TO: DOUGLAS COLLEGE BOARD October 15, 1987.

eee

Our monthly Management Forum meeting on October 13, reviewed a number
of proposed procedures for handling staffing requests through
Management Committee and the Personnel Office. The current round of
approvals for new faculty and staff, both regular and temporary, has
shown the need to pay some attention to improving our internal
processes of approval and hiring.

Time has been spent in following up on post-registration problems of
students from outside the College region, who were unable to secure
satisfactory programs. Trish Angus, Gerry DellaMattia, and I have been
working together on this matter.

 

E. Internal Matters - Personnel
A major review of management compensation and pay differentiation is
all but completed. I expect to be able to recommend an appropriate
package to the Board at its next meeting.
Negotiations with the Douglas/Kwantlen Faculty Association have
formally recommenced, via the exchange of proposals calculated to
expedite an agreement.
There are no outstanding third stage grievances at this time.
The Board should be aware of the fact that its secretary, Gena
Ballantyne, has chosen to celebrate her birthday by taking minutes this
evening without interruption for 3 hours. This reflects well on her
system of values. It also warrants us standing and singing Happy
Birthday.
