CONTINUATION OF CCSSEE PRESENTATION:  Assistant Dean Jeannie Pezzoli

Committee members broke up into two groups to discuss how we can maintain what we are doing right and how we might improve.  The groups focused on two areas based on survey results that need to be strengthened:  financial aid and computing services.  The committee made the following recommendations.

  • Financial Aid:  Create scholarships for those who already have degrees and are not eligible for tuition waivers.
  • Dan Kruse announced that David Cole, MLP President and CEO, has given ten ABIT scholarships per year for students who are doing well in their first two years.  These are ongoing scholarships.  We also have two scholarships from Textron, totaling 12 scholarships that are available for ABIT this spring. 
  • Computer Services: 

·         Establish technology fee for replacement of computers.   

·         Apply for PCATT RFP funds for high technology.  Vaughn is working with Tech Support Committee on application.

·         Install wireless connection for use by faculty, staff, students who have laptops.  Need to research on how extensive this would be and the level of bandwidth available.  Diane Meyer will ask Sandra Swanson to check on level of bandwidth available and where available.

·         Dissemination information to students via Banner.  Students could get current news about MCC using their MCC account. 

 

 

WASC

Our report, which is an addendum to our eligibility document, is due in December 2004 for March 2005 accreditation visit.  Diane is chairing the ABIT committee which replaces the BCDT and Baccalaureate committees. Need to identify who will lead action strategy for Strategic Plan.

 

STATUS OF INSTRUCTION AND OVERALL BUDGETS

David Tamanaha distributed for information copies of FY 2005 preliminary g-fund and tuition fees special funds budget allocations and the 2004-05 budget planning worksheet.  He also distributed copies of FY 2005 Special, Revolving and Federal Funds Contribution to Support Costs Worksheet.

 

 

Committee members reviewed the instructional budget and discussed budget shortfall.  The following strategies were discussed to reduce costs.   

 

  • Look at how other campuses are printing their catalogs and schedules of classes and do a price comparison.  Inform people that catalog is available on the web.   
  • Remove the (Outreach, Academic Support) ORAS unit chair position.  It was noted that the Academic Support groups do need to have a chair supporting their unit.
  • Follow up on whether will be receiving funds to cover 5 to 4.  We received $119,000 of support last year.  Don’t know if we will be receiving anything this year.
  • Look at Fall class enrollments to see which classes should not have been offered.  Objectively look at classes to pull from the Schedule of Classes.
  • Tap into grants for additional funding.
  • Look at reorganization piece; limiting administrative management.
  • Look at Voc-Tech areas to see if they can produce alterative revenue support for classes.

             

NON RESIDENT TUITION STATUS

There is a proposal being developed at the administrative level to cap non-resident tuition by year 2010.  Non-resident tuition would be capped at four times resident tuition.

LAHAINA EDUCSTION CENTER PROGRESS

Keoki Raymond is doing an excellent job in renovating the Lahaina facility.  The facility has been gutted.  HITS installation will generate some resources hopefully by Spring.
