Sabbatical Project Summary

Mai Meidinger

My full sabbatical report includes information from three main sources: (1) faculty and administrator contacts to learn of different online math programs offered at six colleges (2) the Online Teaching Conference I attended in June 2014 and (3) the Chancellor’s Office Management Information System (MIS) Data Mart. The information was gathered from conducting in-person interviews, campus visits, phone interviews, emails, college websites, and Chancellor’s Office MIS Data Mart. My goal for the project was to investigate online math programs offered at other campuses concerning student success rates, course management systems, and professional development. I am providing a brief summary but detailed information is available in my full report.

From the data and contacts with faculty, dean, and staff from the six colleges, the evidence indicates student outcomes are worse in online courses compared to traditional courses. The Chancellor’s Office MIS Data Mart provides detailed information of success rates for courses in different categories: basic skills, degree-applicable, and transferable. The following colleges were my targets in this study:

College Name Course Management System 1. Merced College Blackboard 2. Fullerton College Blackboard 3. Sacramento City College Desire2Learn (D2L) 4. American River College Desire2Learn (D2L) 5. Santa Rosa Junior College Moodle 6. Mendocino College Etudes

Out of the six colleges named above, three showed having better success rates in their transfer-level DE courses compared to non-DE courses. Though this conclusion came from a small sample size, it is a trend worth noticing. For basic skills level DE courses, colleges that already have the support system in place seem to do better than those colleges that do not. For example, American River College and Santa Rose Junior College have a strong support system in their pre-collegiate level math courses, and this support structure benefits their distance education program for basic skills.

Out of the six colleges I studied, five do not have a training program in place to train new faculty for online teaching. The exception is Mendocino College. This is a pleasant surprise since their college FTES for 2012-13 is 2899, which is about one third the size of Merced College. All six colleges offer assistance to online faculty through various means such as workshops, support on an as-needed basis from a distance education coordinator, and 24-7 online support/pre-recorded trainings.

According to the CCCCO MIS data, online course enrollment reached close to one million in 2010-11, up from only 114,000 in 2002-03. In fact, almost 530,000 community college students (19.5% of all students taking credit courses) took at least one credit course online in 2011-12. I believe the colleges do recognize the need to do more to keep up with the quality to serve this increasing population and demand, and at the same time, maximizing FTES opportunities. At the state level, the Online Education Initiative (OEI) is an important step in improving access and success, but it will depend on implementing effective policies and programs that improve student outcomes. At the local college level, I think the performance gap can be minimized if we would challenge ourselves to make it a priority to make our online program more rigorous with a strong built-in support system.

Bringing it home to Merced College - the list below consists of a mix of ideas and suggestions from faculty, experts in the field of online education, and administrators from various campuses.

 Promote human presence practices for online classes such as o create a video for class orientation o create a short video introducing a new chapter or topic o offer regular online office hours o use live desktop sharing o provide embedded student support o offer synchronous sessions at times that could fit a variety of schedules throughout the semester  Create a distance-education webpage where o students can get technical help o students can easily search for online classes o students and faculty can learn about Blackboard (our course management system) o students can assess their technical skills to decide whether they should enroll in an online class  Provide or require training for online faculty o in-house program o courses offered through @One or any accredited institution o @One Online Teaching Certification Program  Support on-going professional development and healthy dialogues pertaining to distance education such as pedagogy, technology, contact hours, student success, etc.  Ensure there are enough course offerings so if students choose not to enroll in an online course are not forced to do so  Create an avenue for faculty to reach out to each other to share best practices and/or learn about new online teaching tools – perhaps through the DE Committee or DE coordinator o useful apps for iPad: Doceri, Notability, Explain Everything and Near Pod o useful websites: Diigo.com, Socrative.com, Wordle.net, and NearPod.com  Advertise/market online courses to attract the right kind of student such as those meeting minimal computer literacy  Focus on improving student success for high-demand or transfer-level courses – make it a priority!

I am an optimist. So, in conclusion, I would like to leave you with great hope for the future of online education. According to the article Online Learning and Student Outcomes in California Community College (Public Policy Institute of California, May 2014):

“… the picture of long-term outcomes for online students actually look brighter. Students who take at least some online courses are more likely than those who take only traditional courses to earn an associate’s degree or to transfer to a four-year institution. For some students, online course offer a useful tool that helps them reach their goals.”

------I would like to thank Dr. Kain, Dr. Kistler, Dr. Taylor, members of the Board, and members of the Sabbatical Committee for supporting my sabbatical project. I learned through this project that we are not alone in our struggles in the arena of online education. It is a topic to be undertaken on a statewide scale and through effective policies and their implementation. It is reassuring to know there is evidence showing that students who take at least some online courses are more likely than those who take only traditional courses to earn an associate’s degree or to transfer to a four-year institution. ------

PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE MERCED COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT AT THE NOVEMBER 18, 2014 MEETING OF THE BOARD

Item: Addendum to the Merced Campus Facilities Master Plan Botanical Garden Presented By: Joanne Schultz and Bryan Tassey For: Information Action X

Background Information The District’s Five-Year Capital Outlay Plans are based on the local Educational Master Plan and Facilities Master Plan for each campus. The California Code of Regulations, title 5, section 51008 requires districts to establish policies for, and approve, comprehensive or master plans which include academic master plans and long range master plans for facilities.

An Educational Master Plan is therefore a prerequisite to the preparation of a Facilities Master Plan. The preparation of a Facilities Master Plan is in turn a prerequisite to the preparation of the Five- Year Capital Outlay Plans districts submit annually to the Facilities Planning Unit (FPU) of the Chancellor’s Office

In the latter part of 2013, the Capital Planning Department started the process of updating the Educational Master Plan and Facilities Master Plan. Task forces for each plan were established to work concurrently. The Vice President of Instruction plays an essential role in the development of the Educational Master Plan. Because we were in the process of hiring a new Vice President of Instruction, we had to delay the work on the Educational Master Plan. However, under the guidance of Dr. Schultz and Dr. Gilliland, both plans are back on track.

Recently, Professor Tassey was approached about possible grant opportunities to fund a large portion of the Botanical Garden. In an effort to meet the grant deadlines, we are requesting that an addendum to the current Facilities Master Plan be approved, which sites the Botanical Garden. This approval will allow Professor Tassey to move forward with the grant applications. We will continue the updates to the Educational Master Plan and Facilities Master Plan and bring those forward for board approval in the near future.

The District’s Facilities Master Planning Committee (FMPC) approved the amendment on Friday, October 10, 2014. The amendment was approved by consensus by the District’s College Council on Tuesday, October 14, 2014, shared with the District’s Academic Senate on Thursday, October 23, 2014 and approved by consensus by the District’s Educational Master Planning Committee (EMPC) on Thursday, October 23, 2014.

Recommended/Requested Action It is recommended the board approve the amended Facilities Master Plan to include the proposed Botanical Garden.

Attachments Amended Facilities Master Plan provided as separate insert.

Item: Date of January 2015 Board Meeting

Presented by: Ronald C. Taylor

For Information X For Action

Background Information The scheduled date for the regular meeting of the Board is the first Tuesday of each month. In January 2015, this date would be January 6 which is three working days after the Christmas break. This would not allow for items to be submitted and an agenda to be developed in time to meet Brown Act requirements. The backup date for a regular meeting of the Board is the third Tuesday of each month. In January 2015, this date would be January 20.

In order to move the date of the January 2015 meeting to the third Tuesday of the month, board approval is needed.

Recommended Action It is recommended the Board approve the date of the January 2015 board meeting as January 20, 2015.

Attachment

Statistic update for the 2013 Annual Security Report and Crime Statistics

Page 59 Crime on Campus

The federal Clery Act requires Merced College to provide additional information to the community. Crimes that must be reported are murder, manslaughter, sex offenses (forcible and non-forcible), robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, and arson. In addition, Merced College must report "arrests or disciplinary referrals for liquor, drug and weapons offenses" and hate crimes by classification.

Crimes that fall under the Clery Act requirement must also be reported by location of occurrence: on campus, residence community, non-campus buildings or property, and public property (streets, sidewalks, parking lots -adjacent to the campus.)

Crime Statistics

Enacted in 1990, the Campus Security Act requires all colleges and universities that receive Federal Student Aid funds to release their security policies and the three most recent years of crimes statistics for homicide, manslaughter, sex offenses (forcible and non-forcible), robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, and arson. It also requires that schools provide statistics for arrests for liquor law violations, drug violations, and weapons possession, and classified hate crimes.

Records of crime on campus and crime data are available upon request at the Campus Police Department. The crime data is available annually to staff and students via mccd.edu or upon request to Campus Police.

Page 74 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE 3518 - Child Abuse Reporting Reference: Penal Code Section 261, 264.1, 273a, 273d, 285, 286, 288, 288a, 289, 647a, and 11164-11174.3; Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 300, 318, and 601; Family Code Sections 7802, 7807, 7808, 7820-7829, 7890, and 7892

The Merced Community College District recognizes the responsibility of its staff to report to the appropriate agency when there is a reasonable suspicion that an abuse or neglect of a child may have occurred. Mandated reporters include faculty, educational administrators and classified staff.

Child Abuse is defined as physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse and/or emotional maltreatment. This procedure addresses the sexual assault, sexual exploitation, and/or sexual abuse of a child; the willful cruelty or unjustifiable punishment of a child; incidents of corporal punishment or injury against a child; abuse in out-of-home care; and the severe and/or general neglect of a child (definitions contained in Penal Code Section 11165).

“Reasonable suspicion” occurs when “it is objectively reasonable for a person to entertain such a suspicion, based upon facts that could cause a reasonable person in a like position drawing when appropriate on his or her training and experience, to suspect child abuse” (Penal code Section 11166(a)).

A Child protective agency is a police or sheriff’s department, county probation department, or a county welfare department. School district police or security departments are not child protective agencies (Penal Code Section 11165.9).

Any person not mandated by law to report suspected child abuse has immunity unless the report is proven to be false and the person reporting knows it is false, or the report is made with reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the incident. Reporting is an individual responsibility. An employee making a report cannot be required to disclose his or her identity to the employer (Penal Code Section 1116[f]). However, a person who fails to make a required report is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to six (6) months in jail and/or up to a $1,000 fine (Penal Code Section 11172(e)).

Mandated reporters must report immediately any reasonable suspicion of child abuse to a local child protective agency and follow up with a written report within 36 hours: Merced City Police Department or Merced County Sheriff’s Department.

Child abuse reporting forms are available at the Merced College Police Department.

No mandated reporter who reports a known or suspected instance of child abuse shall be civilly or criminally liable for any report required or authorized by the Penal Code.

Page 75 Any person other than a child care custodian reporting a known or suspected instance of child abuse shall not incur any liability as a result of making any report of child abuse, unless it can be proven that a false report was made and the person knew that the report was false. (Penal Code Section 11172(a)).

If a school official releases a minor pupil to a peace officer for the purpose of removing the minor from the campus, the district official shall take immediate steps to notify the parent or guardian regarding the release of the minor to the officer, and regarding the place to which the minor is reportedly being taken (Education Code Section 87044), except when a minor has been taken into custody as a victim of suspected child abuse, as defined in Section 11165 of the Penal Code or pursuant to Section 305 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. In those cases, the official shall provide the peace officer with the address and telephone number of the minor’s parent or guardian.

Non-accidental physical injury is considered to be a health and safety emergency, and parental consent is not required for release of student information under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, or the California Student Records Act (Ed Code Section 76200 et seq.).

Information relevant to the incident of child abuse may be given to an investigator from a child protective agency who is investigating the known or suspected cause of child abuse (Penal Code Section 11167b).

The District shall provide a mandated reporter with a statement informing the employee that he/she is a mandated reporter and inform the employee of his/her reporting obligations under Penal Code Section 11166 and his/her confidentiality rights under subdivision (d) of Penal Code Section 11167. The District shall provide a copy of Penal Code Sections 11165.7, 11166, and 11167 to the employee. Prior to commencing his/her employment and as a prerequisite to that employment, employee shall sign and return the statement to the District. The signed statements shall be retained by the District (Penal Code Section 11166.5)

The District will distribute this procedure to all employees.

Page 77 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE 3520 - Local Law Enforcement

Reference: Education Code Section 67381 34 Code of Federal Regulations Part 668-46(b)(4)

Merced College Campus and the Los Banos Campus have a written agreement with local law enforcement agencies. The agreement clarifies operational responsibilities for investigations of Part I violent crimes, defined by law as willful homicide, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, occurring at each location.

The written agreement designates which law enforcement agency has operational responsibility for violent crimes and delineates the specific geographical boundaries of each agency’s operational responsibility, including maps as necessary.

The written agreements required by the Board policy are public records and are made available for inspection by members of the public upon request to Merced College Police Department.

The Merced Community College District Police Department maintains a close working relationship with the Merced County Sheriff’s Department. The District Police Department occasionally works with other law enforcement agencies, including Merced City Police Department. Meetings may be held between the leaders of these agencies on both a formal and informal basis. The District Police Department, Merced County Sheriff’s Department and Merced City Police Department communicate regularly on the scene of incidents that occur in and around the campus area. When incidents arise that require joint investigative efforts, resources, crime related reports and exchanges of information, the District Police Department will work closely with Merced County Sheriff’s and Merced City Police Department. There is a written memorandum of understanding between the District Police Department and Merced County Sheriff’s Department.

In response to a call, the Campus Police Department will take the required action, dispatching an officer or asking the victim to file an incident report. All incident reports received by the Campus Police Department are forwarded to the Vice President of Student Services for review and potential action. The Campus Police Department may investigate a report when it is deemed appropriate.

Crimes should be reported to the District Police Department to ensure inclusions in the annual crime statistics and to aid in providing timely warning notices to the community, when appropriate.

Page 78 Community members, students, faculty, staff, and guests are encouraged to report all crimes and public safety related incidents to the District Police Department in a timely manner. To report a crime or an emergency on the Merced Campus or Business Resource Center, call the District Police Department. To report a crime or emergency on the Los Banos Campus, call the Los Banos Police Officer.

The District Police have complete police authority to apprehend and arrest anyone involved in illegal acts on-campus and areas immediately adjacent to the campus. If minor offenses involving District rules and regulations are committed by a student, the campus police may also refer the individual to the Vice President of Student Services. Major offenses such as rape, murder, aggravated assault, robbery, and auto theft are reported to the local law enforcement and the District Police Department and local law enforcement work together to solve these serious felony crimes. District Police personnel work closely with local, state, and federal police agencies. The District Police Department is also a part of the local 911 Emergency System. Through coordination with local law enforcement agencies, any criminal activity engaged in by students at off-campus locations of student organization, is monitored and recorded. This information is provided to the Vice President of Student Services for any action or follow-up that may be required.

Security officers have the authority to ask persons for identification and to determine whether individuals have lawful business at the District. Safety and Security officers do not possess arrest power. Criminal incidents are referred to the local law enforcement officers who have jurisdiction on the campus. The District maintains a highly professional working relationship with the Merced County Sheriff Department. All crime victims and witnesses are strongly encouraged to immediately report the crime to campus Security Services Office and the appropriate police agency. Prompt reporting will assure timely warning notices on-campus and timely disclosure of crime statistics.

Campus “Pastoral Counselors” and Campus “Professional Counselors,” when acting as such, are not considered to be campus security officers and are not required to report crimes for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics. As a matter of policy, they are encouraged, if and when they deem it appropriate, to inform persons being counseled of the procedures to report crimes on a voluntary basis for inclusion into the annual crime statistics.

A Pastoral Counselor is a person who is associated with a religious order or denomination, recognized by that religious order or denomination as someone who provides confidential counseling and who is functioning within the scope of that recognition as a pastoral counselor.

Page 79 A Professional Counselor is an employee of a District whose official responsibilities include providing psychological counseling to members of the District’s community and who is functioning within the scope of his or her license or certification.

All reports will be investigated. The District does not have procedures for voluntary, confidential reporting of crime statistics. Violations of the law will be referred to law enforcement agencies and when appropriate, to the District’s Disciplinary Committee for review. When a potentially dangerous threat to the District’s community arises, timely reports or warnings will be issued through e- mail announcements, the posting of flyers at local campuses, in-class announcements, or other appropriate means.

Page 107 BOARD POLICY 7214 CONTRACT FACULTY HIRING CRITERIA

Reference: Educational Code; Sections 87001, 87360, 87470 Title 5 Regulations; 53200, 53203, 53204

It is the policy of the Merced Community College District that faculty hiring procedures and guidelines be established to provide for college faculties of highly qualified people who are experts in their subject areas, who are skilled in teaching and serving the needs of a varied student population, who can foster overall college effectiveness, and who are sensitive to and themselves represent the racial and cultural diversity of the adult population of the state of California.

The Board represented by the administration has the principal legal and public responsibility to ensure an effective hiring process. The faculty represented by the Academic Senate has an inherent professional responsibility in the development and implementation of policies and procedures governing the hiring process which is to ensure the quality of its faculty peers.

District hiring procedures are based on recognition that responsibility for selecting these well qualified people is shared cooperatively by both faculty members and college administrators, participating effectively in all appropriate phases of the hiring process. The procedures should include identifying areas of anticipated growth which then provides overall direction in hiring; identifying a priority of positions based upon a qualitative and quantitative analysis within the College; following the District Faculty and Staff Diversity Plans; reviewing and formulating job descriptions; advertising positions; screening; interviewing; and recommending candidates.

Beyond requiring a joint cooperative exercise of responsibility, the hiring process should be focused on ensuring that Merced College selects professors who can teach and who are experts in the subject matter of their curriculum; and counselors, librarians, and other instructional and student services faculty who can foster community college effectiveness and who are experts in the subject matter of their specialties.

Additionally, it will be the policy of the Board, in consultation with the Academic Senate, to review the hiring procedures annually.

See Administrative Procedure 7214

Adopted 5/7/91 Revised 5/26/11 Revised 6/19/12

Page 108 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE 7214 – CONTRACT FACULTY HIRING CRITERIA

EEO Procedure An EEO committee shall be established by the Superintendent/President. The Superintendent/President shall consult with the Academic Senate on the membership of this committee professors, counselors, and librarians. Members of the EEO committee shall receive appropriate training and they, or trained monitors, shall be expected to observe the process used by selection committees. The EEO officer, or one member of the EEO committee, may serve as a consultant for the District hiring process. Additionally, the EEO officer, or designee, shall be responsible for monitoring other EEO procedures as described in the Merced College Faculty and Staff Diversity Plan, including but not limited to a review of the job descriptions and announcements, composition and procedures of selection committees, and the adequacy of the applicant pool.

All participants in the process of hiring faculty or on the hiring committee shall be given appropriate orientation in EEO procedures and an understanding of the EEO goals and timetables of the Merced College Faculty and Staff Diversity Plan so that success in reaching those goals may be better assured. The Office of Human Resources shall ensure that the selection committee is ethnically diverse as well as knowledgeable about, and responsive to, the Merced College Faculty and Staff Diversity Plan.

Procedure for Evaluation of Staffing Needs The need for contract faculty positions shall be cooperatively determined, through a well-defined, thoughtful planning process involving college administrators, the academic senate, and faculty in the subject area discipline. The process to determine if faculty positions are to be recommended should, for instance incorporate numerical ratios of full-time faculty to part-time faculty, appropriate growth data from departments or divisions, quantifiable needs in recruiting part-time faculty, and other such evidence that may be appropriate. The raw data generated shall be developed into appropriate information showing or describing patterns that may be used to generate recommendations for faculty hiring. The recommendations for hiring would be developed and forwarded to the Board through a process agreed to by the administration and the Academic Senate. (see Appendix A) (see INSTRUCTIONAL, LIBRARIAN, AND COUNSELING CONTRACT FACULTY PRIORITIZATION CALENDAR).

The gathering of the data and information relative to faculty positions should be concluded before the start of the budget cycle in order to include the recommendations the Board may make in the development of the college budget.

Procedure for Prioritization of Contract Faculty Hires A Hiring prioritization committee will develop a priority listing for new faculty positions based on data-base process developed by the administration in consultation with the Academic Senate. The prioritization would include only contract faculty. Counselors,

Page 109 librarians, and other instructional and student services faculty will use a similar hiring prioritization with their respective Vice-Presidents. An individual (supervisor, manager, dean, faculty member or designee) requesting a new faculty member would be offered an opportunity to present his/her request to the faculty hiring prioritizing committee.

If modifications to the list are recommended by the Superintendent/President then the rationale for modification, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative data shall be communicated to the staff priorities committee and the Academic Senate in both verbal and written form. The Superintendent/President shall present the final list of recommendations to the Board. Upon Board approval the search process shall begin.

In the event that the disciplined faculty of an area dean does not submit entries into the process, the Dean shall seek assurances from the discipline indicating that they do not have a request at this time. If this process does not provide an appropriate response, then the Dean shall work with the Academic Senate to obtain the appropriate data and information.

Search Procedures The appropriate area dean and faculty lead, as well as at least one administrator or certificated manager from the area for which the position will be hired, and the Human Resources Supervisor will work together to develop the faculty position announcement and qualifications once Board approval has been granted.

The minimum qualifications adopted by the Board of Governors may not be reduced by this requirement. However, through this process the minimum qualifications may be broadened or raised. A Course/Discipline List developed by the Academic Senate and the Office of Instruction and approved by the Board that matches the District's course offerings with the Disciplines List of Minimum Qualifications adopted by the Board of Governors shall be consulted when developing the job qualifications and position announcement. Job qualifications must include, “sensitivity to and an understanding of the diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural, disability and ethnic backgrounds of community college students.”

Additional qualifications may include the following:

• Academic qualifications beyond the minimum set by law and regulation if these qualifications would provide the basis for better teaching or other service;

• Measures of pedagogical skill such as evaluations of prior experience, education course work, or demonstrations of effectiveness as a teacher, counselor, librarian, or other faculty member; and

• Specific preparation to offer instruction or other service narrower in scope than a discipline. (For example, when hiring someone to teach piano, the college would

Page 110 require not only qualifications to teach music, but specific qualifications to teach piano.)

Clear and complete job specifications, including all job related skill requirements and any additional qualifications recommended by the faculty, appropriate administrator or certificated manager are prepared for each position. The job specifications are reviewed by the EEO officer before each position is announced to ensure conformity with the college's EEO and nondiscrimination commitments.

It is the intent of the District that approval of open positions and initiation of the hiring process be early enough in the year to allow for all procedures to be undertaken in a thorough and thoughtful manner, ensuring that the hiring process is completed during the academic year, and well in advance of employment. Whenever possible, the length of the advertising period should be six weeks, to allow for adequate distribution and response and to help obtain larger and more balanced applicant pools.

Selection Committee Procedure The composition of the selection committee shall include 4 faculty members appointed by the academic senate in consultation with the faculty of the discipline or subject area. The faculty lead or designee shall be one of the faculty members; the area dean or educational administrator shall be one of the members. One member from the EEO committee shall be appointed by the academic senate to each selection committee. The Academic Senate may also appoint a classified member or student representative to the committee. The district EEO officer or designee, who is not a voting member of the selection committee, shall review the composition of the committee and has the prerogative to add additional members to the committee to meet EEO guidelines. If the committee representation is still not balanced, then the EEO officer, or designee, shall present such evidence to the Superintendent/President together with recommendations for restructuring the committee composition. Upon recommendation of the EEO officer or designee the Superintendent/President and the Academic Senate shall work cooperatively to garner appropriate committee representation.

All members of the selection committee shall be oriented in the EEO goals and procedures of the District. Attached at Appendix B is the complete set of steps involved in the hiring process. The initial meeting of this committee shall be arranged by the Human Resources Supervisor, or designee prior to paper screening. The committee, at its first meeting, shall:

• Select a committee chair, who may be a faculty member. • Orient committee with EEO laws. • Formulate interview questions to ensure a thorough assessment of the qualifications, including the teaching demonstration topic. • Modify applicant rating sheet to tailor for each particular job description (previous rating form may be referenced).

Page 111 • Establish meeting dates

Each individual employed must possess qualifications that are at least equivalent to the applicable minimum qualifications specified in regulations adopted by the Board of Governors. If a candidate does not have the minimum qualifications but, has background that the selection committee believes is equivalent, then the Equivalence Procedure will be followed. This should be done before the candidate is granted an interview.

The responsibilities of the selection committee are to: • Review all completed applications; • Evaluate each candidates application materials in regard to subject area knowledge and competency, teaching and communication skills, commitment to professional growth and service, potential for overall college effectiveness, and sensitivity to and understanding of the diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural, disability, and ethnic backgrounds of the District's students; • Provide for appropriate teaching demonstrations, writing samples, and/or other performance indicators related to the subject area; • Select for interview those candidates who are most suitable; • Conduct interviews and use a rating system to evaluate responses; • Individual committee members must be present for each interview in order to participate in the evaluation of candidates; and • Conduct teaching demonstrations; • Maintain confidentiality of materials and information about candidates.

All selection procedures are subject to review by the EEO officer, who, in turn, may recommend modifications to the procedures.

The chair shall lead the committee discussion regarding strengths and weaknesses of the candidates and summarize committee rankings. The committee may include rankings and/or written comments for each candidate as a further means of communicating its recommendations.

From among those interviewed and considered well qualified, the committee shall select 0-4 (zero or up to four) candidates per position opening for final interviews. The candidates forwarded shall be the most suitable to fulfill the requirements of the faculty position. If the committee cannot recommend any of the applicants then normally the hiring process shall be reopened.

The appropriate Vice President and Chair and or dean (provided dean is not chair) shall review the selection committee's final recommendation and may interview the finalists and conduct additional reference confirmations.

Page 112 Upon the recommendations of the Vice President and Chair and or dean, reference confirmations will be performed by Human Resources and may include academic background, professional experience, and personal qualities relevant to performance in the faculty position.

Final hiring decisions by the Superintendent/President are, whenever reasonably possible, made during the regular academic year and promptly communicated to the faculty. Only in exceptional circumstances and for compelling reasons, communicated to the selection committee and the Academic Senate President, will someone be hired as a faculty member who has not been found to be among the most suitable by the selection committee

The selection of the finalist to be recommended to the Board shall be made by the Superintendent/President. If exceptional circumstances and compelling reasons exist why the Superintendent/President cannot chose any of the final candidates recommended, then he/she shall meet with the selection committee to discuss these issues. If the selection committee and the Superintendent/President cannot reach agreement as to a candidate, then the Superintendent/President shall put his/her objection in writing to the selection committee and the Academic Senate President and the position may, if necessary, be reopened.

Procedure for Hiring Replacement Faculty, Expanding Programs, and New Programs When a faculty member leaves the College through retirement or for other reasons, the discipline faculty along with area dean may submit quantitative and qualitative information as to why a replacement or expanding program is necessary. The same process as used for the hiring of new faculty shall be used to gather data and information relative to the replacement of faculty. Then the process previously described for the hiring of new faculty shall be followed. (See appendix A for prioritization process)

If a discipline faculty and or area dean would like a new program requiring additional faculty members, then that position shall be submitted to the new faculty hiring process previously described.

Procedure for Hiring Contract Faculty with Special Funding: Non-Tenure Track The Board authorizes the employment of personnel for specially funded programs under provisions of education Code Section 87470. The process of hiring faculty into programs funded through special funding shall be the same as the process for hiring any new contract faculty member. If the normal faculty hiring prioritization process, previously described, is not followed then the President of the Academic Senate shall be informed, in written and verbal form, as to the rational for the decision outside the normal process by the Superintendent/President. The rational shall be reviewed by the

Page 113 Academic Senate with any recommendations communicated to the Administration and or the Board.

In addition, specially funded personnel shall be informed in writing of the special terms and conditions of employment, including a statement that such employment will be terminated at the end of the special funding and that such employment shall not be included in computing service required for attainment of a classification as a tenure track employee of the District.

Hiring Temporary Full-Time Faculty: Long Term Substitute The same procedures used for hiring contract faculty will be used for hiring temporary full- time faculty with the following exceptions:

• The position may be requested at any time during the year on an as-needed basis by the discipline faculty via the dean. • The position request shall address the reasons for filling the position in a temporary status; i.e. full-time faculty leave replacement, unexpected resignation or departure of a full-time faculty member, or unexpected program growth necessitating expansion of department. • The discipline requesting the position will do so via a letter to the appropriate Vice President. • The appropriate Vice President will inform the Senate President and the College Superintendent/President of his or her recommendation regarding filling the position. • The Senate President will send his or her comments of support or non-support regarding the Vice President’s recommendation to the Superintendent/President. • The Superintendent/President will review both the Vice President and Senate President’s recommendation and make a decision whether or not to hire under this provision. • Outside of the academic year, requests go to the appropriate Vice President who will confer with the Senate President and both parties will make a recommendation to the Superintendent/President. • The finalists shall be interviewed by the appropriate Vice President or his or her designee and, with consent of the President; an offer will be made once the assignment is confirmed from the District.

Procedure for Administrator Hiring The definition of an administrator, in accordance with Education Code 87001 (a) and concurrence with current local practice, is an individual who is employed by the District in a certificated supervisory or management position. This interpretation is taken to mean those positions that the District, through its history, have considered, by designation to be administrative or management positions. (BP 7250)

Page 114 The Superintendent/President and/or designee will consult the Academic Senate and the Hiring Priorities Committee when the administration deems it necessary to replace or add an administrative position.

In the event that the position of Superintendent/President is being filled then the process/procedure in Board Policy (2431) shall be followed.

Procedure for Review and Revision This hiring policy and its procedures are subject to review and revision at the request of the Academic Senate, the Administration, or the Board. Should the Academic Senate, the Administration, or the Board indicate a need to modify this policy, the parties will endeavor to reach mutual agreement of said modification. The Board of Trustees has final authority to retain or modify this policy relative to Title 5 Regulations 53200 - 53204.

Page 129 Appendix A-Glossary of data terms Glossary of Data Terms 1. Total student CAP is the number of enrollment positions available for the sections offered. 2. Percent Filled is the percentage of the total student CAP taken up by the total enrollment. It is calculated by dividing the total enrollment by the total student CAP. 3. WSCH (weekly student contact hours), WSCH is calculated by multiplying the number of students in a class at census by the number of hours per week the class meets. WSCH is used to calculate the full time equivalent student (FTES), which is used to determine how the college is paid apportionment. 4. FTEF-FT is the full time (contract) faculty number based on the full time equivalent faculty (not headcount). For example, there may be 4 headcount faculty in a department. If 3 of the faculty teach full time and one has 50% reassign time, then the FTEF is 3.5. 5. FTEF- FTOL is the sum of the overload of the contract faculty based on full time equivalent faculty (not headcount). For example, there may be 4 contract each teaching 0.20 (20%); the FTEF-FTOL would be 0.80 or 0.20 x 4 = 0.80. 6. FTEF-PT is the sum of the part time (adjunct) load based on the full time equivalent faculty (not headcount). For example, there may be 4 adjunct each teaching 0.20 (20%); the FTEF- PT would be 0.80 or 0.20 x 4 = 0.80. 7. TOTAL FTEF is the sum of all the teaching load in full time equivalent faculty. In other words the sum of FTEF-FT, FTEF-FTOL, and FTEF-PT. 8. PRODUCTIVITY is a measurement of efficiency. It is calculated by dividing the weekly student contact hour (WSCH) by the full time equivalent faculty figure (FTEF-FT or FTEF- FTOL, or FTEF-PT depending upon who is teaching the class). The state bases its productivity on a full time student and is identified as 525. The productivity varies by discipline. Generally speaking the productivity of science classes will be 600+ and the smaller classes, English will be about 450. These figures vary because the number of students in the class and the number of hours per week a class meets varies. Classes below 400 would be a concern to the college. 9. PERCENT FTEF-FT is the percent of full-time (contract) faculty relative to the TOTAL FTEF. For example if the TOTAL FTEF is 100 and the FTEF-FT is 20, then the PERCENT FTEF-FT is 20% or 20/100 x 100 = 20%. 10. PERCENT FTEF-FT OL is the percent of overload of full time (contract) faculty relative to the TOTAL FTEF. For example if the TOTAL FTEF is 100 and the FTEF-FTOL is 20, then the PERCENT FTEF-FT is 20% or 20/100 x 100 = 20%.%. 11. PERCENT FTEF-PT is the percent of FTEF that part-time (contract) faculty represent relative to the TOTAL FTEF required to teach the program courses. For example if the TOTAL FTEF is 100 and the FTEF-PT is 20, then the PERCENT FTEF-PT is 20% or 20/100 x 100 = 20%.%. 12. Total FTES represents the sum of all the full time equivalent students for all the classes. FTES is used to determine how Merced is paid apportionment. 13. Average FTES per section is determined by adding up all the FTES for a discipline and dividing by the number of sections offered. For example, if there are 220 sections of all

Page 130 types of English classes with a total FTES of 550, the Average FTES is 550/220= 2.5. Some sections may have a higher FTES while others have a lower figure, but, the average for the discipline is 2.5. Rule of thumb is that a 3 unit lecture class should yield 3 FTES. 14. Degrees awarded represent the number of degrees the college issues for a discipline. Realize that students must apply for a degree. It is possible student earn enough units for a degree, but do not apply. This is comment in the sciences because the number of units needed for a degree is greater than a 4 year college will accept. Thus, most science student transfer after they earn enough units to transfer and complete their general education at the 4 year institution. 15. Certificates awarded represent the number of certificates the college issues for a discipline. Realize that students must apply for a certificate. It is possible student earn enough units for a certificate, but do not apply. Most certificates are in the vocational programs. Realize there are 2 types of certificates, those greater than 18 units (Certificate of Achievement), but less than an associate degree and those less than 18 units. By law, Merced is only allowed to transcribe Certificate of Achievements on student transcripts. Thus, certificates less than 18 units will not be seen in the count of certificates awarded. 16. Attrition% – is the percentage of students who drop out of class. This is calculated by dividing the number of students not completing the class by the number of students at census and multiplying by 100. 17. Retention% represents the percentage of students retained for the semester. It is calculated by dividing the number of students earning a grade of A,B,C,D,F,CR,NC,I,P,NP by the number of students earning a grad of A,B,C,D,F,CR,NC,W,I,P,NP,DR. The difference between retention and success is that the numerator of success is limited to passing grades. Thus, success tends to be a lower number than retention. 18. Success% represents the percentage of students who successfully complete a class. It is calculated by dividing the number of students earning A,B,C,CR,P by the number of students earning a grade of A,B,C,D,F,CR,NC,W,I,P,NP,DR. The difference between retention and success is that the numerator of success is limited to passing grades. Thus, success tends to be a lower number than retention.

Page 140 To Dr. Taylor and Board of Trustees From: Mary Gilliland (Vice President of Instruction) and Julie Clark (Curriculum Chair) Subject: Associate Degrees for Transfer Update and Fall 2014 Deadline Date: November 18, 2014

This memorandum provides updated information regarding the progress Merced College is making in meeting the Board of Governors AA-T and AS-T goal of offering 100 percent by Fall 2014.

AA-T AND AS-T GOALS AND CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT On May 22, 2012, then Chancellor Jack Scott, issued a statewide memorandum indicating,

“To spur progress toward this objective [AA-T and AS-T development], the California Community Colleges Board of Governors has adopted a goal of each college having AA-T and AS-T degrees approved by Fall of 2013 in 80 percent of the majors they offer in which there is a TMC and in 100 percent by Fall of 2014. While this goal is ambitious, it is imperative that we move rapidly to help more students move efficiently through our two systems because too many students are being shut out by California’s current budget situation.”

(TMC stands for “Transfer Model Curriculum, a lower division course pattern agreed to for each field of study by appropriate faculty at the California State University.)

As colleges moved forward, the Chancellor’s Office created an “AA-T and AS-T Certification Form” due by January 31, 2013, see Appendix A. At Merced College we certified that we would be offering 17 of the 22 degrees by Fall 2014. The remaining five degrees were for programs in which we currently do not offer an AA/AS TMC-aligned degree, these included Art History, Geography, Journalism, Political Science, and Sociology.

The development of TMC’s did not stop after January 31, 2013. As the state finalized more of these degrees, they referred to these as “Pollution” degrees. A second form of “Pollution” is for a degree that the college added for which there was no AA/AS-aligned degree. An example of this for Merced College would be the AA-T Sociology, since we do not have an AA in Sociology.
