2. Agenda
Santa Clara Valley Regional Center and the impact on
Academic Support Services: Michael Tanner is invited to
discuss academic support implications of the Silicon Valley Center.
Summer Operations
Follow-up of committee discussion “homework” of
State funded summer operations transition proposal, in what should be offered
in the way of academic support for the new summer quarter.
3. Santa Clara Valley Regional Center and the
impact on Academic Support Services
Michael Tanner discussed planning issues for the Santa Clara Valley Regional Center (SCVRC). Lisa Akeson, Analyst for the Santa Clara Valley Regional Center was also present at the meeting.
Enrollments
Some of the issues regarding enrollments included: at full growth, approximately 2,000 students would be attending the SCVRC; the Center would have Upper Division and Graduate Student enrollees; relationships with San Jose State, De Anza and Foothill Colleges are expected to attract transfer students to the Center as well as continuing UCSC students; there might be more of a demand for part-time students at SCVRC than at UCSC.
Start Date
It is anticipated that there will be no physical building for the SCVRC until the Fall 2004, although 2002 was the original projected date. The Academic Plans must be determined and NASA has had a delay in the planning for the site.
Facilities
Mr. Tanner discussed and distributed the layout of the NASA Mountain View site and stated that 350 housing units are planned to house 700 students, plus faculty and research staff. The NASA Laboratory for Advanced Research site will most likely be used by the SCVRC for special focus programs. Although the airport is still going to be used, it is not anticipated that it will ever become a commercial airport.
Support Services
The goal of the support service areas of the SCVRC is to minimize movement between campuses (SCVRC and UCSC); to make the SCVRC a self-contained entity with as little replication of infrastructure as possible; and information technology/video conferencing is envisioned at both sites. Mr. Tanner addressed various student support service areas:
Dining and Retail Space – Partnership with NASA with our students supporting.
Library – Yes, will be needed for remote access as well as some on site space for study; partnership with industry and NASA, web information. Lan Dyson stated that it could be a big impact to the UCSC University Library depending on courses of study. Humanities and Social Sciences courses require more library usage than some of the other courses of study.
Fitness Center – NASA has large gymnasium and tennis courts. SCVRC will partner with NASA.
Health Services – NASA has a health service provider on campus. SCVRC can partner.
Conclusion
It was discussed that there would be much conferring back and forth between Michael Tanner, Student Affairs and the Academic Support Planning Advisory Committee as the planning of the Santa Clara Valley Regional Center is developed.
4. Summer Operations
A continuation of Summer Operations discussion from previous meetings included:
- John Wilkes stated that he would like to see the campus offering summer session classes as they currently exist, as well as the 4th quarter, and have both state support and fee income.
- Summer operations should be proportional to services needed (number of students – services required).
- Should summer session housing be at one college instead of across the campus?
- Method of payment for services was discussed including: Summer Session pays Student Affairs to provide services; campus decides how funding should be distributed, etc. The Academic Support Planning Advisory Committee Housing Task Force is addressing how summer services will be paid for.
- Other campuses (Santa Barbara, UCLA and Berkeley) will be operating the same way they did last year as they offer the 4th quarter this summer, so there might not be much to learn from their experience
- Barry Bowman addressed the issue of support for academic classes: who is going to schedule the classes, print exams, etc? Need to know by September 2001. The curriculum plan is already done through June 2002 – needs to be revised?
- It was urged that the Committee state that Curriculum support services be provided by Summer Session in 2002 and rely on them as they have in the past. Revenue sharing to departments should be determined by the Academic Planning Committee.
Policy Issues related to Academic Support
during the summer were discussed:
- Summer Academic Support – the Committee’s task is to give Student Affair’s managers some sense of what they will be expected to do for the State supported summer quarter.
- Model summer session the same as Extension courses – however this model could make it look like you don’t have full enrollment.
- What about competition with Summer Session and Summer Quarter – classes offered, classrooms, fee, etc.
- Until we have 20% of regular quarter in the summer, keep summer session model.
- Financial Aid (Ed Fee-return to Aid).
5. Executive Summary Reviews
This committee will be reviewing all executive summaries as they relate to
Academic Support. The reviews are to be completed by May 4, so
we will need to review these summaries during the next three meetings (March
27, April 10, April 24). A template will be developed for the review
process. The committee will have
another opportunity to review budget plans during January and February 2002.
Next Meeting of the Academic Support Planning
Advisory Committee March 27, 2001.
Tentative Agenda:
1. Presentation of Data Warehouse Review – Linda Kittle to present
the results of the Data Warehouse Review.
Specifically she would like the Academic Support Planning Advisory
Committee to:
· Provide input on strategic direction – consider
benefits of each of 3-4 options.
· Provide input on a
proposed structure for continued development (especially setting priorities).
· Provide input on how to address policy decisions on issues such
as access.
