Attachments Faculty Bios

Tina Akers-Porter enthusiastically joined our ranks as a professor in our mathematics department in 2010. She earned her Associate of Science degree in Natural Sciences at Modesto Junior College, a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics at CSU Stanislaus, and currently holds a Master of Science degree in Mathematics from Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri, where she lived for seven years before returning to California and joining Merced College. She thoroughly enjoys teaching mathematics at the community college level and is passionate about helping students succeed and develop an appreciation for her subject.

In addition to teaching, Professor Akers-Porter serves on the Academic Senate, co-chairs the Staff Development committee, and is the current Flexible Calendar Coordinator. She also participates in an Online education project sponsored by the Chancellor’s office. More importantly, she is a mom to two busy boys, Dalton (4), and Dallas (1) and wife to adjunct English instructor, Stan Porter, and she appreciates this wonderful job that allows her the time and flexibility to enjoy her family. In between Title V updates, SLO analyses, and discipline work, Tina hopes to become even more involved in the shared governance structure, learning the structure and inner-workings of the college.

Dr. Karen Fritz moved to California 4 years ago from North Carolina. Although she has lived in 11 states and 22 cities, she considers herself to be a native Tarheel. She attended both high school and the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill—that place which has turned out famous basketball players like Michael Jordan!

Karen earned her MBA at the University of Georgia the year that Hershel Walker won the Heisman trophy and the SEC championship in football for the bulldogs. It was in Georgia that she realized she had a gift for tutoring her fellow classmates. Before she became a career educator, she also worked a few years as a Market Research analyst in the corporate sector for Southern Living magazine and the first commercial truck leasing corporation in Birmingham, Alabama.

Dr. Fritz’s enthusiasm in the classroom is contagious. She uses a variety of innovative and creative teaching techniques to engage her students, and has served on several college committees, including Chair of the Student of the Month committee. She is also well-known for her funny Halloween costumes such as Honey Boo-boo, Lindsey Lohan, and Uncle Si from Duck Dynasty.

Carin Heidelbach is originally from the Central Valley and graduated from Livingston High School. Carin decided on theatre as a career after being accepted to a seminar for high school juniors at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. After taking courses at OSF, she decided theatre was the career for her. Carin earned her Bachelor of Arts in Drama from CSU Stanislaus. While there, she appeared in several plays. She concentrated in Acting, and her culminating project was a one-woman show called Laughing Wild.

Carin spent a summer studying British Theatre at Richmond College in London, focusing on Shakespeare. After completing her BA, Carin studied Acting at the Theatre School at DePaul University in Chicago. There, she decided to focus on Directing and moved to Humboldt State University. She earned her Master of Fine Arts in Theatre with a concentration in Performance and Directing. After her MA, Cairn went back to the London International Festival of Theatre, as a production and marketing intern. She then married her husband, Paul, and moved to Portland, Maine to work for the Portland Stage Company, as an assistant director and assistant to the education director. A year later Paul and Carin moved to Sonora, had a son, Cameron (now 14, who keeps her busy watching his baseball and water polo games), and began working at the Sierra Repertory Theatre. Carin began teaching Theatre at CSU Stanislaus and Modesto Junior College. In 2008, she and Paul went to China and adopted their daughter, Meilin, who is now 8. Meilin was diagnosed as profoundly deaf and is currently helping her parents and brother learn American Sign Language. Carin has directed and performed at Center Stage Conservatory, Sierra Repertory Theatre, Stage 3 Theatre Company, Iron Ring Theatre Company, and Prospect Theater Project. She currently directs 3-4 plays a year here at Merced College and enjoys the process of creating theatre with her students while raising a family and trying to become fluent in American Sign Language.

Carin is the faculty advisor for the Merced College Theatre Society, has served on the Curriculum Committee, and is a C-ID Reviewer for Theatre Arts courses for the state Academic Senate.

Travis McDonald was born in Modesto, CA and moved to Fresno at the age of 3, where he spent the rest of his youth. His love for mathematics started quickly. As early as 1st grade, he was taking milk money from other kids to help with (or do) their homework. As he progressed through school, he tutored anyone who asked and even became a teacher's assistant for an algebra 2 class as a senior in high school. He declared math as his major from the moment he set foot on Fresno State's campus and took almost every math class he could find. Travis received both his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Mathematics from Fresno State in 2003 and 2005.

Then he entered a doctoral program at the University of Oregon, but along the way, found that his true love was for teaching and not research. He left graduate school after 3 years and started teaching full time a local high school in Eugene with the hopes that

someday he could find his dream job, a teaching position at a community college. Thankfully, that day arrived in 2010 when he began at Merced College. By his own confession, he is now living the dream. :)

He loves the Merced College community, and enjoys participating in both the department and the campus at large. He is an academic senator as well as the curriculum representative for the mathematics cohort and enjoys working with the terrific mathematics department we have here at Merced College.

Travis married his high school sweetheart, Amber, and they have been together for 10 years. He admits that he couldn't have done any of it without her support. They have 4 children, Natalie (6), Conner (4), Declan (2), and Matthew (5 months).

Outside of College, he loves cooking, craft beer, electronics, and disc golf, and he is a passionate fan of the Oregon Ducks, 49ers, and Dodgers

Resolution 14-61 Declaring March 2014 as Women’s History Month at Merced Community College District

WHEREAS, women have been equal partners in the development and history of the United States; WHEREAS, with the passage of Public Law 100-9, the month of March was officially established as National Women’s History Month; WHEREAS, women’s roles in history and their contributions to world civilization have been overlooked in the past; WHEREAS, Merced Community College District, as a public institution of higher learning is dedicated to providing opportunities for all people so that they can reach their highest potential; and WHEREAS, as an institution serving the community, Merced Community College District is committed to offering public forums of interest to all segments. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Merced Community College District proclaims March 2014 as Women’s History Month. PASSED AND ADOPTED this 4th day of March 2014 by the Governing Board of the Merced Community College District by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Approved Secretary of the Board of Trustees

The teams for the Merced College Faculty Association (MCFA) and the District began bargaining over a year ago, meeting intensively during Spring 2013, and again in early Fall 2013. The resulting Tentative Agreement is proposed for the Board’s approval. MCFA members have voted to ratify. The principal changes are summarized below, by article number: V. Leaves.

1. Clarifying language added to personal necessity, sabbatical leaves, unpaid personal leaves, and special observances sections.

2. Sick leave may now be used for absences during summer session. 3. Bereavement Leave now provides three (3) consecutive work days

generally, or five (5) consecutive work days if travel is required more than 200 miles one way.

4. Jury leave is now provided for both full and part-time faculty. 5. The MCFA President’s release is increased to 40%.

VI. Fringe Benefits.

• Maintains the current level of benefits; no increase to the employee contribution.

• Clarifying language added to sections dealing with tax-sheltered annuities and retiree benefits.

X. Workload

1. Adds language to the overview on faculty workload to indicate that development and assessment of student learning outcomes is a responsibility of the individual faculty member, as well as clarifying language addressing general expectations concerning supervision of students and contributions to governance and program needs outside the classroom.

2. Clarifies payment for work on program review, under certain circumstances: a. Part-time faculty will now be compensated for program reviews, or

for the development of Student Learning Outcomes or other commensurate work on curriculum.

b. CATs (Cohort Assessment Trainers) will now be compensated for assisting faculty colleagues with program reviews and Student Learning Outcomes.

c. Compensation for program reviews in programs with multiple degrees/certificates: in cases where a fulltime faculty member is taking on multiple comprehensive program reviews, the lead faculty member can choose either one unit of release time or $1,000 for each program review. For additional annual program reviews the member will receive $200 in additional compensation for each annual review.

For programs with no full time faculty member they may be assigned to part-time faculty with the same levels of compensation.

3. Stipulates formation of a task force to study class size maximums.

XI. Salaries. 1. No salary increase for 2012-13. 2. For 2013-14, full-time faculty salaries will recalculate on April 15, 2014

to determine the mean of the C-14. If salaries are above the mean, no change will occur. If salaries are below the mean, the appropriate raise will become effective for 2014-2015. No retroactive increase.

3. For 2014-2015, full-time faculty salaries will also recalculate on April 15, 2015 to determine the mean of the Central 14. If salaries are above the mean of the Central 14, no change. If salaries are below the mean, an appropriate raise will occur for 2015-16. Again, no retroactive increase.

4. Two additional 1% longevity mini-steps have been added to the full-time salary schedule for columns 1-5 (one on 1/1/15 and one 1/1/16) if the latest CCFS 311 filing has the District at a 10% ending balance or higher.

5. A dollar will be added to all pay cells of the part-time schedule if the District’s ending balance is over 10%.

6. A task force will be convened for the allocation of part-time parity dollars given to the district by the state.

7. Upon hiring and salary placement, part-time faculty may now be given credit for up to five years of previous experience.

8. The salary advancement MOU has now been placed into the contract. 9. Coaching compensation levels have been clarified and aligned: Head

Coach compensation will now be the same; the three levels of the previous contracts are omitted. Compensation levels for both Associate and Assistant coaches have been clarified.

XVIII: Grievance Procedure.

• Defines early steps in the process more clearly. • Adds a step for binding arbitration.

XXII. Employee Discipline, Personnel Files, Student/Public Charges.

• A new article, defining progressive steps in employee discipline.

Memorandum

To: Board of Trustees From: Ron Taylor, Superintendent/President Date: March 4, 2014 Subject: Celebration of Talent Event

Merced College Celebration of Talent

Merced College has begun planning a celebration of talent aimed at showcasing the performing arts talent that exists among faculty, staff and other members of the college community. This event will give the college a chance to claim bragging rights for the considerable talents among the faculty and staff, and it is expected also to serve as a collective morale boost.

In this iteration, the idea is the brainchild of Board President Dennis Jordan, and college staff have been responsive in putting together initial ideas. The event has been variously characterized as a “talent showcase,” “talent show,” “follies,” and “extravaganza.”

Planning to date has been co-chaired by Dean John Albano and Director of Institutional Advancement Robin Shepard. They have put out a call for volunteers and suggestions, and they are reporting to President’s Cabinet once a month on progress. Discussions to date have tentatively identified the following elements:

• The tentative time frame for the event is in September, 2014. • The event is intended to be free admission to the public. • The venue is to be the College Theater—for reasons of logistics and cost. • The event will be staged with volunteer help from among the staff. • Auditions will be held, and they are tentatively scheduled for the first two weeks of April

(April 2-3 at 7 p.m. is the most recent tentative target). • Rehearsal and technical rehearsal dates will need to be identified in late summer/early fall. • Community judges are to be identified who will judge first through third place in several

categories, and trophies are to be awarded. • Costs associated with the event include staff time for planning, set-up and take-down,

trophies, and advertising.

It is recommended that the Board voice its support for this event. This would not only confirm the Board’s intent that the college invest time and resources in this activity, but it would encourage faculty and staff who might otherwise hesitate to step up as performers.

Memorandum To: Board of Trustees From: Ron Taylor, Superintendent/President Cc: College Community Date: January 26, 2014—corrected Feb. 24, 2014 Subject: Administrative Reorganization

The Administrative Reorganization Task Force has completed its work and made a set of recommendations. I have reviewed these, along with a “minority report” by two Task Force members, as well as some recent input from individuals (see attachments).

My original proposal to reorganize the administration sought to address numerous issues—from cost of management to encouraging teamwork, from supporting institutional effectiveness to strengthening management of Los Banos, from improving administrative oversight for distance education to strengthening Institutional Advancement—along with several other, more specific areas of need. The explanations were included in my Feb. 12, 2013 memo to College Council (I shared this information with you as well), and they are largely still applicable. A few of those issues were addressed through the “Phase I” adjustments to administration that were adopted on March 5, 2013, but not all, and some adjustments were interim solutions. The aims of Spring 2013, taken together with the recommendations of the Task Force, form the backdrop for my recommendation here.

The Task Force has clearly emphasized several of the factors I originally stipulated as factors for consideration. They reviewed comparable colleges’ administrative structures, investigated pro’s and con’s by interviewing incumbent administrators, and considered cost. I interpret their recommendation(s) as giving great emphasis to institutional effectiveness, among the many factors referenced above. In addition to specific organizational adjustments, they have recommended two follow-on task force efforts, to address Online Education and Cohort/Lead Faculty Assignments.

Before settling on a specific course of action, it is imperative to provide a preliminary or prima facie, comparative costing of the Task Force’s various recommendations, as a context for decision-making. Please note that the following assessment is based on specific assumptions, and does not attempt to achieve a close prediction of actual savings/cost. Actual cost figures, and more finely-tuned projections, can be provided later, but they would likely tell a misleading story at this stage. To achieve a preliminary, apples-to-apples assessment of relative costs, I am using arbitrary

assumptions that are spelled out in the footnotes. Changes in actual costs related to positions moving from interim to permanent are immaterial in this analysis, so they are not tallied. Salary costs are presented without the associated benefits costs, since the actual variations in benefits costs are likely minimal, they do not correlate consistently with position, and these costs cannot be consistently and accurately projected without a specific incumbent. Also, it is important to recognize that I am costing the Task Force’s recommendations using their adopted “status quo” structure, reflecting the college’s administrative structure as it was in 2012-13. It is important to stress that the following is a comparative analysis only, not a detailed costs/savings projection. Moreover, given the “status quo” assumption of the Task Force, actual comparative cost/savings would not match this analysis for any given actual year-to-year comparison. Nevertheless, the following analysis can be used confidently to assess the ongoing, long-term costs/savings related to the recommendations. Other, more qualitative cost/benefit considerations are described below.

Task Force Recommendation(s), Overall without Phasing* Position Change (Savings)/Cost

Status Quo 2013-14 Projected Difference VP Admin. Svcs. N/A N/A N/A VP Instruction N/A N/A N/A VP Student Personnel N/A N/A N/A VP TIR Eliminate $160,735 $0 $0 ($160,735) Dean of Inst’l Effectiveness New $0 $0 $124,347 $124,347 Reduction of faculty reassigned time for IPR/SLO coordination**

($30,000) ($30,000)

* Cost comparisons here are based arbitrarily on Step 5 of the appropriate range in the current management salary schedule, or when a classified position is involved, Step 4 of the appropriate range in the current classified salary schedule is assumed. Actual costs would vary based on the incumbent’s seniority and placement upon appointment. Benefits costs are not included, but salary costs only, for the reasons stated in the narrative. 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15 management salaries are assumed to be stable. “N/A” here stands for “not applicable.” For the proposed change in Financial Aid and Admissions and Records, the salary range of the incumbent position is assumed (although in an actual recruitment, this cost could be set at a different range than the current, combined role). For the proposed new “Manager of Student Services” at Los Banos, since there is no existing job spec for this position, I have arbitrarily assumed this would be set at Range 12, like the Student Success Director for the Merced campus. For the proposed new “Public Information Officer,” since there is no existing job spec for this position, I have arbitrarily assumed this would be set at Range 21, comparable to the current range assignment for the Office of Relations with Schools & CalSOAP; alternatively, the same position might be viable at $47,016—i.e., as a classified staff position at Step 4 on Range 18; the difference calculation is shown as if the more costly choice had been made. The proposed transition to an Athletic Director who is a fulltime manager is shown at Range 2, which seems appropriate given the need for this manager to supervise faculty coaches. One exception to the Step 5 assumption on management positions is in the line item called “Purchasing Manager,” where I have honored Dr. Schultz’s comprehensive analysis for her area by using an actual salary number rather than Step 5 for that classification. All of these range placements for new/reclassified positions are very preliminary, and in no way binding; they are assumed only to achieve reasonable comparisons. ** Note that this analysis is comprehensive, and includes some proposed adjustments not listed under the Task Force’s “Final Recommendations” on p. 10 of the report. These additional adjustments are listed either in the “Cost Savings”

section on p. 9, or in other sections addressing certain administrative units. Taking the report as a whole, it seems fairly clear that the Task Force intended and assumed that many of the listed items would be addressed—such as the reporting relationship of the Director of Institutional Advancement. This item is not listed under “Final Recommendations,” but no alternate adjustment is mentioned. For another example, the Online Education Systems Manager is discussed as a “potential reclassification” on p. 9, but not listed in the “Final Recommendations.” The analysis here includes all recommendations contained in the report, for the sake of completeness. If I have misinterpreted any of the Task Force’s intentions, I am sure we can adjust readily. *** There will be questions about whether a cost increase will eventually be involved with this position, given the change in reporting relationship as recommended by the Task Force, and an associated title change. It is premature to guess at what, precisely, the cost of such a change might be, but I am confident it would be a modest cost increase.

The calculation included cost savings from position non-replacement as well as cost increases and savings from reclassifications, etc. Rather than spell all this out here, the aggregate savings that are still applicable at this time are shown below in an item relating to four listed changes: Director of Risk, Environmental Health & Safety; Capital Planning & Events Manager; Reprographics Supervisor; Purchasing Director.

As you can see, if all of the Task Force recommendations were to be implemented, there would be an increase in ongoing cost, and no net savings to help bridge our budget gap. The Task Force’s recommendations include a phased approach, in which several of the changes above are recommended “when funding permits.” Taking this aspect into account, I present the following revised analysis.

$70,244 $0 $44,736 ($25,508)

Net (Savings)/Cost ($193,277)

Actual, Year-to-Year Savings/Cost As this comparative analysis makes clear, deferring some of the Task Force recommendations will lead to ongoing savings, even while some of the non-cost recommendations are implemented. It must be re-emphasized, however, that the cost/savings numbers shown above are for comparative purposes only; the numbers themselves are potentially misleading if they are used as projections of budgetary savings. For instance: note that the savings indicated for not filling the Vice President of TIR position is both understated because it does not take possible benefits savings into account, and also totally irrelevant when comparing the 2013-14 budget year and the 2014-15 budget year. If we are aiming at reducing our current structural gap, in the 2013-14 budget we have already “booked” the savings from the elimination of the Vice President of TIR position, and a minimum gap of approximately $1.5 million still remains; we cannot count this “savings” against that gap. Moreover, from the list above, the savings from a possible change in the Online Education Systems Manager position is premature—we have a task force currently looking at options related to that role, and won’t know their recommendations for a few weeks. Finally, please bear in mind that

differences in actual year-to-year costs or savings that might occur in relation to the remaining Vice President positions won’t be known until those positions are filled and step placements are made for the individuals hired. Disregarding possible minor changes related to the remaining Vice President positions, and backing out the “savings” associated with the TIR and Online Education positions, the entire projected savings would derive from the proposed changes in Administrative Services—roughly $32,542 that can help address our structural gap. It is also noteworthy that implementing these changes would reduce costs on the “bad side” of the Fifty Percent Law—a distinct advantage. Task Force Recommendation(s), Second Phase—Implementing Funding-Dependent Items This phase could be accomplished in a way that would not increase ongoing cost—i.e., simply by deferring any item that would increase overall net cost unless it is accompanied by a corresponding reduction in ongoing cost, or, alternately, by sufficient new revenue that could be dedicated to covering the change.

Impacts on Classified Support Staff One area to which the Task Force clearly gave some attention, but on which its work was not comprehensive, is the question of the impacts of any administrative reorganization on classified staff who support the administrative positions involved in the proposed changes. This is a matter that is at least partly subject to collective bargaining. Therefore my recommendation will not be comprehensive on this aspect, at this time. Once the Board approves my overall plan, I will work with CSEA to ensure that staff who might be affected by the changes are treated fairly and appropriately. In considering any possible reassignments of classified staff, the District should take into account factors brought to its attention by CSEA, but should also look to the factors that triggered the administrative reorganization in the first place: serving the college mission effectively while reducing costs (or keeping them as low as feasible), institutional effectiveness, etc., as described above and in the Feb. 12, 2013 memorandum.

Superintendent/President’s Recommendation I recommend hiring of vice presidents as indicated by the Task Force recommendation(s), but with modifications to duties required by the funding-dependent phasing that the Task Force has envisioned. Moreover, I recommend a phased approach akin to what the Task Force envisions. Here follows my recommendation, in three parts:

PART I: “Phase II”—For Immediate Implementation (July 1, 2014 or sooner)

Position Change VP Instruction Hire; include oversight of learning resources, learning support,

and distance education; include ALO duties until funding permits the hiring of a Dean of Institutional Effectiveness; include updates

to other duties including broad institutional effectiveness accountability, enrollment management, community relations, planning, etc. Designate as Assistant Superintendent.

VP Student Personnel Hire; change title to “Vice President of Student Services”; include oversight of Athletics in job description, along with updates to other duties including institutional effectiveness accountability (related to Student Services), enrollment management, community relations, planning, etc. Designate as Assistant Superintendent.

VP TIR Eliminate; reassign oversight duties for technology planning and implementation to Director ITS, VP Admin. Svcs., and Technology Committee; reassign oversight duties for research and grants to Director, OGIR and Superintendent/President until funding permits the hiring of a Dean of Institutional Effectiveness; reassign oversight of learning resources/learning support to LRC Director and VP Instruction.

Dean, Inst’l Effectiveness Defer until 2015 pending availability of funding. Reduction of faculty reassigned time for IPR/SLOAC coordination

Defer until a Dean of Institutional Effectiveness is hired; assign broad accountability oversight to VP Instruction.


Contingent on adjustments to cohorts as recommended; re-consider funding these recommendations after cohort adjustments are determined, and after the District’s Fifty Percent Law compliance is assured.


Reassign reporting relationship: reports to Supt./President. Adjust HR records to confirm authority over all administrative functions at Los Banos campus; confirm responsibility for Dos Palos outreach/service and other west-side outreach/service. Defer any salary adjustment until Phase III.


Defer until 2015 pending assessment of funding.

PART II: Follow-on Task Forces and Adjustments to Committees The Task Force recommended two additional, follow-on task force efforts—one on Online Education, and one on Cohort/Faculty Lead Assignments. I have already initiated an ad hoc process to address the first of these. As for the Cohort/Faculty Lead Assignments, I intend to work with the Academic Senate and the educational administrators to set up the recommended process during the Spring 2014 semester.

In addition, the college must immediately finalize its review of the Integrated Planning, Program Review, and Shared Governance Handbook and institutionalize adjustments to ensure that technology planning and accountability are addressed, and that memberships in the remaining shared-governance committees and councils are appropriate to the new structure. This review and adjustment should be completed no later than May 1, 2014, so that membership and committee charge are clear prior to the start of 2014-15. College Council will guide this effort.

PART III: “Phase III”—For Implementation When Funding is Available (2015 at the earliest) Position Change VP Instruction Reassign ALO duties and institutional effectiveness monitoring

& On p. 9 of their report, in relation to proposed changes in Administrative Services, the Task Force indicated that they support the concept of internal restructuring of positions, including promotions, but they ask that these adjustments “be done … with transparency and adherence to established procedures vetted through shared governance practices.” The transparency and shared governance that the Task Force requests is appropriately applied in the college’s planning process for staffing. We have recently established the President’s Cabinet as the review venue for staffing proposals for classified and management positions, with periodic vetting of decisions in College Council, and for the current proposals, this process has occurred. We will build a more comprehensive staffing plan for the college in developing the Educational Master Plan. Please note that internal promotions and reclassifications of individuals are not, strictly speaking, subject to shared governance. Under the law, the effects of reorganizations are to be collectively bargained for any represented employees, and this will occur between the District and CSEA, as noted, for any classified staff affected by these proposals.

Split into two positions; reassign duties of incumbent as needed; salary levels contingent on comparison benchmarking.

Athletic Director Consider creation of fulltime AD as manager position, pending recommendations from program review.

Other, More Qualitative Cost/Benefit Considerations In addition to fiscal costs/savings, it is important that we consider such priorities as accreditation and institutional effectiveness, overall workflow efficiency, and addressing major strategic goals related to student success, student access, and student equity. In framing my recommendation, I have not explained my thinking about these factors in any detail here. Nevertheless, they are crucial considerations in prioritizing future commitments, and the following priorities are based on these considerations.

Given the analysis here, the college will likely implement “Phase III” in pieces, and with careful evaluation of off-setting revenue or cost reductions, as well as other constraining factors such as the Fifty Percent Law. I recommend these pieces be prioritized roughly as follows, given their impact on the overall health of the college:

1. Hire Dean of Institutional Effectiveness 2. Reduce faculty reassigned time for IPR/SLOAC coordination 3. Hire Manager of Student Services, Los Banos 4. Hire Public Information Officer 5. Additional Faculty Leads in Area 7 and Area 1 6. Split Director of Fin.Aid, A&R into two fulltime positions (note condition described above) 7. Hire Fulltime Athletic Director (note condition described above) 8. Reclassify Dean of the Los Banos Campus, in terms of salary (note condition described above)

Attached: Recommendations Report, ARTF, Dec. 9, 2013; Memo by Davis, Flores, Dec. 10, 2013; Summary of Recent Input, Jan. 25, 2014.

It is recommended that the Board of Trustees of Merced Community College District support the statewide proposal for a pilot project in which community colleges would be allowed to confer bachelor’s degrees under certain circumstances. Last spring, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges commissioned a statewide study group to review the advantages and disadvantages for community colleges offering bachelor’s degrees in California. This group produced a report in January (available at http://extranet.cccco.edu/Divisions/AcademicAffairs/BaccalaureateDegreeStudyGroup.aspx ). Major findings were:

• Attaining a bachelor’s degree has significant impact on an individual’s income potential and career.

• By 2025, without a change, California’s economic need for college-educated workers will outstrip supply (per PPIC study). To meet the need, attainment of bachelor’s degrees would have to increase by 40%.

• In recent years, California has had difficulty addressing the need for a more highly trained workforce, due to capacity constraints.

• Various pathways to baccalaureate degree attainment have been identified: articulation agreements, “2+2” programs, “university centers” on or near community college campuses, degree completion via distance education, and community college bachelor’s degrees.

• More than fifty community colleges in twenty-one states currently confer bachelor’s degrees, most having started in the last decade.

• Community colleges can expand access due to their geographic distribution, their flexibility and cost-effectiveness, and their workforce orientation.

• Most community college baccalaureate offerings address technical, workforce preparation needs.

• A national movement to require Registered Nurses to have bachelor’s degrees has fueled some of the attention to this issue.

• National arguments for community college bachelor’s degrees focus on meeting local workforce needs in applied and technical fields, expanding access to the baccalaureate for underrepresented populations, keeping cost to taxpayers and students low, and providing an alternative to for-profit institutions.

• In California, there have been several unsuccessful attempts through the Legislature to provide community colleges with authority to offer bachelor’s degrees.

• Arguments for community college baccalaureate degrees in California focus on serving underserved areas and populations, responding to

http://extranet.cccco.edu/Divisions/AcademicAffairs/BaccalaureateDegreeStudyGroup.aspx

http://extranet.cccco.edu/Divisions/AcademicAffairs/BaccalaureateDegreeStudyGroup.aspx

workforce needs thus benefitting the state’s economy, removing barriers to degree completion, and compensating for lack of capacity in the state’s universities.

• Challenges related to community college baccalaureate degrees include the need for additional funding for such an expansion to the mission, capacity hurdles at some colleges, concerns about the Master Plan and “mission creep,” possible collective bargaining complications, and the need for authorizing legislation.

• Concerns about accreditation are being addressed (ACCJC accredits two-year colleges—but has asked the U.S. Department of Education for a change in scope so that this option may be explored; response is expected in March 2014).

• The associate degree level should remain the primary focus of community colleges in California.

The Study Group also raised a number of questions to be answered, related to identifying needs in particular areas, how local discretion would be addressed, and securing adequate funding for such a project. Shortly after the Study Group completed its work, SB 850 was introduced by Sen. Marty Block (D-San Diego), which provides for a pilot program at a limited number of campuses, one degree program per campus, in a limited number of fields of study, and it would authorize the districts offering the degree to charge a course enrollment fee specific to the offerings. Pilot programs would need to address workforce needs identified for the local area, and could not unnecessarily duplicate programs already offered at nearby public institutions. No appropriation is associated with the bill. The text of the bill can be found at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/13-14/bill/sen/sb_0801-0850/sb_850_bill_20140109_introduced.pdf At the recent Community College League of California Legislative Conference in Sacramento, there was discussion about the community college bachelor’s degree opportunity. The statewide Academic Senate is also preparing for a discussion at its forthcoming Plenary. Emphasis at the Legislative Conference was on the following points:

• The baccalaureate should not replace but should complement the existing community college mission.

• The programs selected should be in workforce fields where there is demonstrated demand and/or shortages.

• Unnecessary duplication with public university programs should be avoided.

• Details of funding, governance, accreditation, and other issues should be further explored and resolved.

There is clearly a groundswell of interest in this topic. I encourage careful consideration of the pro’s and con’s for Merced College. Currently, the college

program that is most eligible for participation in a baccalaureate pilot would probably be Registered Nursing, although other technical fields could be candidates as well.

Merced Community College District

Resolution 14-XX in Support of California Community Colleges Offering Bachelor’s Degrees Under Certain Circumstances

WHEREAS, California needs a more highly educated workforce, and baccalaureate degree attainment in the state clearly lags behind the state’s need; and

WHEREAS, and the state has experienced capacity constraints in colleges and universities, while community colleges represent a possible avenue for expanding access to bachelor’s degrees; and

WHEREAS, community colleges have the ability to provide low-cost, high-quality education to many areas of the state, provided any expansion of their mission is funded as such; and

WHEREAS, it would improve the state’s overall cultural and economic well-being to make bachelor’s degree attainment available to all residents; and

WHEREAS, rural areas such as Merced College’s service area are especially in need of improvements in their college-going rate; and

WHEREAS, Merced Community College District feels that in spite of any expansion to the mission of community colleges, they should retain as their focus associate-degree and lower-division education as their primary focus;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Merced Community College District declares its support for efforts to establish a pilot project authorizing community colleges in California to confer bachelor’s degrees in specified technical areas of study that are identified as areas of unmet need; provided that these efforts address the need for fiscal support specific to related offerings, and that the related offerings do not duplicate unimpacted programs at nearby public, four-year institutions.

PASSED AND ADOPTED this 4th day of [MONTH], 2014 by the Governing Board of the Merced Community College District by the following vote:

AYES: NOES: ABSENT:

Item: Districtwide Water Conservation Planning Presented By: Joanne Schultz, VP of Administrative Services James Andersen, Dean, Career Technical Education For: Information X Action ____ Background Information Governor Jerry Brown has officially declared 2014 a draught year. As a result he has asked that all home owners and business in California to institute water conservation strategies that will result in a 20% savings. A team from Administrative Services and Instruction are in the development stage of a plan that will result in at least a savings of 20% for both the campus and the farm. Another consideration that will need to be addressed is the reduction in water allocation to the two farmers leasing our two agriculture properties. While not directly affecting water conservation on our campuses, this could result in the reduction of revenue from these two leases. Attachments Water Conservation Plan Outline

Grounds This outline was developed to ensure compliance with the recommended water reduction levels and ensure the integrity of our landscape and the survival of our tree specimens. On the Merced Campus:

• Reduce watering time by 20% or more. • Regularly Inspect sprinkler heads to minimize water usage • Regularly test sprinkler patterns for optimum coverage • Add rain sensors to areas of highest water usage • Reduce lawn in non-essential areas such as medians • Provide additional training for grounds staff • Work with Plant Science to develop a campus wide computerized plan • Begin planning for more draught resistant landscaping

On the Los Banos Campus:

• Better utilize the Torro Sentinel computerized irrigation clock system • Add moisture sensors as necessary • Provide additional training

Other Areas

• Cover pool when not in use • Reduce the chiller use to reduce water evaporation from the four cooling tower

basins Plant Science – MC Nursery

• Utilize state of the art computerized water management system The Farm

• Install drip irrigation for the Almond Orchard • Test drip irrigation on half of the pumpkin patch • Insure that the drip lines are adequately working in the other fields • Analyze other irrigation needs and develop plans

Item: Quarterly Financial Status Report, 2013-14 Fiscal Year; Quarter Ended December 31, 2013 Presented By: Joanne Schultz For: Information X Action Background Information Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Section 58310 requires districts to prepare and submit a quarterly report on forms provided by the Chancellor’s Office. The information on this report is for the events known as of December 31, 2013. The following is a brief summary of the highlights of the report. The highlights include the following: The projected 2013-14 expenditures (Line B.1) is the expenditure budget for the

Unrestricted General Fund and does not reflect any possible budget savings that will occur.

The District’s unrestricted reserves (Line F.1) are currently in excess of the

Board’s designated six-percent reserve. The annualized attendance for credit and noncredit FTES (Line G.1) is currently

being projected at 9,513. The District’s cash (Line H.1) has been sufficient as to not interfere with its ability

to conduct the business of the District.

In Section IV. Unrestricted General Fund Revenue, Expenditure and Fund Balance, the actual total revenue (Line I.3) and expenditures (line J.3) are both slightly less than expected.

In Section V, the District is reporting that it did not settle any employee contracts

during this quarter.

In Section VII, Does the District have significant fiscal problems that must be addressed? This year? No, the District is not reporting any significant fiscal problems that must be addressed. Next year? The District is reporting that the passage of propositions 30 and 39 has significantly improved the state’s financial outlook. The Governor’s 2014-15 proposed budget includes additional funding for the community college system as well as the elimination of all payment deferrals. It is further reported that the District still has a structural budget gap that must be addressed. The District will continue to identify areas of revenue enhancements and budget savings to balance the budget.

The Administration will continue to provide the Board with monthly budget updates as the budget development process continues both at the state and District level. These updates will be posted on the college web site for review by the college community. Recommendation/Requested Action This is an information item; therefore, no action by the Board of Trustees is required.
