    • Faculty Council Issued this statement: Faculty Council Statement on Decisions Affecting the Library Learning Environment

      Faculty Council supports the call from Library staff to be included in the decision-making process for actions such as the proposed Library signage featuring donors' names. Any decisions that affect the learning environment and education process must include those who work in the spaces. This is in alignment with the core value of Learning, and the commitment of the college to "work together to create a learning-centered environment." If LCC is to demonstrate accessible learning that serves "the educational and linguistic needs of a diverse community," as stated in the Diversity core value, it must establish and follow a clear and collaborative process that makes a supportive learning environment its top priority.

    • Faculty Council Issued this statement: FACULTY COUNCIL STATEMENT ON DUE PROCESS AND INSTITUTIONAL PROCESS

      Lane Community College Administration should immediately halt the hiring process for a Medical Office Assistant (MOA) Program Coordinator until all contractual obligations have been met and institutional processes followed.

      The college's handling of the MOA program, including removal of the current program coordinator, ignores due process as guaranteed by the faculty contract. The Administration's plan to hire a new program coordinator who will be charged with revising the full curriculum by Fall 2016 is not physically possible unless Curriculum Committee deadlines and the Program Review process are also ignored. The Administration's claim that the "urgency" of the hiring is due to a promise made by the college president to unnamed employers further disregards the institutional standards outlined in the college's Core Values.

      As stated in May 2015, "Faculty Council strongly condemns any administrative action to remove, supplant, circumvent or bypass the faculty role in reviewing and designing curriculum, an example of which is the college administration's treatment of the Medical Office Assistant program. Any process involving program restructure at Lane must be led by the program faculty, as well as follow the Program Review process and long-established academic and empirical data standards."
