DASG Report: Anita C reported that the last DASG meeting for 2021-22 academic year was held June 8, 2022. Checks for more than $500 were reviewed. De Anza’s Public Policy School would like stated their appreciation for DASG’s collaboration this past year. DASG Equity and Diversity Code was approved. The 2022-2023 DASG Senate was affirmed.

Update on Dean position to oversee Online Education: The new Dean position for online education will be titled Dean of Online Education and Learning Resources since this Dean will oversee both Online Education and the Library. This is appropriate since:

1) Library staff have affirmed their wish to be part of Division with Online Education and report to a dean rather than a member of senior staff.

2) Library has a new digital focus: digital textbooks, open education resources, information literacy tools, and research databases. All library resources must be available to the online student as well as students attending on campus classes.

3) Before this position was eliminated as a budget reduction measure, it was known as Dean of Online Education and Learning Resources with both Library and Online Education reporting to this dean.

College Council Report Out from June 9th meeting: At the College Council meeting of June 9, 2022 it was announced that President Holmes had requested more information about the English as a Second Language (ESL) program before he would sign the requisition for the ESL faculty position. Dean Kristin Skager has provided that information. The Dean and the ESL department are awaiting President Holmes’ response. It should be noted that when asked, President Holmes did state that three faculty would still be hired. The only doubt is whether ESL will be one of those three.

Pati C (ESL faculty member) stated that she looked forward to a conversation with President Holmes to affirm the need for another ESL faculty member. In particular, the enrollment data needs to be studied through the lens of the changes made due to AB 705. Randy remarked that what is needed is a means to make “get well plans” similar to what the Viability Committee of the IPBT did in the past.

IPBT members voted to hold a special meeting of IPBT on June 21, 2022 should Dr. Holmes decide not to sign the requisition for the ESL faculty hire. Christina remains hopeful this will not be necessary.

Apply version 2 of Trial rubric to Film/TV: IPBT members and guests broke into groups of 4 or 5 to discuss how the rubric could be applied to another department: Film/Television. One comment from the discussion concerned the form itself. CTE questions might be better broken out as a separate addendum much as the resource request list is separate. There also should be an equity question revolving around employment for CTE areas to answer.
