SB 874 (Hill) This is a spot bill for the baccalaureate program. See the recent LAO report on baccalaureate degrees. Housing concerns have been expressed statewide.

A Resolution recognizing the value of Taft College EOPS is being worked on this week. As February is Awareness month and the ASCCC and Board of Governors have already marked the 50th anniversary of EOPS for special recognition, it seems appropriate for the Taft College Academic Senate to recognize the local EOPS during the month of February. Action requested: Approve movement of a resolution honoring EOPS forward to the Senate-of-the-Whole with a Recommendation of Support.
Motion to write the EOPS resolution. T. Furman Second: D. Rodenhauser Motion passed unanimously.
Activities begun under the Guided Pathways plans submitted by Taft College, with support from the Academic Senate, require institutionalization. Discussion: What do members of the Academic Senate Council, Academic Senate, and Academic Senate committees need to have, see, hear, learn, and/or do to determine our responsibilities in moving Guided Pathways towards institutionalization? What actions should be taken? Action requested: Development of recommendation(s) to Senate of the Whole for actions to institutionalize Guided Pathways activities. Discussion about Guided Pathways Implementation Committee. Questions were asked about the Trello board. It was recommended that Guided Pathways become a standing item on all subcommittees in case there is a need for action or discussion in future months. Currently, Guided Pathways is creating a website to create total transparency. Large pieces of Guided Pathways are 10+1 issues. Creating a process to monitor GP progress through subcommittees could enhance campus-wide efforts. There are fourteen pieces of Guided Pathways, with modifications that impact all areas of campus. These changes need to be vetted by responsible parties. Subcommittees and the Academic Senate Council can assist in this process. Which current subcommittee charters align with the GP initiatives at TC? Discussion Items9. Upcoming Items
Serving on two committees is a contract matter, not an Academic Senate matter. Serving on Academic Senate Subcommittees is necessary for faculty to monitor 10+1 issues on our campus. If someone wants to switch committees, Sharyn is happy to sign off on the switch, as long as the request is voluntary and initiated by the faculty member.
