESA Director works directly with BSO. Although there are policies in place to help pay for these opportunities (i.e. BSO submitting payment for conference registrations directly, cash advance option, etc.), there are still gaps/challenges that come with this travel process. For example, some conferences only accept a credit card payment (especially if it's a smaller group of students being registered). Additionally, if conferences do accept a check payment from the institution, timelines do not always line up. For example, it's not always an easy process to recruit students and have them commit to a trip considering their work or class schedule. By the time students are able to commit to attending a conference after requesting time off from work or confirming with their professors that they can miss class time, the deadline to submit a check payment to a conference organizer is too close to have enough time to request a check to be processed and arrive on time. If conferences/travel are within the Sacramento region, meals are not covered via the travel paperwork, forcing the Program Director to pay for lunch/meals not offered by a conference out of pocket, then seeking reimbursement via an LPO. After attending 2 MESA Director's Leadership Conferences with MESA Director's from all over the state, MESA colleagues at other program are able to support program activities using their designated program credit-card. Looking to find/discuss a plan where no up front out of pocket expenses are the responsibility of the program in order to schedule/execute program activities/travel for students.

This fall semester alone, for the MESA student conferences scheduled, the MESA Director has paid a total of $3,932 on her personal credit card only in student conference registrations, student travel lunch & conference parking. This is for 4 students attending each conference. As we continue to grow & have more MESA students interested in conferences, especially if we find more great conference opportunities, the amounts will only increase. The amount listed above does not include multiple LPO reimbursement requests for sperate in-house student events/lunch.

Last year the department allocated $15,000 out of $20,000 to cover the cost of the multi language contracts. The contracts provides interpretation services to the student services division. $5,000 was for other personal services.

Non-Instructional Supplies

Increase funding for programming.

Base Budget Increase

An increase of $2,424 dollars for Non-Instructional Supplies. The budget supports the following efforts:

1. Falcon Launch: (t-shirts, printing materials, swag items, etc.). In Spring 2023, there was 39 students who attended Falcon Launch. In Fall 2023, there was 76 students who attend Falcon Launch. We doubled the number of students who attended in Fall compared to Spring. In addition, 100 students registered for Fall 2023 and we project more students will register for the upcoming terms.

2. New Student Orientation: We provide new students with a welcome goodie bag, important handouts, and candy to engage participation. In Fall 2022, 60 students attended orientation for the spring semester. In Spring 2023 and Summer 2023, 675 students attended orientation for summer/fall 2023. The number of students attending orientation has sky rocketed. We project to continue to serve that many students since enrollment count has jumped to 10,148 and of that number 2,951 students were new.

3. Soar to success has developed a new logo. We want to order promotional materials to bring awareness to the campus community and more importantly students about success coaches.

Travel/Conference

Soar to success funds to support professional growth, development, and collaboration.

Base Budget Increase

Success coaches goal is to increase retention rates and student experiences. Coaches meet with students on a daily bases and provide emotional, psychological, and academic support. For the year of 2022-2023, success coaches met with more than 863 students. Each of these interactions were meetings and consist of 30 mins or more. This number does not include the starfish referrals contact attempts (3 attempts per student), and the ongoing emails, phone calls, and coordination with staff and faculty for services. Providing more professional development opportunities will expand their skills, knowledge, and expand their lens to be more equitable. In addition, they can grow within their positions and expand to other opportunities within the district. This funding will support collaboration within departments and sister colleges (meet with success coaches at other campuses). In addition to having strategic planning meetings and retreats within the unit.

Program Growth

Facility Need - Private Space

The success coaches are housed in cubicles in the Welcome Center and do not have a quiet, confidential space to make phone calls. A hub where coaches can be housed to invite students to connect, host events, and workshops (space similar to the Innovation Center).

The following reasons are why a confidential space/hub is necessary for the Soar to Success team:
1. Minimize distractions to foster an environment of focus and attention both from student and success coach.
2. Create a safe supportive environment where students can speak openly to discuss challenges, fears, and aspirations. Success coaches have provided case management to probation/dismissal students. In Fall 2023, there were 423 students in probation/dismissal.
3. Success coaches participate in hiring committees, where a confidential space is necessary.
4. A success coach hub will bring exposer to who success coaches are and access to assistance right away. In addition to providing events and workshops (meta-major specific).
5. For Fall 2022 - Spring 2023, success coaches received 871 starfish referrals. Within the referrals they reached out to students in numerous occasions (3 attempts), scheduled 1:1 meetings, and referred to resources/services. For Fall 2023, there has been 397 Starfish referrals so far.
6. The program continues to grow as well as the student population. In Fall 2022, we had 2,209 new students to FLC. In Fall 2023, we have 2,951 new students. There is an increase of 742 new students from last year to this year, not including new transfer or returning students. The student body has grown to 10,148 total. An increase of 1,534 students for that semester. With an increase of new students that means an increase in success coaches caseload.
