MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1998
BOARD ROOM

Carolyn Henry, Carla Hogan, Jim Jory, Carolyn Keefe, Ron Lafreniere, Cheryl Laufle, Marcia
Liaw, Marilu Neally, Larry Packwood, Sally Rollman, Bob Shields, Barbara Snow, David Starr,

WELCOME

Carolyn Henry welcomed the division members and introduced the following new faculty
members: Jerry Baker, Purchasing Management; Bob Shields, Computer Applications; Cheryl
Laufle, Business Administration; and Gail Dalton, Business Technology. Marilu Neally was
introduced as the new division secretary.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION

President Gary Oertli was introduced and made a special presentation to Ron Lafreniere for his 30
years of service to Shoreline Community College.

FURNITURE FOR 1200 BUILDING

The furniture for Room 1202 will be shipped from Wisconsin on October 2. For Fall Quarter, the
computer classes in 1202 will be moved to 2402, and the lecture classes in 2402 will be moved to
1202. Carolyn has been in contact with the Media Center to obtain a projection system, a VCR,
and a monitor for 1202. No decision has been made about when or if these classes will return to
their original rooms during fall quarter. No announcement has been made on when balancing the
ventilator system in 1200 building will occur. Carolyn will check on this and report back.

CURRICULUM REVISION – COSMETOLOGY

Debbie Fischer and Tina Clark reported on curriculum revisions they worked on for Cosmetology
during the summer on extended contract. These revisions will allow a student to complete the
course in four quarters rather than six, and all students will receive a certificate. This new
curriculum will be more competitive with other cosmetology programs and will begin Fall Quarter
1998. Cosmetology will now run year-round which means that clients will not be lost during class
breaks. A proposed calendar for 1998-1999 was distributed. Debbie and Tina are still working on
the high school program.

Holly Moore and Larry Reid have already approved these changes. Sally, Debbie, and Tina will
need to present them to the Curriculum Council during Fall Quarter for final approval.

Ron Lafreniere moved and Karen Toreson seconded a motion that all these changes be approved.
During the discussion, Jim Jory asked about staffing of the salon when Debbie and Tina are not
under contract. Staffing for this position is still under discussion and will be sent to the Federation
for their input. The motion passed unanimously.

NEED FOR ADVISORS

Carolyn asked for volunteers for advising.

Phyllis Topham will advise on September 23 at 10:30 a.m.
Carla Hogan will advise on September 28 from 5-6 p.m.
Barbara Snow will advise on September 29 from 5-6 p.m.

It was suggested that the Business Division be excused from advising on September 25 since this
is when Carolyn Henry’s retirement party is being held.

ELECTION OF ASSISTANT DIVISION CHAIR FOR FALL QUARTER 1998

Larry Reid has instructed Carolyn to hold an election for an Assistant Division Chair to replace
Sally Rollman during Fall Quarter 1998. Jim Jory nominated Tina Clark for this position. Bob
Shields moved that the nominations be closed. The motion passed and was declared a unanimous
decision.

ELECTION OF TENURE REVIEW COMMITTEE FOR BOB SHIELDS

The Business Division faculty nominated Dan Flynn, Phyllis Topham, and Larry Packwood as
their representatives for Bob Shields’s Appointment Review Committee. It was moved and
seconded that a unanimous vote for these three division representatives be cast. Motion carried.

ELECTION OF DIVISIONAL REPRESENTATIVES

A new Business Division representative is needed on the SCCFT Executive Board, which meets
most Thursday from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. Its focus is on contractual matters. Karen Toreson
volunteered to serve on this board during Fall Quarter 1998.

Larry Packwood has served as the divisional representative on the Faculty Senate for the past two
years and would like to be replaced. The Faculty Senate meets the second and fourth Wednesdays
from 2 to 3:30 p.m., and their focus is on academics. Carla nominated Barbara Snow for this

EXTRA CONTRACT DAYS AND COMMITTEES

These forms have already been placed in faculty mailboxes. Please fill them out and return them
to Sally Rollman this week. It was suggested that a chair be designated for each committee.

Jim Jory reminded faculty that there are six guerilla days per year. These are extra contract days
that should be identified on the form. Advising days and attendance at professional conferences
and at Shoreline’s graduation count for these guerilla days.

Because of the new budget process and its relationship to program planning, all faculty members
serve on the budget committee.

BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY/BUSINESS COMPUTERS STUDY CENTER

The new Business Technology /Business Computer Study Center in the newly remodeled 1200
Building is a response to the state auditor’s mandate that one additional hour be arranged for
BusTc 100 Keyboarding and BusCP 105 Business Computer Applications in order to fulfill state
requirements.

Professional/ Technical students have requested tutoring for their courses. Karen Toreson
announced that Gail Dalton will be tutoring in the new Business Technology/Business Computer
Study Center for 20 hours per week and will be paid for this from Holly Moore’s budget. This
Study Center is designated for professional/technical students and is not an “open lab” time.
Students in Business Computer classes will be asked to log in their time so a record can be
compiled.

COMPUTER TECHNICIAN REPLACEMENT

Discussion was held on the possibility of converting the O.A. II position that Toby Salerno had
into an Instructional Tech position to help the faculty with computer-related situations in the
Business Division. This new Instructional Tech position would be funded from Business Division
funds and jointly managed with Technical Support Services. This person would work a variable
schedule, possibly late afternoon and early evening hours.

Concern was expressed that the money and services for this position might be diverted to
Technical Support Services.

Karen Toreson moved and Phyllis Topham seconded the motion to reclassify the current O.A. II
position to an Instructional Tech position and that a job description be submitted to the Business
Administration Division. Motion passed unanimously. Marcia Liaw and Karen Toreson will
continue working on this.

EVENING HOURLY

There may be money available for an hourly to work some evening hours. The evening hourly
person will support the Business Technology Center and the rest of the division. Marcia will work
on this. Carolyn will check with Ruth Clark and Paulette Fleming further on this.

RETIREMENT PARTY FOR CAROLYN HENRY

Campus wide notices have been sent for Carolyn’s retirement party on Friday, September 25,
from 10:00 a.m.to noon in the 1000 Building. Sally expressed appreciation for the help she has
received in planning this party for Carolyn.

UPDATE ON WEB PROGRAM

Karen Toreson reported that the program is moving ahead. Dan Flynn and Phyllis Topham are
working on new classes and collaborating with VCT and Humanities faculty. Another DACUM
will be held this fall. Equipment for this program has been purchased and is being stored in the
1600 Building.

BUSINESS DIVISION MEETINGS FOR 1998-1999

Business Division meetings have been held for a number of years on the first Friday of each
month starting around 12:30 p.m. after most classes end on Fridays. Ron Lafreniere proposed
that division meetings be held on days other than on Friday afternoons. Carla suggested that
meetings start at 6:30 a.m. This topic will be discussed further at the next division meeting in
November. There will be no division meeting on Friday, October 2 (next week).

PROGRAM PLANNING

Chuck Fields was introduced to lead the discussion on the Program Planning/Assessment and
Budgeting process for 1999-2000. Chuck distributed timelines and discussed the prior history of
this process. He indicated that the procedure would be split into two sections rather than all being
done as one activity last year. The first section will deal with program planning and assessment
and will be completed during fall quarter. Budget planning will take place during Winter Quarter
1999. Administrative responses to the planning done by programs during fall quarter will be
returned to each program by February 1 along with the budget requests materials. Carla Hogan
indicated that it would be helpful if statistics were provided to our programs as we work through
this process.

BUSINESS DIVISION MINUTES
September 21, 1998
Page 5

The following were suggestions from Chuck for completing the Program Planning/Assessment
and Budgeting forms:

1. Review Shoreline’s mission statement/purpose. The Strategic Planning Committee will

distribute materials for the 1999-2000 planning period. Connect the Strategic Plan to the
budgeting process.
2. Each program should establish its own measure of effectiveness.
3. Use statistics to show enrollment and staffing trends.
4. Determine what factors can affect the program. Look to the future and consider trends.
5. For self-assessment, use the three external reviews from last year. Be sure to use the same
wording used for accreditation purposes.
6. Report on the goals set last year and whether or not they have been met.
7. Set attainable goals.
8. Make a complete list of the people in each program who participated in this process.
9. Be collaborative and involve everyone.
10. A draft will be distributed campus-wide for comments.
Concern was expressed that the prioritized division requests were changed at the next level of
participation. This was noticed and recognized as being a major problem in the whole process.
Chuck will pass this concern along. Budgeting will be done on a yearly basis, as this is more
responsive to changes. The goal is for zero base budgeting for 2000-2001.

14. OTHER BUSINESS

Faculty in Computer Applications and Business Technology will meet this Wednesday from 2:30
to 4:00 p.m.

No dates have been announced by Holly Moore’s office for program reviews during 1998-1999,
but we anticipate being asked to do them this academic year for Purchasing, Accounting, and
Computer Applications.

The meeting ended with division members sharing how they spent their summer.

The meeting adjourned at 2:45 p.m.

VISITOR: Sandra Kirk Roston, Counseling Center

LIBRARY/MEDIA CENTER

John Backes, Library Director, discussed the implementation of Voyager, which is a

24-hour tool to view the Library/Media Center’s database. Anyone wishing this
information may access it through the Web by typing www.endinfosys.com with full
implementation expected during Spring Quarter. The magazine index, Proquest Direct,
can be found using www.umi.com , which searches approximately 2,900 magazines with
1,400 in full text and the remainder with bibliographic citations. There is a business
module within Proquest Direct titled Washington State News Stand that lists 240
business-related periodical titles. This also lists 17 Washington state newspapers, as
well as the Puget Sound Business Journal beginning with 1985. To access this service
from a home computer, type in PXWWWSXGMV and use the password welcome.

John James is offering one-hour training seminars for students, faculty, and staff in
Room 161. The reservation list is kept at the Reference Desk, or you may call
546-4406 to make an appointment. It is possible to download information to an e-mail
account or to a disk. John has purchased numerous books on business careers and
has a film list available.

INSTRUCTIONAL TECH REPLACEMENT

Marcia Liaw distributed a copy of the position description designed for an Instructional
Tech I, which is planned to replace the Office Assistant II position previously held by
Tony Salerno, and requested input on it. An on-site person is needed to support faculty
who use computers in their classes. After hearing faculty’s ideas on this position,
Marcia agreed to rewrite the job duties and place copies in the faculty boxes for
approval on Monday morning, November 9.

A:\MINUTES MAY 99.doc

 MOTION: Ron Lafreniere moved and Jim Jory seconded a motion that
action on the Instructional Tech 1 position be submitted to the faculty for a
written vote and that the ballots be returned to Marcia on the afternoon of
November 9. The motion passed unanimously.

Marcia, Karen and Sally will meet with Jack Hanson, Larry Reid, and Fred Watterson
on November 10 to discuss this position.

FULL-TIME FACULTY REQUESTS

Tina distributed and explained the request for a full-time faculty member for
Cosmetology.

MOTION: Bob Shields moved and Cheryl Laufle seconded that the full-time
position for Cosmetology be approved. Motion passed unanimously.

The Business Administration program requested one full-time faculty member with an
allocation of two-thirds Purchasing and one-third Business Administration. Tina Clark
has prepared the front page of the Full-Time Faculty Position Request form but needs
additional input from faculty to complete the second page of this form. There was no
motion on this request because of the understanding that it did not have to have
Division faculty approval. Computer Applications faculty will also be submitting a
request for an additional full-time faculty member because of the growth within the program.

During further discussion, it was announced that the Business Technology /Computer
Applications area could potentially lose two people. Sally was asked to share the “bad
timing” with the request deadline at this time the quarter.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Sandra Kirk Roston is the liaison between Business Administration Division and the
Counseling Center for 1998-1999. She asked that Marilu place information in the
mailboxes for the faculty and staff.

Sally indicated that faculty can call Tracy Tripp to get information about becoming
Microsoft certified in various areas. These classes are listed on the Web and the first
two usually fill up and a third is opened. Faculty can take them on a space available
basis. Materials cost between $100 and $200. Sally commended Karen who is certified
and recertified in Word and certified in Excel.

Karen encouraged everyone to look at the Shoreline Community College website for
Business Administration and your program to see how you like it.

A:\MINUTES MAY 99.doc

Sally has looked at the faculty schedules, and it appears that Friday at 12:30 p.m. is still
the best time for division meetings. These meetings will be scheduled to last 1 to 1 ½
hours. It was suggested that due to long agendas that we eliminate speakers or that
they be limited to 5 or 10 minutes.

Jerry Baker explained his interactive/on-line class with Purchasing 190. The class will
meet on Monday evenings from 6:00-7:40 p.m. in the interactive room in the 1000
Building. There will be assignments and chats on the web for the remaining 1 hour and
40 minutes.

David Johnston will be offering a telecourse for Bus Ad 100 for Winter Quarter, and
Cheryl is considering a telecourse for spring quarter. Bob would like to offer accounting
classes on-line next year. The on-line classes filled quickly; however, the College is still
50 FTE’s behind and hopes to make them up during Winter and Spring Quarters 1999.

Marcia discussed the annual Holiday party. It will be December 4 at 12:30 p.m. There
will be a buffet with a $10 donation requested. A white elephant exchange will be held
for those who are interested.

Sally expressed her appreciation to the Assistant Division Chairs, Tina and Karen,
during Fall Quarter. Their job is to work with the programs and to help coordinate
activities such as time schedules. A handout was distributed to clarify Jerry Baker’s
two-thirds position. Sally thanked Jerry for changing offices so part-time faculty and the
temporary Instructional Tech person could use it.

Carolyn Keefe’s last day will be November 13, 1998. This position will be filled, and that
person will continue to absorb the duties of the Office Assistant II that was held by Toby
Salerno when he moved to the Science Division. Marcia and Phyllis distributed a flyer
regarding a luncheon at Las Margaritas for Carolyn and her husband on Friday,
November 13. A group gift will be purchased. Please respond to Phyllis or Marilu.

Tina distributed invitations to the Cosmetology Program’s 5th Annual Open House on
Thursday, November 19, from 12-3 p.m. There will be door prizes, samples and food.

The new Cascadia Community College is recruiting for faculty. Karen will post specifics
above the mailboxes.

There will be a career fair in February.

The meeting adjourned at 2:20 p.m.

 CLARIFICATION OF JERRY BAKER’S TWO-THIRDS CONTRACT
AS PURCHASING INSTRUCTOR FOR THE
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DIVISION

For the 1998-1999 Academic Year

The terms of this two-thirds faculty contract cover only the 1998-1999 academic year
and are in accordance with the SCCFT contract currently in effect. This contract must
be renewed each year. Some of its provisions arise from agreements of the Joint
Union-Management Committee of Shoreline Community College during the 1997-1998
academic year.

Because this is a two-thirds contract, the understanding is that Jerry Baker will perform
all the normal duties of any full-time faculty member at Shoreline Community College.
These duties include but are not limited to:

teaching an average of 10 credits over Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters

scheduling at least four 50-minute office hours a week over a regular 5-day work
week

serving on divisional and college wide committees

participating in the Business Administration program area of the Business

Division

serving on the Purchasing Advisory Committee, and

other duties related to the position of Purchasing Instructor as agreed to with the

concerns/issues.

Changes were made in the original agenda to accommodate busy schedules. Jim Jory
will distribute his information about the Shoreline Chamber to faculty and staff.

LIBRARY/MEDIA CENTER
John Backes, Library Director, discussed the necessity of collaborating with others on
campus when purchasing equipment and other media devices, and he would give his
support to these purchases. It is important to use all equipment efficiently and to show a
common need when requesting items in the budget process. Contact Paul Fernandez in
the Media Center if you have questions and for price quotes. John indicated that it is
faculty preference on whether the items are ceiling mounted or put on a rolling cart. The
Media Center will supply a fact sheet listing the models, approximate prices for the items,
and shipping by Tuesday, February 16, 1999. (Fact sheet attached)

TSS PRESENTATION
Steve Fleiger-Holmes spoke on the student e-mail system, which stresses public folders
that can be accessed from anywhere in the world. It is hoped that this same system will
be implemented for the entire school at a future date. To access this, type
zoot.shore.ctc.edu/exchange/root.asp. This program allows both faculty:student and
student:student interactions. He asked that faculty use public folders in their classes.
You must be registered to use this service so that you can add or delete (control) the
material. It is possible to set up the folders so that only specified people can read them.

A:\MINUTES MAY 99.doc

Gary Kalbfleish, Systems Administrator, at Ext. 5813 for more information. Sylvia can
arrange for Steve to do further group presentations or one-on-one training. Currently 400
students are registered for this service.

Counseling Center- Sandra Kirk-Roston (B.A. representative)

• Sandra said that Gretchen Gaffney from the UW Bothell campus would be
on campus May 4.
• Sally asked Sandra to give Gretchen e-mail addresses for BA transfer
faculty so she could notify them directly herself.

Budget Update-Sylvia Orr

• Sylvia explained the $ for the magnifying lamps in Cosmetology would be

funded form Perkins funding money. It must be received by May 15, 1999.
• Other budget requests have until July 7, 1999. This includes 31 copies jof
Office 2000 for 1204, 25 copies for 1205, 31 copies for 1202 and a tutor for
the study center.
• Only faculty that teach in the 1200 building will get Office 2000 on their
faculty computers - not the rest of the faculty. This means that everyone will
not be upgraded at the same time.
• A possible deletion on the budget is the computer application faculty
computer and software with printer for $2,715.00. Karen will write a memo
to justify this expenditure.
• The budget process now has $69,000 for the Business Administration
division. This is fourth place for college’s priority list. The items mentioned
included computers in 2402, Y2K compatible computers in Cosmetology
and a washer for Cosmetology.
• One item that will be deleted is $11,458 targeted for a new director of
Institutional Effectiveness. Tuesday a new list of budget priorities will be
produced, with items currently lower moving up the scale as deletions are
made. Items are considered for rating as they were originally rated by each
department.

Budget Update-Sylvia Orr
• A discussion followed concerning various parts of the equipment scores.
Jim Jory and Ron LaFreniere commented on the justification for a $6000
computer for Geology.
• Ron LaFreniere had concerns over the thinking behind how each item go to
the top of the list.
• Fans and exhaust systems in the COS building were rated fourth. There are
no State or OSHA guidelines for air quality standards. Sylvia stated that she
had pushed that they still need to make the building safe for instructors and
students.

Student Non Attendance Policy-Sylvia Orr

• Sylvia asked for feedback from faculty about students who don’t attend
class the first week of class. When there is a wait list should the instructor
have the prerogative to drop a student for non-attendance? A discussion
followed with most faculty agreeing that it should not be a mandatory rule,
but should be the choice of each individual instructor. (See Karen Kreutzer’s
letter on the listserv.) If the college does initiate a policy be sure to put it in
the time schedule so students know what it is. Edmonds publishes their
time schedule that if a certain class fills another one will open
• Faculty recommended that students be able to sign up for a wait list for
classes on a specific date so they know what number they are on the wait
list. This practice should be a one-stop shopping event. Students shouldn’t
have to go to different departments to sign up on a waiting list.
• A related question was “How does the college notify students for non-
payment?” Sometimes financial aid drops students due to non-payment.
The student doesn’t know this has happened and then wonders why their
name isn’t on the class roster. SCC knows their financial aid will come
through eventually.

Educators and ADA – Kim Thompson

• Kim Thompson thanked the BA faculty for our accommodations for a record
number of students needing special accommodations.
• She said that if students identify themselves as having learning disabilities
the next thing faculty should do is ask them is “Have you seen Kim
Thompson?” This protects faculty members.
• Students must have current documentation on their disability. $600 is the
lowest Kim has heard about for testing; the highest amount was $3000.
SCC asks for an adult evaluator.
• They have requested a dedicated testing center for three years in the
budget process. She said that sometimes they are able to provide computer
accommodations. Burt Weston recommended that faculty make sure the
PC in the testing center is set up properly.
• Call Kim Thompson if you have any further questions.
