NEW ADMIN-EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER

FINDING NEMO

·                     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.

 

BUDGET

·         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.

STUDENT HOUSING

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.

 

DIFFUSING DIFFICULT SITUATIONS

A workshop on diffusing difficult situations is scheduled for September 1, 2003 at 9:00 a.m. in Ka`a`ike 210.

 

SUPPLEMENTAL PRIORITIES

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.
