• Karen distributed three Documents on District Administrator Hiring Policies-- 
• 1) CURRENT policy (last updated 2014)
• 2) DRAFT of revision of policy (last circulated to District Equity Action Council DDEAC when Pat Hyland last chaired it, last academic year..... Laura Savage was present at Senate meeting and she told us that she was told that DDEAC had approved this version back in May, but Karen C. questioned this, since there are no minutes from the May DDEAC meeting, and there were no prior meetings to the May meeting other than November 2017.

Possible Topics/Ideas for Resolutions to Bring to Spring Plenary

Previous passed resolutions: https://asccc.org/resources/resolutions

• Mayra Cruz will represent us at the Area B meeting on March 22nd in Monterey. The first packet of resolutions  Mayra C will represent AS at meeting in March 22
• AS State Plenary will be held  on April 11 and 12 in Millbrae
• Karen C. queried the Executive Committee about whether it is a concern that AB705 implementation may steer underrepresented and underrepresented students towards transfer level Math classes that are not STEM pathway and end up steering underrepresented and underprepared students away from STEM majors/careers.  Discussion ensued, including Thomas R. and Karen C. answering questions about Guided Self-Placement for AB 705 implementation. 
• Ishmael T - expressed interest in writing a resolution in support of the California Federation of Teachers (CFT) resolution to increase PT faculty load to 80%; Mylinh P - expressed interest in writing a resolution against this increase; Mary P - Increasing PTers to 80% would reduce chances of opening up FT positions; Mylinh P - Rather have 67% for all than 80% for few; why not push for more FT jobs? A lot of PTers actually want FT positions - PTers do not all agree on same things - very different opinions of different PTers; Ishmael T - Climbing the ladder is of interest to some PT faculty, since being higher on the ladder means that PT faculty gets assigned more classes; some PT faculty don’t need or want a FT job
