NSHE has passed the minimum requirements and they have been reduced. The committee is bringing this to Department Chairs and Faculty Senate to get some input. VPAA McFarlane would like the committee to review the minimum standards. The committee is asking that departments review and make suggestions and recommendations. It was asked if there should be a full campus meeting to start a dialogue and get everyones suggestions and ideas. This has been submitted to Department Chairs and everyone is welcome to come to the C & A committee meetings. Mary would like everyone to email her with what they would like to do. Frank made a clarification: NSHEs intent was to streamline the code for the different degrees. Another suggestion would be for a Gen Ed committee to be created. Mary will get together with Linda Uhlenkott to determine if another subcommittee is necessary. Mary will then take that information back to her committee for discussion and then report back to Faculty Senate what has been decided. Department Chairs Written/Verbal/Action Item Bonnie Hofland brought forward six action items: 1. Proposed change to Mission Statement. The mission statement was created by the Accreditation and Steering Committee over several months. It went to Department Chairs, to make a recommendation, and is now being brought to the Senate. It will then move on to Presidents Council and will then have to be voted on by the Board of Regents. A motion was made and seconded to approve the mission statement. All were in favor; there were 3 abstentions. Motion carries. The item will move to Presidents Council and will be on the Regents agenda in December. 2. Proposed core themes wording change. The themes are a) providing student enrichment, b) building partnerships, and c) serving rural Nevada. A motion was made and seconded to approve the proposed core themes. These do not have to go to the Regents; they will move next to Presidents Council. After the motion was made, there was some discussion about the wording and possibly adjusting the wording. Chair Negrete reminded the Senate that there was a motion to approve the core themes already on the floor . There were 30 ayes and 3 abstentions, motion passes. 3. Syllabi on GBC website. It was proposed that syllabi move from the internet to the intranet. There are concerns about personal information being out on the web. Putting the syllabi on the intranet will require a user name and password to view the information. This will have to go to Presidents Council once it goes through Faculty Senate. A motion was made and seconded. All were in favor, 2 abstentions, motion carries. 4. Prioritizing positions for hiring new staff. There are six positions that have been brought forward by departments and have prioritized as follows: Diesel, Criminal Justice, Economics, Nursing, Science, History/Political Science. It has been approved that two positions will be hired for. The committee is hoping to get at least three positions. The committee is asking Senate to approve the prioritization of the faculty positions. Chair Negrete asked for a motion. A motion was made and seconded. All were in favor, there were two abstentions, motion passes. 5. Department Chairs have created three subcommittees: the first to look at the IAV and video policy on campus, the second to look at faculty over load, and the third to look at Senate organization. The sub committees are beginning to function. Bob Hannu is the chairman of the IAV sub-committee. This committee met and recommended guidelines to department chairs. One guideline is that the original recording policy should be observed. Classes will be recorded and distributed only for technical backup. Recordings will not be given to students, and only registered students will be allowed to view the recordings at a GBC facility. Another guideline refers to courses in which the instructor wishes to retain the IAV recording for other purposes, such as online classes. These instructors should ask for release forms from the students in the course. This policy is going to grow in length as technology changes. Department Chairs is supporting the IAV sub-committee to move in that direction. A motion was made to approve the policy as read, the motion was seconded. One member was opposed, five abstained. Jim Elithorp explained why he is opposing the motion. Bonnie mentioned that Department Chairs will support him and his situation. 6. A subcommittee has been created for Senate organization and Senate containers. The sub-committee is currently made up of mostly teaching faculty. The sub-committee is asking for volunteers from other containers so that there is equal representation. Several members volunteered to be on the sub-committee. Currently, the members are: David Freistroffer, Heather Steel, Linda Uhlenkott, Angie deBraga, Pete Bagley, Patty Fox, Lisa Campbell and Janie Moore. Distance Education Written/Verbal Report John Newman reported on the learning management system that has been chosen. Canvas was selected. John reported the reasons for this decision citing that functionality for students and faculty was one of the main driving factors. Pilot courses will be implemented in the spring of 2012. Lisa Frazier announced that training will begin on Nov. 18. The Senate thanked the committee for taking on this huge task. Faculty & Administrative Evaluations Written Report Faculty/Staff Safety Written/Verbal/Action Item Pat Anderson brought forth an item to review and vote on. Laboratory, Technical, and Career Skills course General Safety Procedures are intended to be the universal policies and procedures. Individual departments will need to build on them for their specific needs. A motion was made and seconded. All were in favor, motion carries.

The first action item to vote on is to approve emeritus status for Joyce Shaw. All were in favor, motion carries. Chair Negrete will take this item to Presidents Council. Congratulations to Joyce. The second action item is the proposal to change the way faculty and administration members are printed on the graduation program. The Personnel Committee came up with two suggestions: List faculty by department or larger groups that could be determined alphabetically or groups could be determined by the Graduation Committee, in consultation with other groups involved. It was suggested that the names be removed all together. It should be about the students and not the faculty. Motion was made and seconded to eliminate the names from the program. All were in favor, motion carries. Professional Enrichment Ad Hoc Committee The verbal report was given in conjunction with Distance Ed.
