Meeting called to order at 12:04pm Attendees: Elizabeth Atondo, Angela Echeverri, President, DAS, Dan Keller, Karen Daar (phone) Alicia Rodriquez-Estrada (phone), Rebecca Frank, Beraki Woldehaimanot, Sasha David, Rita Grigoryan, April Pavlik (phone), Steve Wardinski, Naja Elkhoury, Cathleen Rozadilla Guests: Sunny Leon, Jordan Seja, Melinda Nish

1. Approval of agenda: M/S – Discussion and motion made to add an action item to the agenda (requires a 2/3 yes vote) M (Wardinski)/S(Pavlik)/P (Yes: 8 votes: Atondo, Wardinski, Pavlik, David, Grigoryan, Elkhoury, Frank, Woldehaimanot. No: 1 vote: Rodriquez-Estrada. Abstain: none)

2. Approval of 07-20-18 minutes M/S/P 3. Public Speakers none

Action Items 1. Motion: A moratorium be placed on the creation of any new Computer Science (CS) course(s) until the

finalization of the template with the new uniform numbering and subject code change. M/S/P (Yes: 8 votes: Atondo, Wardinski, Pavlik, David, Grigoryan, Elkhoury, Frank, Woldehaimanot. No: 1 vote: Rodriquez-Estrada. Abstain: none) Discussion clarifying that any new proposed Computer Science course(s) currently in process in ECD will continue through the curriculum approval process. Chairs at colleges with new courses currently in the curriculum approval pipeline need to send Naja Elkhoury the course information so he can add the course(s) to the master list. Naja will bring the list to the Computer Science District Discipline Committee on Friday, 09/21/18 for final review and sign off. DCC will formally approve the list at our October 12th meeting.

Noticed Motions none

Standing Reports

1. DCC Chair Report: ELAC/LATTC Chem Tek challenge status. E. Atondo reported that the challenge has been resolved and an alternate title was agreed on for ELAC’s new degree.

2. EPIE Report a. Is ECD the system of record for all credit course curriculum? Committee agreed “yes”. b. Do you want the District Office to create a drop-box for all noncredit course outlines and program

narratives? Note: such a resource would NOT be public and would NOT be the system of record. Committee agreed “yes”.

c. If the District were to adopt eLumen as its curriculum and online catalog management system, would ALL colleges use (and pay for) eLumen as their outcomes assessment and program review management systems? Yes. At the DAS meeting the prior day, Thursday, September 13th, the





following motion passed unanimously: On May 18th, 2018, the District Academic Senate (DAS) Executive

Committee unanimously endorsed the recommendation of the District Curriculum Committee (DCC) to adopt

eLumen as the LACCD’s curriculum management system. Further, the DAS endorses the adoption of eLumen at

all nine colleges as our integrated system for curriculum (credit and non-credit courses and programs), Student

Learning Outcomes (SLOs), Program Review, Catalog and Digital Badges. The DAS further supports a phased-in

implementation of this system to give colleges the time necessary to migrate from their existing system(s) to

eLumen. d. Would it cause any problems to require that any program discontinuance be made effective in the first

available term for which registration has NOT already begun? (This would all coordination of dates with CCC Apply.) Committee discussed and agreed this was best for our students. Dan’s office will notify colleges of programs that are affected so the college(s) can address any issues/concerns. This policy will be revisited by the committee if it causes any unintended burdons on the college(s).

e. Should a course be made schedulable in the SIS PRIOR to COCI approval? If so, what should be done to prevent unapproved courses from being offered? (Note: the District cannot report such courses for attendance accounting and thus, the college would absorb their entire cost.) Committee agreed unanimously that a course should NOT be made schedulable prior to COCI approval. Exceptions can be considered and made on an as needed basis.

f. What is your perspective on creating Certificates of Achievement in Honors Studies? Note: such certificates have been approved at American River and Santa Barbara City Colleges, the former using the same TOP code as CSUGE and IGETC Certificates, but with a “local” goal. The CCCCO has said it will approve such certificates, but if they use the word “transfer” anywhere in their narrative, articulation agreements must be provided. Harbor has proposed such a certificate, but its requirements could result in a student taking more units in one or more CSUGE/IGETC areas than required. How would colleges in the district deal with reciprocity between colleges with different requirements for such certificates? The committee discussed an emphasized this is a local decision so a college can develop and adopt one. E. Atondo and C. Rozadilla explained the benefit of our honor’s programs to students (particularly the UCLA TAP program which is the purview of the UCLA faculty) and both did not see a need or explicit benefit to students.

g. Some colleges have created extremely high-hour noncredit certificates and courses. Is this pedagogically sound? Does it serve students? What guidance should be provided? D. Keller asked the chairs to review the hours required for their non credit curriculum and if any look unusually high to inquire further.

h. The most recent DCC/DAS-approved draft of regulation E-64 has been under consultation for over a year. One of the concerns is that it does not adequately address when and how CTE programs are submitted to the Regional Consortium and what role the CTE Deans play in that process. The CTE Deans have been working on a document that codifies historical practice regarding this issue. Would the DCC be willing to work with CTE Deans to unify these two documents? The committee has a draft of E64 to review for our next meeting and agreed that we should consider including the CTE dean’s role and a common model for the timing on programs that need Regional review. We also need to review and include our non-credit program approval process as well as discuss the VPAAs role in curriculum review in light of the recent policy update at the CCCCO which allows colleges, via the VPAAs, to verify that their curriculum is in compliance which eliminates the need for review by the CCCCO resulting in an expedited curriculum approval process.

i. Regarding code alignment changes: could each college send me a spreadsheet (see template) with all proposed changes so that I can provide a comparison. For SAM code mismatches, can we simply take the highest one? For TOP code mismatches, can we navigate them in DCC or do we need to go to Discipline Committees? The committee agreed for SAM codes we will take the highest one. For Top Code mismatches, district discipline committees will review and then a final review will be at DCC.

j. Would it be possible to create District-wide meta majors? Committee agreed this is a valuable discussion for faculty across the colleges to have.

k. Can we agree that all courses that are eligible to be repeated for credit should be set at 3 repetitions (4 total enrollments) and all others should be set as non-repeatable? The committee agreed with this.




l. Noncredit discipline committee(s): do we need more than one? Would the following work (at least for now): 1) basic skills English, 2) basic skills math, 3) noncredit ESL, 4) life-long learning, 5) vocational; with the latter possibly being split as necessary later? The committee agreed with these noncredit committees.

3. CIO Report: no report

Discussion items 1. E64 – see EPIE report above 2. C-id: timeline and lack of faculty reviewers: Committee advised that as long as courses have been submitted to

C-id for 45 days, CCCs can submit ADTs to the CCCCO. 3. Courses with an English 101 prerequisite and consistency at the colleges in standard for clearing when

comparable course taken outside the CCC, CSU, UC systems. This will be addressed at our October meeting. Meeting adjourned at 2:02pm

Action Items Motion: The District Curriculum Committee recommends continuing to use ECD as our official curriculum management system until eLumen is implemented and that resources be allocated to address system glitches. M/S Discussion and amendment moved and seconded to split the motion M/S/P unanimously: The District Curriculum Committee recommends continuing to use ECD as our official curriculum management system until eLumen is implemented. M/S/P unanimously Discussion on second half of original motion “and that resources be allocated to address system glitches”. This is referring to system glitches in ECD. Committee agreed this weakened the motion and the motion was withdrawn by Pillado.

Noticed Motions None

Standing Reports

1. DCC Chair Report: E. Atondo reminder on upcoming DAS summit 2. EPIE Report: D. Keller reported on AB705 current status referencing the excel worksheet he distributed.

Discussion on validating existing prerequisites on math courses which needs to start now if college(s) wants to retain the requisites – meaning some colleges are proposing barring students from the transfer level math unless the requisite has been passed. Dan’s office (Jordan and Sunny) with the help of Eddie Afana will work with the Milestones function in PeopleSoft to ensure that continuing students can enroll in the transfer level math and/or English course for Fall 2019.

3. CIO Report - none

Discussion items 1. E64: ad hoc committee formed to work on draft for December DCC meeting: E. Atondo, D. Keller, B. Frank, S.

Wardinski 2. Courses with an English 101 prerequisite and consistency at the colleges in standard for clearing when

comparable course taken outside the CCC, CSU, UC systems. E. Atondo and C. Rozadilla explained the issue





and will bring a draft policy to the committee. They will also do a presentation for the committee on course substitutions.

3. Form for digital badges: Emphasized this is senate/curriculum purview. Requested a form as a way to notify EPIE of local college approval for record keeping and tracking.

Meeting called to order at 12:03 pm

1. Approval of agenda M/S/P 2. Approval of 10-19-18 minutes 3. Public Speakers

Action Items 1. Approval of the Computer Science (CS subject code) realignment matrix with the provision that all CO SCI and

CO INFO courses not move forward for board approval until the CIS matrix is approved M/S/P Discussion: D. Keller asked how we will monitor going forward to ensure new courses are categorized and numbered accurately. N. Elkhoury said the district discipline committee had not discussed this but agreed we do need a check on this. S. David asked what the procedure to change all courses over to new subject and numbering. N. Elkhoury said he is the lead on this and one person at each college will be identified to coordinate this. D. Keller asked that no courses be archived until all the changes are made. Committee agreed that any/all CO SCI and CO INFO courses in progress will not move forward for board approval; these courses can be approved locally and the college can hold them until the transition of all courses to CS and CIS subject codes. N. Elkhoury asked if the committee would agree to an exception for the Amazon web certificate courses; the committee did not agree with this.

2. Revise Top Code of all STAT courses to the math Top Code 1701.00 M/S/P Background: The new funding model gives extra points for students who complete transfer-level math in 1 year. However, whereas AB 705 allows us to choose what courses satisfy the transfer-level math criterion, the funding model only counts courses in the math top code (1701.00). Our STAT courses are coded 1799.00.

Note: a change of TOP code does NOT change minimum qualifications; this would have no effect on who can teach these courses or what is taught in them. It would simply be a coding change (and yes, it would mean updating these courses in COCI).

Note: leaving these courses as is would not prevent them from satisfying AB705, but it would mean that we cannot count statistics completers for funding model points. Thus, this is one of those times when there is an advantage to making the change and no disadvantage to not making it.

Discussion: C. Rozadilla and E. Atondo will compile a list of courses with a subject code other than math that meet CSUGE B4 and IGETC 2A in the district and give them to D. Keller to see if it’s worth changing the Top Code on any of these courses too.



Noticed Motions none

Standing Reports

1. DCC Chair Report: New subjects (E115): it is still possible to introduce new subjects. cross-listing clean up: discussion that it may make more sense to put courses in families ex; our calculus and physics series. More to follow.

2. EPIE Report: AB705: D. Keller asked the committee members how he should communicate to English faculty that he needs the language they want to appear for students who want to take ESL courses even if they place into English. Committee agreed Keller should send an email to English faculty leads and cc DCC. Program Mapper .4 position: college can decide how to use it; they can split the .4 however best meets there needs. D. Keller needs to know from each college who the point people are. ELumen status – explicitly with catalog production. Committee clarified that we have not signed a contract with eLumen so catalog production at each college is status quo. Keller will be presenting eLumen to CIOs next week.

3. CIO Report: K. Daar updated the committee on latest AB705 communication. This information can be found on the CCCCO website.

Discussion items 1. E64 – no discussion due to time 2. Program Mapper .4 position: see EPIE report 3. ELumen status – explicitly with catalog production. See EPIE report

Standing Reports

1. DCC Chair Report: Challenge from Southwest to West’s POL SCI 61: Global Issues; guidelines on granting degrees: E. Atondo will notify district discipline committee for comment/recommendation. E. Atondo asked the chairs to conduct an informal poll with their curriculum committees on using ECD or CurricUNET as our interim curriculum management system until adoption of eLumen.

2. EPIE Report: D. Keller reported that eLumen agreed to all our minimum development requirements 3. CIO Report: No Report

Discussion items 1. DAS Resolution: Evaluation of curriculum from outside the LACCD: E. Atondo explained that the LACCD

evaluators asked for their job description to be potentially revised to clarify their duties as they feel they are



being asked to perform duties that fall under counseling faculty purview. E. Atondo also updated the DAS Exec on this issue and the committee asked that a resolution come to them through the DCC emphasizing faculty purview over curriculum per the 10+1. Additionally, E. Atondo and C. Rozadilla presented the LACCD Transcript Evaluation petitions developed by the Articulation Officers and currently being used at some of our colleges and explained that it would be best practice if all colleges adopted the petitions so our student’s coursework from outside the district is being evaluated using consistent policies and practices.

2. Noncredit total hours: M. Pillado explained the need for consistency in the total hours, or range of hours, for our noncredit courses, similar to unit value for a course being a district-level course attribute. Committee agreed it would be prudent to develop a policy to address this issue.

3. AB705 math courses in families (courses related in content): E. Atondo will send the courses to the DMC Chair, Daniel Judge, and ask for review and feedback.

4. Policy on prerequisite for English 101 equivalent courses taken outside the LACCD; E. Atondo and C. Rozadilla explained that all colleges need to be clearing prerequisites of English 101 using the same curricular guidelines and advised following the IGETC Standards which requires a minimum of 6000 written words. E. Atondo will work with D. Keller on most effective way to communicate these guidelines to the colleges.

5. ENV SCI ADT: how to get there in 60 units?: It is possible to get to this degree using the Physics 6 and 7 series; also the 2-unit lab course is being changed to 1-unit.

that the POL SCI district discipline chair is fine with the course moving forward, course will proceed through approval process, challenge is lifted; ELAC challenge to LATTC REGNRSG courses. E. Atondo reported she has not heard back from the discipline and will follow up; June DCC date change. E.

2. EPIE Report: BR6200 and E79: D. Keller presented that documents that were reviewed by the AB705 taskforce that met on Monday, April 8th at LAMC. These will go to DAS Exec on 04-19-19 and the full DAS for Action on 05-09-19. D. Keller reviewed the clarifying language in BR6200 indicating in what circumstances the LACCD 21-unit ge plan can be reduced to 18 units.

Motion to extend the meeting by 15 minutes M/S/P

E64: E. Atondo and D. Keller reported that the presidents had questions on administrator approval and the committee reminded ourselves that E64 starts after local approval and we included language in the reg stating that the local approval process shall include the role of administrators. D. Keller reported that AB705 Guided Self Placement is being addressed differently, if at all, by the colleges. The DAS will address this at their May meeting.

3. CIO Report – no report



Discussion items 1. Colleges curriculum committee’s process in DE course approval. Discussion on process at colleges;

all colleges use a similar addendum. DE faculty lead is part of the tech review at all/most colleges. 2. Guided Self Placement – see EPIE report 3. Viability study process on archiving of programs for which there is a similar degree; ex ADTs – is there

a need for a full viability when a local degree is being replaced by an ADT. S. Wardinski asked D. Keller to send an email clarifying that there is no requirement for a full viability in this case; it’s a local determination.

Motion to extend meeting until 2:30pm M/S/P Items from the floor

1. The role of administration in the curriculum review process - some of our faculty are currently challenging the involvement of administration in curriculum review. Committee agreed this is a local decision but that administrative participation and involvement is important. Most colleges have administrative representation on their curriculum committees; some as voting members others as non-voting.

2. What will be the messaging we use to communicate to students their eligibility for non-English and non-Math courses, when the courses have prerequisites that are no longer enforced due to AB 705 (and we can't remove the prerequisites due to articulation agreements)? – D. Keller explained that students who do any form of placement are cleared for courses that have prerequisites that are lower than where they placed. D. Keller said he will come up with a short statement that can be posted/distributed clarifying this for students/faculty/staff.

3. Addition of district courses and need for additional college board approval – Committee agreed that if a course has been board approved within the last two years, there is no need for a college that adopts the course to get separate board approval.

4. Interpretation of BR6201.15 – Reduction on LACCD GE plan from 21-unit to 18-units: see EPIE report

Motion to extend meeting until 2:35pm M/S/P

5. CS/CIS AWS courses – N. Elkhoury clarified the numbering. He asked if we could use letters in the numbering and the committee advised to only use numbers. He also asked about the AWS courses and the urgency for the colleges to offer them in F19. S. Wardinski offered to move the courses through East’s curriculum to expedite these course approvals.

Meeting adjourned at 2:35pm
