The Faculty Senate is also seeking nominations for one open seat for an ALTERNATE at-large senator from the full-time and adjunct faculty members for the term August 2017 to May 2020.

Qualifications

The requirements to serve as a senator are as follows:

Senators with full-time status must be non-probationary.
Senators with adjunct status must have completed three years of teaching at JCCC and have reached the associate professor rank.

Duties

All faculty are invited to participate in a Faculty Forum regarding the Facilities Master Plan on Friday, February 12th, 11:30-12:30, Craig Auditorium, GEB 233. The SmithGroup will be on campus to listen to ideas and concerns from faculty when it comes to classroom space.

We mourn the loss of our fellow senator and colleague Terry Helmick.

 

At its regular meeting the Faculty Senate adopted the following motion: that the Faculty Senate supports the Educational Affairs Committee in its statement that any course prerequisites added without the procedural practices in place, including the formal review and approval by division curriculum committees and the Educational Affairs Committee, be immediately removed from the course catalogue and the spring 2014 course schedule.

 

In the discussion related to this motion, senators noted that no one in the current administration had been involved in the decision to add the reading prerequisite and expressed the hope that the administration and the faculty could work collegially together to remove it.
