Update on Shared Governance
Brief history,
President Holmes asked for a review of shared governance in Summer 2020.
Results of Fall 2020 De Anza governance surveyThe College Council formed the Shared Governance Task force in spring 2021.
Shared governance review websiteIn March 2022 the Task Force proposed a new shared governance model to College Council. The Council voted to recommend that the president adopt this new model. The president responded with follow-up questions that were discussed in the subsequent College Council meetings. In April, the Academic Senate passed a resolution urging President Holmes to adopt the model recommended by College Council and to do so in a timely manner.
New Shared Governance Proposal (approved by College Council 3/17/22)
Response from President Holmes (4/18/22)
Resolution Urging President Holmes to Adopt the Proposed 2022 Shared Governance Task Force Model (approved by Academic Senate 4/18/22)
A Shared Governance Retreat was scheduled for July 13 but was canceled shortly before the event.
Another Retreat has been scheduled for Oct. 21.
In the meantime, the Academic Senate needs to decide if it should fill the empty faculty seats on the PBTs (planning and budget teams) since the new model is not in place. The PBTs have 2 year terms. Some of the seats have expired.
Discussion: there were many questions, confusion, frustration, and disappointment over its process and progress. There was also concern over not having faculty representation on the PBTs if it will be business as usual.
There will be no PBT meetings in the next few weeks.
Mari Tapia motioned to delay the call out for volunteers for vacancies in the PBTs for a week to allow representatives a chance to gather input and do due diligence. Mary Pape seconded.
Yes 16, No 1, Abstain 1
Mary Donahue asked for a summary of what the representatives should discuss with their constituencies.
Question: How do faculty wish to participate in the PBTs, given the recommendations by the College Council and the Academic Senate in Spring 2022?
Potential actions for Academic Senate to decide upon next Monday:
- Fill the PBT faculty positions for 2022-2023
- Fill the PBT faculty positions for Fall 2022 only
- Refuse to authorize faculty participation in the PBTs until the Oct. 21 retreat, after which the Academic Senate will revisit the issue.
