Call to Order the meeting was called to order at 12:30 p.m. II. Approval of Minutes November 5, 2009 and December 3, 2009 III. President s Report Dave Dant moved/michelle Davila seconded/motion to approve the minutes of November 5, 2009, as submitted. Carried. Dave Dant moved/bernie Fradkin seconded/motion to approve the minutes of December 3, 2009, as submitted. Carried. a. Accreditation Update Dr. Muto informed everyone that the Accrediting Commission received our follow-up report and strategic planning document submitted in January. It is their recommendation we be put on warning status with regards to strategic planning. This is the least severe sanction possible, and the first time for RCC. We have not lost our accreditation, but we do need to take the warning seriously and move our strategic planning efforts to their satisfaction. They will return in October for another site visit, and so it is critical we show a degree of progress at this point. Chancellor Grey has assigned Sylvia Thomas to serve as a resource person and give us assistance. Dr. Muto will be meeting with Sylvia on Monday. We need to focus our attention in resolving this issue.

3 IV. Co-Chairs Report a. District Strategic Planning Committee No report b. Planning Executive Committee Richard Davin took this opportunity to discuss the strategic planning document. In December 2009 this committee accepted the document as presented so that we could meet the commission s deadline. This document will be presented again in two weeks to committee for approval. It is important to show that we have implemented the plan. Consider that everything in this plan is changeable, and does not bind us into anything but the process. V. Action Items VI. Informational Items Proposed Action to Approve the Riverside City College Strategic Plan March 4, 2010 We will be bringing this item to committee in two weeks for approval. Copies of the document were distributed and everyone was asked to review carefully and send comments to Norm Godin/Michelle Davila as soon as possible so that all comments can be implemented into the document. Concern was expressed with certain elements of the document: Need clarification with the flow chart, make it easier to understand; show relationship between Riverside Strategic Plan and District Strategic Plan; define the leadership council and articulate clearly what their role is; By-laws will need to be revised to reflect changes made to the document; conceptual problems in general with the plan makes it difficult to understand, we need to be able to explain. Dr. Muto asked that everyone review the document and send all commentaries to Michelle Davila. The executive committee (T. Brown, E. Bush, R. Davin, N. Godin, G. Haguewood, M. Martinez-Flores, V. McKee-Leone, S. Mills, J. Muto, P. Schwerdtfeger) will be working within the next two weeks revising the by-laws and implementing commentaries into the document. Once the RSPC has approved the document, it will have to go to other groups for review/approval. The APC is scheduled to review on March 11. The Academic Senate will submit for review March 1, and approval on March 15. A campus-wide discussion is scheduled for March 8. Dr. Bush will be taking this to the student leadership, and Ginny Haguewood will take to CSEA. VII. Sub-Committee Reports a. Institutional Mission & Effectiveness i. Revised Mission Statement (Action Item) Susan Mills reported that the mission statement has gone through the review process. Some minor changes were made and these were discussed at the December

4 3 rd SPC meeting. This was also discussed at the academic senate meeting and they are fine with it. No other changes were made to the mission statement and is now submitted for approval. Tom Allen moved/mary Legner seconded/motion to approve the revised mission statement. Carried. Susan will submit the revised mission statement to the District Strategic Planning Committee for review and approval, and to the Executive Cabinet for information. ii. Student Satisfaction Survey (Information Item) Susan reported that preparations are being made to conduct a student satisfaction survey, with about 1000 students participating. Dan Martinez, Associate Director of Institutional Research, will be assisting with this endeavor. The survey is through CCSSE, a national organization. Letters will be going out to those instructors who have been selected to participate. Individuals will be trained through student services to administer the survey in the classroom. There s a second part to the survey, and these questions are specific to this campus. Dr. Muto sent out an today to the campus community introducing the concept, but was under the impression this survey would be done online and that CCSSE would be contacting students directly to complete the survey. Susan indicated this is a paper test. Concern was expressed and it was mentioned that faculty approval is needed to go into classrooms. It was also suggested that the same group of students not take both surveys, there should be two separate samples. Susan asked that all comments be sent to her ASAP. This will take place in late March. b. Instructional Programs No report c. Student Support Services - Worked over the winter session and currently working on a budget reduction plan. Preparing document to share with committee in terms of the implications cuts will have. Next meeting scheduled next week. d. Library Resources - Will be meeting later today. Finalized program review rankings and will talk about this at their meeting. e. Human Resources - Dr. Muto has asked this committee to come up with ideas for the President s Innovation Award. These were discussed in December and forwarded to Dr. Muto

5 f. Physical Resources - Met in December during finals week and discussed remodel of administration building (board room side). After meeting were informed that these plans have changed. g. Technology Resources - Met twice during winter session, and another meeting scheduled next week. Working on the technology plan and hope to have a draft by the next RSPC meeting. h. Financial Resources - Meeting scheduled for next Thursday. Concern expressed with DBAC and budget process. Important to have input to the budget process from various parts of the college. Looking at an advisory group to report to Dr. Muto, with representatives from academic senate, classified staff, and management. Right now we don t know how much we have to cut. How do we prioritize what can be cut and what is untouchable. Important to have a mechanism in place in order for strategic plan to work. i. Leadership & Governance - No report Pat mentioned that we are resubmitting the Title V Grant again this year. We submitted last year, but were not awarded. VIII.
