President's Report Bill Gibbs reported that one department has submitted faculty ranking. An issue which needs to be addressed is that several faculty members hold a standard secondary certificate with vocational endorsements rather than the vocational certificates, which technically does not fit the criteria as established. Committee Report Cheryl Lyda and Wes Womack have been working on the workload issue. Representatives from several different departments on campus formed a workload discussion group, and Cheryl has attended the meetings. Clinical credits are unequal to lecture credits.
Every chair looks at all faculty in the college, and chairs coordinate assignments.
Annual evaluations are based on the successful completion of the plan, although the plans may be modified, if necessary. Cheryl will send copies of the complete notes from the workload discussion group to Faculty Council members. The Faculty Council discussion centered on the number of credits taught rather than contact hours. Wes stated that credits at SAT are based on the Carnegie unit. The vice president will assign an election committee.
