With regard to the graduation initiative we have work to do and with regard to retention how do we get students to graduation.
Annualized FTEs equal fall, spring and summer divided by 2, but because we moved our classes to extended education this past summer they won’t count.
Garcia has asked the deans to work with the chairs at how they will look at retention.
Gasco asked if next summer would be moved to extended ed and Garcia said she did not know because there is not budget.
Garcia said that all 7 campuses that were affected by the over enrollment problem are working to get their money back. Garcia said that stateside classes count towards FTE and Extended Education does not. Kalayjian said that faculty don’t always get to offer classes they want it is up to the deans.

Michael White stood in as Acting Chair for Irene Vasquez who left the meeting for a priority commitment. Vogel discussed the RTP situation and said that there was so much to clean up. There was discussion and Vogel said that he would like to see a 1st and 2nd year mini review and then the 3rd year would be the full review.
There was discussion on the early tenure standards. Fawver said that we need department standards for unusually meritorious. We need formal feedback from Vogel. What is the standard for normal tenure?
Tenure and Promotion have independent reviews at various levels. Vogel has seen a lack of evaluation from beginning to end. Vogel has seen where early tenure has been requested with little scholarly activity and good but not unusually meritorious teaching. White said that there should be a developed directive with steps sent out to the colleges. Fawver said that her department already has standards and White asked if they could be shared. Fawver suggested a PM for every department to have RTP standards. Vogel said that other Universities have policies at the department, college and university level. Although there are college RTP committees, they are not guided by college level standards.
We talked about the agenda. We are requesting an adhoc committee to look into the RTP process, need about 5 or 6 people.
We will save the waitlist policy for next meeting.
Gasco presented EPC 10-12 which will fix the problems with FAC 09-12. It will be a first reading item at senate this week.
