Del Mar College Standing Committees
2007-2008
Committee Membership/Appointments: Faculty and staff participate in the standing committee structure as a means of developing shared governance and collegiality, as well as a means to ensure that Del Mar College faculty, staff and administrators have easy access to the committee process. Committee membership is established yearly by the President. Membership on some committees is based on input from the Faculty Council, the Exempt Advisory Committee, and the Nonexempt Advisory Committee, coordinated through the Office of the Vice President of Instruction. Ordinarily, members are appointed to three-year terms; exceptions may be granted by the President. The membership of other committees is determined by position or assignment or through presidential appointment. As needed, the President may occasionally modify the length of committee appointments in order to achieve staggered terms that help ensure continuity of a core membership from year to year.
Staff members appointed to committees ordinarily serve as liaisons between the committee and relevant offices or programs; their terms are indefinite and may be modified by the President as needed.
Committee memberships for the current academic year are posted below. The year in parenthesis indicates the expiration year of each member's term, which concludes at the end of the summer semester of the designated year. Faculty members may request a change to their committee appointments through the Office of the Vice President of Instruction.
Minutes: Committees develop minutes of their meetings. However, the minutes do not include a lengthy description of the discussion. Generally, they are limited to date, time, and place of the meeting, members present, members not present, and actions taken or recommendations made. Votes on actions or recommendations are recorded in the minutes. Dissenting opinions may be attached to the final report.
Committee Reports: By the end of each spring semester, each committee produces a brief summary of the committee's work, including a membership list, a list of meetings held, and a brief description of actions, recommendations, and suggestions. Copies of the minutes are attached to the report andsubmitted to the President's Office. Committee chairs, or their designees, load all minutes and committee reports on the committee’s MyDMC website as soon as they are available.
Committee Recommendations: Committee findings and recommendations that need more immediate action are presented to the President's Staff via the President's Office. Any actions or recommendations that would obligate the College to expend additional funds should include funding options and must be approved by the President.Findings and recommendations related to faculty and instructional matters are presented to the I.S.D. Council via the office of the VPI. All committee actions or recommendations are evaluated for fiscal impact to the College by the President.
Chairs: With the exception of a few committees regularly chaired by a designated administrator, committee chairs are elected by the committee membership at the committee's first meeting in the fall. When available, the chair of the committee for the previous year serves as the chair pro tem, whose sole responsibility is to convene the committee at the beginning of the fall term and to conduct the election of a new chair. If the previous year’s chair is not available, a staff member appointed to the committee serves as chair pro-tem. Ordinarily a new chair is elected each year, but with the agreement of the committee and the chair pro tem, the chair pro tem may be elected to another term. The faculty chairs of standing committees serve as the point of liaison between the committees and the Faculty Council, for the purpose of routinely providing information, as needed, on their committee's work and progress. Findings and recommendations of the committees are forwarded to the President's Staff or to the I.S.D. Council, as described under "'Committee Recommendations," above.
Committee Meetings: The chair pro tem convenes a meeting of the committee no later than October 15 to elect the chair, establish a calendar of meetings for the academic year, and introduce new members to the on-going work of the committee. The newly elected chair contacts the office of Administrative Services in order to be established as a committee leader for the group under MyDMC. Chairs, or their designees, are responsible for inputting the committee’s calendar of meetings and for loading agendas, minutes, and summary reports to the website. If future meeting dates, times, or places are changed, the chair duly notes those changes on the committee’s MyDMC calendar as soon as possible.
Agenda:Ideas for discussion and introduction to the committee are welcomed at any point in the committee process. Anyone within the College community can introduce a topic for consideration by the appropriate committee by contacting the chair, the chair pro tem, or a member of the committee.
Voting: Chairs set protocol on how votes are recorded. Each vote of record (count or roll call) is noted in the minutes on any action or recommendation to be forwarded to the President. When voting is necessary, decisions are made based on a simple majority vote. All members of the committee, including the staff members, ex officio members, and the chair, have one vote.
