Approval of Notes for March 23, 2021 Meeting – IPBT meeting notes were approved as written.
De Anza Student Government Report: Arushi Sharma asked that faculty make suggestions for students to serve on shared governance for the year 2021-22. DASG will be having the first meeting for the spring quarter on 4/14.
Review of Faculty Positions: Christina presented list of 15 open positions. There is funding for eleven. Five of the positions were highlighted as directly focused on equity: Faculty Director - Equity Office, AAPI Cohort Counselor, Asian American Studies Instructor, Chicanx/Latinx Studies Instructor, and Head Football Coach/REACH Coordinator. Four other positions were highlighted as also supporting equity while not being typical instructional teaching positions: English Performance Success (EPS) Counselor (2), Librarian - Multicultural Resource Specialist, and Mathematics Instructor - Math Performance Success (MPS).
The fifteen positions come from retirements, and resignations, or from positions that were not approved on last year's list. The list and vacancies were confirmed by the individual division deans.
For the 2020-21 there was funding for eight positions but the Supplementary Retirement Plan (SRP) positions could not be replaced. This led to a defunct list of resigned/retirement positions. Thus, an interim process was used where all requests from the Program Review comprised the preliminary list. From a list of approximately 40 requests, the IPBT members of the 2019-20 academic chose 22 positions to prioritize using IPBT’s quantitative process. The process used this year reverts back to pre-SRP process.
IPBT members representing students, Classified Professionals, and other members requested more time to bring the lists of 5 and 9 positions back to their constituencies. Daniel Solomon requested to take an advisory vote to see how many IPBT members were ready to vote on moving forward with the hiring of the five or the nine proposed positions. The vote to move forward with the vote at current meeting was 15 members. The remaining 13 committee members expressed discontent on taking the vote on the same day the information was presented and requested more time. However, despite the strong opposition, the committee moved forward with the votes.
The final count was 3 in favor of moving forward with 5 positions only and 17 in favor of moving forward with all nine.
For the next meeting, after affirming the process to be utilized, prioritization for two of the remaining six positions needs to be begun.
