The minutes were

There were no minutes available from the joint CAO/CSO meeting. However a request has been made to have a

treasurer’s report was presented. Bob Marshall made the motion to approve and
John Letts seconded. The motion

this. Pam will send an
email listing colleges that have paid their 2004-2005 dues. 2005-2006 bill will be sent in
August/September. John will update
the ICCCSSO directory since there have been many changes to positions. Reports
Statewide
Standards for Dual Credit – no
official report. However, discussion
was held on who is monitoring this.
Karen Anderson shared that it is difficult to monitor. ICCB does not have a regulatory function
other than “rules vs. regs.” Dual Credit
will be looked at during recognition visits.
ICCB regs discuss transfer dual credit but not occupational credit. Rob Kerr, ICCB, is putting together a
statewide task force on Dual Credit.
Recommendation should go to John for a CSO representative. Their responsibilities will be to 1. look
at rules and regulations, 2. look at numbers and 3. create support for P16
when reduction in budgets happens. |

ICCB Enrollment
Surveys – resolved issue
based on the discussion on the list serve. (Scott’s email). Baccalaureate
Access – Joan Kerber
reported that there will be a meeting on June 27th to look at such things as how can we get
more baccalaureate access to community college campuses without becoming the
one to offer the BS degree, funding issues and practices from other states. ORS/Rehab
Issues – ICCCSSO expressed
frustration on how the “negotiations” were handled. There was a lack of
cooperative spirit with the resigning of the contracts. ICCB is attempting to generate conversation
on this problem. IAI – Joan Kerber shared a brief summary of
the Bacc. Major Panel Survey results.
Joan and Marilyn Marshall (UIUC) were charged with reviewing the major
panels. The survey revealed huge
disconnect between panel and advisors.
The Steering panel suggested another presentation by Joan and Marilyn
to the major panels. Ivan’s evaluation
may assist with this process. Everyone
is encouraged to complete Ivan’s discussion questions that will be out on the
list serve and return that information!
The steering panel rejected the flexible gen. ed. Teacher
Education Initiatives –
Richard Massie shared the information on the AAT and Paraprofessional that he
had placed on the list serve. ICCCSSO Email
Surveys (Summary) - It was determined that the past president
of ICCCSSO would compile the questions from the list serve and solicit the
results from the inquirer. Past questions
and results were shared with the group on Judicial Code of Conduct (Larry
Apperson), Adult Ed (Sharon Wrenn), Financial Assistance (Fred Peterson) and
CSO Office Location Suggestions for
ICCCA Sessions sponsored by ICCCSSO
Other Upcoming Dates to
Note: November 16-18: ICCCA and ICCCSSO Meeting in John will survey
members to solicit ideas to enhance attendance, possible locations and dates
for our summer meetings. A motion was made
by Richard Massie and seconded by Faye Fullerton to have the executive
committee explore opportunities to move a portion of our treasury to a higher
interest bearing account. Late registration
– some schools are moving to the Sinclair Model (not accepting late
registration). Electronic
Signature – community colleges should document their current college policy
on collecting and verifying electronic signatures from instructors. It was suggested that you pilot the policy
one year prior to going “live” (collect both electronic and paper
signatures). Mike Stone from Kaskaskia
and Mike Henry from Presentations IHEC – Vanessa Sneed, EIU, gave a summary of the CATS Conference and
informed that the next survey would be available Spring 2006. It will be
available online or in paper format. Counterterrorism Awareness – Rebecca Miller from the FBI gave on
presentation on identifying terrorists. Evaluation of Program Review of the ICCB – Kathleen Kelly and Ivan Lach
shared their report which must go to ICCB board for approval. The ICCB staff is hoping to use this coming
year as a pilot year of the recommendations. Ivan will email the report on
the list serve. Evaluation of IAI – Kathleen Kelly and Ivan Lach shared that they are
reviewing the IAI process. They are
exploring such questions as how is IAI used in conjunction with other tools
(CAS), what should be the purpose of IAI.
They anticipate the report being complete by December 2005. They suggested getting a representative
from the CSOs in the group. College Zone – John Jennetten shared information on MAP and other
highlights. Merit is not being funded
in FY06. All other ISAC programs are funded at the same level. HB815 covers tuition and mandatory
fees. There will be level funding in
vet programs. John suggested that
everyone subscribe to the administrator and admissions list serves found at
College Zone to stay current on the issues.
HB 1051 allows returning adults to qualify for Special Education
Teacher Tuition Waiver. The MAP formula
= 2004 fees at 100%, 80% of Pell grant eligible, 9% reduction factor across
the board after award calculated. Cut
off date for MAP not determined to date may be mid August or longer. We need to explore why returning student do
not apply and encourage students to apply for MAP earlier to reduce
loans. We need to reach the parent not
the student with regards to MAP. IL Fred Peterson motioned to adjourn and Faye Fullerton seconded. Meeting adjourned at noon on June 24, 2005. Respectfully submitted Pam Clodfelter |
