AGENDA ITEM Student Activities Council Budgets for FY2018 BACKGROUND Student Activities Council (SAC) budgets are developed by the various student clubs, councils and boards of each DMACC campus. A Student Finance Advisory Committee accumulates the individual submissions, holds budget hearings to receive student, staff, or faculty testimony, and prepares an annual budget proposal for each campus. Each proposed budget being submitted was approved by a majority vote of the SAC for the campus they represent. The budgets have been reviewed and approved by the appropriate administrative staff on each campus, and made in consultation with the DMACC Business Office. These are funds from student fees and are based on a $1.25/credit hour rate. The last time the amount per credit hour was increased was during the 2011 May Board. Prior to that increase the amount had been $1.05/credit hour for a number of years. Funds are allocated between the campuses three times per year after the final drop for non-payment period (e.g., purge) for that term, and adjustments are then made to each budget. A detail of the planned expenditures for each campus is attached. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Board accept the Student Activities Council (SAC) budgets for FY2018 as proposed. Robert J. Denson, President

A. Introduction The Quality Faculty Committee was established in February 2002. The committee consists of equal representation of arts & sciences and career and technical faculty and administration. Philosophy Statement: The faculty and administration at Des Moines Area Community College are dedicated to supporting and advancing teaching and learning in providing quality education to promote student success. To accomplish this, the faculty development program shall focus on the development of the faculty member as a professional teacher, scholar and individual. The faculty development program shall include regular and adjunct faculty who are at the following career stages:

a. Orientation Level:

New faculty (Arts & Sciences or Career and Technical Education) with no previous teaching experience.

New faculty (Arts & Sciences or Career and Technical Education) with previous teaching experience.

New faculty (Career and Technical Education) with technical experience but no teacher preparation courses.

New faculty in areas other than Arts & Sciences or Career and Technical Education which could include Academic Achievement Center, Corrections, Youth at Risk, Counselor, Librarians or other programs.

b. Probationary Level:

Faculty who are within their first three years at DMACC. c. Experienced Level:

Faculty who are beyond probationary level. d. Adjunct Faculty

B. Implementation Schedule The New Faculty Orientation program was implemented in August 2002. A faculty mentoring program was piloted in August 2012 and has been revised each year since the pilot. The Quality Faculty Plan was approved by the Board of Directors in May 2003 and implemented July 1, 2003.

database for approval by the Associate Executive Director of Human Services. This system provides a running record of all accumulated TI’s to both individual faculty members and his/her supervisor.

d. Faculty development plan assessment - A 6-member committee comprised of 4

faculty members and 2 administrators (dean or director level) shall ensure DMACC’s Quality Faculty Plan continuously improves through assessment and revision. The committee shall manage an assessment process to measure and guide the overall improvement of college instruction.

E. Faculty Development Process a. New hire development - The first stage of faculty development, the “New Faculty

Orientation,” begins prior to the start of each semester and continues throughout the year. New-Hire Status faculty (see page 4) attend this seminar. Both contracted and adjunct faculty members are compensated at their contracted daily rates or at a prescribed daily sum for the week, respectively. An abbreviated evening session is offered prior to both fall and spring semesters for adjunct faculty. Counselors and librarians will have the option of attending the teaching orientation and will be required to attend an orientation specific to their areas. New-Hire Status faculty members are also assigned a faculty mentor.

b. Teaching Improvement - The office of the Associate Executive Director of Human

Resources and Director of Teaching and Learning coordinate a variety of TI events throughout the year. These events include but are not limited to 1-, 2-, 4-, and 6-hour workshops, seminars, and off-campus learning opportunities. These TI events address identified faculty development competencies and are available to all regular and adjunct faculty.

c. Probationary status - By the completion of the first three contract years of

employment, all contracted faculty members shall have participated in at least 96 clock hours of TI events.

d. Full status - Full status faculty shall participate in a minimum of 100 clock hours of

related TI events every five contract years for the duration of their employment. TI events are scheduled through the office of the Associate Executive Director of Human Resources.

e. Adjunct status – HR 3207 (Quality Faculty Plan) states, and HR3230 (Performance

Guidelines for Adjunct Instructors Teaching Credit Courses) reiterates that adjunct instructors are included in DMACC’s Quality Faculty Plan, and are encouraged to participate in orientation and continuing professional development whenever possible. Support services include, but are not limited to, attendance at a new adjunct orientation either on their home campus or on the Ankeny campus; orientation in their course and subject matter from a program chair, a regular instructor, or a designee of the provost/dean/director; and access to curriculum, tests, course competencies, and published best practices and other instructional materials.

HR 3205 (New Adjunct Instructor Orientation) states that new adjuncts should attend a new adjunct instructor orientation within the first two semesters of teaching.

44

7

If they do not, they cannot be rehired until completing the orientation. This requirement would be waived if adjuncts were formerly employed by DMACC as regular instructors or if they are employed as licensed high school instructors teaching dual credit courses. Adjunct instructors will be paid an hourly rate for attending orientation sessions, and payroll records will verify attendance. To access curricula, tests, course competencies, published best practices and other instructional materials, adjunct instructors are members of Blackboard Community, which also includes the Teaching and Learning and content area communities. The Teaching and Learning Community provides links to all DMACC offered professional learning opportunities including the Adjunct Professional Growth program and the Summer Institute, a two-day session focusing on best practices. Participation can be verified by checking registration and attendance records maintained by the Teaching and Learning Center. The Blackboard content community includes links to content specific resources and professional development, sample syllabi, assessments, and teaching strategies for each course.

f. Record keeping and documentation plans - Associate Executive Director of

Human Resources personnel oversees the electronic system that records each regular faculty’s TI Activities. Electronic records of completed TI Units are available to both faculty and supervisors through this system.

g. Practitioner assessment process plans - Faculty Individual Development Plans

(IDP) are revised and reviewed annually with respective deans; the TI event accumulation section of the IDP is an essential element of this process.

F. Consortium Arrangements DMACC has a history of partnering with area education agencies, Regents institutions and four-year colleges to provide faculty development opportunities. Consortium arrangements will continue to be established where appropriate, cost-effective and mutually beneficial. For example, DMACC offers a Summer Institute for regular, adjunct, and HS concurrent faculty members using presenters from DMACC and other area Higher Education Institutions focusing on various themes connected to improving educational opportunities for students at DMACC.

45

Section: Management of the College

Subject: Firearms and Weapons on College Property and in Programs/Activities; Threat Assessment; Crisis Management

The educational mission of Des Moines Area Community College requires that students and employees function in a secure learning and working environment. Community colleges are a microcosm of the larger community and face the same challenges associated with weapons, crime and violence. Of necessity, the imperative of personal security on campus must be accomplished in accordance with essentially the same constitutional rights of liberty and due-process-of-law that students and employees possess off-campus. Other kinds of risks to students, employees and the physical infrastructure of the College also exist. Acts of violence, fire, or natural disasters pose different but similarly dangerous risks to the personal security of students and employees and to the serviceability of College facilities. All of these concerns--from the risk of personal violence in the workplace to the risk of fire or tornado--should be addressed comprehensively. Firearms And Weapons On College Property The introduction of firearms and other weapons into the campus environment by students or employees poses a uniquely grave risk requiring unprecedented extraordinary measures. Possession of firearms or other weapons on DMACC property is prohibited as provided by ES5040 and HR3341. Unauthorized firearms and other weapons (including simulated weapons) will not be tolerated on campus. The President shall formulate procedures to assure prompt, certain and severe consequences for the unauthorized introduction of firearms and other weapons (including simulated weapons) onto campus by students or employees. Threat Assessment The President shall develop procedures to assure timely assessment of firearms/weapons-related and other threats to individual and campus security on a case-by-case basis and to develop and direct appropriate short-term and long-term institutional interventions designed to reduce or eliminate such risks of danger. Crisis Management The President shall develop procedures to manage, contain and reduce the adverse consequences of actual College crises emerging out of threats or other dangerous circumstances and to promptly restore normal College functions and activities in the wake of such crises.
