Council met on Monday to review slates of faculty candidates for the upcoming fall-spring semesters. Additionally, we reviewed changes and updates to:
- Faculty template used by Human Resources to advertise faculty positions.
- AP 157 – a reformed Safety Committee following a splitting of the old Safety and Security Committee into two separate bodies. Particular emphasis in the changes was to make certain HACC was in compliance with current Federal and State labor laws and regulations.
- Receipt of a Student Success Initiative Report from ASPA.
Council met on Wednesday for two purposes: conclude business for this academic year; reform under the newly elected leadership for the upcoming academic year. Of particular interest was the review and approval of an updated AP 663, Appeal of Academic Decisions. This AP is the result of the work effort of two faculty and and two deans, intended to clarify and streamline the appeal process under the newly reorganized HACC structure. Pay particular attention to this AP when it emerges in its final form from the college review and approval process.
Council will hold a retreat on a date-to-be-determined during the week prior to the start of the fall semester. The purpose will be to inform new members and establish faculty goals and objectives for the 2009-2010 academic year.
Have a great summer!
