·
Steve George is the new Academic Support representative on the
Admin/Executive Committee.
·
Student Government was congratulated for the wonderful job they did with
their “Friday evening at the movies” event.
Approximately 800 people attended the showing of Finding Nemo. Harry Potter is scheduled for the next
showing on October 24.
It was suggested that future presentations could
include information on Maui Community College.
Applications could also be available.
Paula Purdy will follow up with the Educational Opportunity Center to
have information available at the next showing.
It was also suggested that this event could be a
fundraising opportunity for the Culinary Arts program. Na Pua Noeau is currently co-sponsoring the
event.
·
Nine students graduated from the Maui Botanical Gardens indigenous
program.
·
David distributed latest budget information. We reserved $85,000 for Banner assessment. The total assessment is $57,988 at this
point.
·
David also distributed copies of and summarized a report on MCC
Extramural Accounts. Thank you to
Cindy Yamamoto and Flora Mora for developing the report which includes project
start and end dates, award amounts, account balances, and project
description. Corrections to the report
should be forwarded to David.
·
The report will be placed on the web.
It was suggested that an overview of how we receive funds, how funds are
being spent and on how funds benefit the College should be included. Those who have questions can call the
Principal Investigator or the appropriate project director. Project directors prepare monthly status
reports and should be able to provide detailed information on how and if
faculty and staff may become involved in their specific projects. It was also suggested that we look into
establishing a “grant guru” position.
·
To get a comprehensive financial picture all funds including funds being
received from other institutions such as the University Center arrangement
should be noted.
·
With the Governor lifting restrictions, the committee looked at how funds
will be distributed when they become available. The following were listed as possible items to fund.

Committee members were
asked to submit figures for their respective items listed. They were also asked to submit any requests
for critical need. Information should
be submitted to David Tamanaha by Wednesday, October 1, 4:30 p.m. David will compile information for the next
Admin/Executive Committee meeting scheduled for Friday, October 3, 2003.
It was noted that
there have been problems at the dormitories which require greater
security. Maui police officers have
been patrolling the area. It was
suggested that they could also take coffee breaks in the foyer. The presence of police officers could help
to diffuse the situation. It was also
suggested that we look into hiring weekend security.
A workshop on
diffusing difficult situations is scheduled for September 1, 2003 at 9:00 a.m.
in Ka`a`ike 210.
President indicates
that faculty salaries will be top priority.
Will also be looking at resources available to balance 5 to 4. The renovation of the Student Center is #7
for C.I.P. Seven million dollars had
been proposed but not funded in last biennium for land acquisition. Agreed to revisit to include in next
biennium.
ABIT/WASC
Working on responses
to Dr. Lily Owyang representing WASC Jr. and Sr. Commissions. Will probably get
responses back to her with six copies of submission by the end of this week or
early next week.
CONTRACT
RENEWALS
The Chancellors met
earlier with J.N. Musto regarding contract renewal process. We should hopefully receive the information
on the discussion of that meeting by the Friday, October 3 contract renewal
workshop date. The Contract Renewal
workshop will be held in Ka Lama 107.
