NCSDCC Spring
Meeting Minutes The meeting was called to order by Chairman David Armstrong. Minutes from the summer 2002 meeting in Lexington, Kentucky, were read and approved. The financial report was presented and approved. Martin Lancaster has requested that the NCSDCC write a sign-on letter addressing the inequity of the granting of the .edu domain by Educause. The State Directors have agreed that they will sign on to this letter. Thirty states have the .edu domain. He will take this up with Congress if he doesn't get satisfactory results soon. Kay McClenney, Project Director, Community College Survey of Student Engagement, University of Texas, presented a report Engaging Community Colleges. CCSSE will soon have a new Web site that will provide nationwide information on community colleges. Jim Folkening provided information on the upcoming summer meeting in Michigan. State budget reports were given which reflect a grim economic outlook in most states. The state directors encouraged Terry Tollefson to develop a new (possibly online) edition of our book on state community college systems. An all-volunteer advisory committee was formed to help Terry decide what topics to include. The advisory committee is as follows: Jim Folkening, Jan Motta, Jan Friedel, Frank Renz, and Cynthia Barnes. David Baime and Jim Hermes, AACC, reported on legislative issues. Michelle Plecha, ERIC, distributed a state-by-state survey form to be completed by each state director. The survey seeks information on community colleges that offer the baccalaureate degree. The meeting adjourned at 4:00 p.m.

The National Council of State Directors of Community Colleges is an affiliated council of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC). The council provides a forum for the exchange of information about developments, trends, and problems in state systems of community colleges. Through our affiliation with AACC, we also strive to affect national legislation that impacts our colleges and state agencies. This is the only Council that represents the collective interest of state agencies and state boards of community colleges. This council is a valuable forum to help state directors deal with the changes in attitude and policies towards community colleges at the international, federal, state and local levels. We will share information and learn lessons from each other to better serve the interests of our institutions in the coming years. |
