A letter transmitting the resolution was sent to local senates.
Whereas colleges are accountable for achieving five goals in PFE: transfer, degrees and certificates, basic skills, course completion and vocational education, and
Whereas faculty have a primary responsibility for ensuring student success in these five goals,
Resolved that the Academic Senate urge local senates to develop and adopt a separate Partnership for Excellence (PFE) policy that describes how PFE funds will be allocated, lists the criteria for allocating the funds, and includes the signature of the academic senate president on the final expenditure report, and
Resolved that the Academic Senate request that the specific budget planning policy for PFE be separate from other budget and planning processes.
