REDWOODS COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT Meeting of the Academic Senate

2. Introductions and Public Comment: Copresident Calderwood welcomed Senators and the public, and asked for comments on Academic Senate related business. Stuart Altschuler spoke to changes he would like to see regarding minimum qualifications and course proposals, and stated that he looks forward to working with the Senate as one of the two Associate Faculty Senators for 2015-16. President Kathy Smith told the Senate that this is probably her last Senate meeting, and she wished to say she really appreciates the Senate work and that it has been a pleasure to work with the Senate. Copresident Calderwood stated that it has been great working with President Smith. Connie Carlson (sitting in for Debbie Williams) reminded Senators that flex reports are now due. Michelle Haggerty let the Senate know that time restraints won’t permit her to be part of the Dual Enrollment Advisory Committee, but that the Faculty Qualifications Committee (which she chairs) is very diligent about ensuring that applicants meet the minimum qualifications (MQ) from the state, and that everyone should keep developmental ages in mind when setting up classes for dual enrollment.
