Program Review (Optional)

该团队指出,最后一次验证团队审查要求两个新的全职教师职位.  Since that time, three full-time and several experienced associate faculty have left. It is clear that despite the limited institutional resources, the number of full-time faculty should be increased to sustain the future of the department. While multiple areas of need are recognized, particularly striking was a lack of full-time faculty in 3D areas. Ceramics and Sculpture do have skilled associate faculty, 但全职教师将为这些大型且相当复杂的项目提供前瞻性的领导. Recognizing other departmental faculty needs, 可以寻找在艺术学术领域具有额外专业知识的通识教育领域c的教师, specifically Art History. 将工作人员的职位恢复到以前的水平对该部的整体健康特别重要. 实验室技术支持人员的职位应该恢复到以前的水平,以允许在学年期间建立的所有延迟维护.

We have reinstated the Secretary III role to 12-month.  We need to eventually hire an additional full-time instructor in the art academic area.

• As the Background Statement of the Art Department’s 2014 Program Review rightly states, “Art has been an integral part of human culture for over 30,000 years” (p. 1) and it remains essential by reinforcing our “shared beliefs and values” (p. 2), increasing our “empathy” (p. 3) and reinforcing our “social bonds” (p. 3). Because of the Arts’ central importance in human development and behavior, 看到近年来巴特艺术部门遭受的削减和限制,我感到非常沮丧. Therefore, 验证小组的建议是允许艺术系扩大其课程设置(这对学院来说也是有利可图的)。. 该团队还建议,在当前的工作室艺术课程中,寻求创造性的解决方案,以某种方式满足学生对技能发展的需求, inappropriate state-mandated limits on repeatability of classes.

由于学院的入学人数低于预期,我们正在努力增加课程.  In the past, 我们遇到了政府的阻力,他们把重点放在那些被认为是“完成议程”更核心的课程上。.  With enrollments continuing to decline, threatening the financial well-being of the college, the climate may be changing in favor of allowing the arts to grow and flourish once more

•我们建议艺术系查看目前在117页的目录中关于艺术专业要求的内容. Most of what is listed is aligned with Chico State, our biggest transfer destination; yet, the page does not reflect what is currently on assist.org for many majors.

We are now relying more on our AA-T degrees in Art History and Studio Art

•验证小组建议美术部门讨论并同意使用标准部门名称. Clearly denote the “programs” included within the Art Department. Ensure that signage on Art Department doors and walls, 宣传材料和学生指导文件反映了本系的正式组织结构和名称.

We are using the title “ARTS”.  This includes Art Academic, Art Studio, Photography, Fashion, and Drama

•验证团队建议美术部门继续处理有关调整运营预算的持续请求和关注. 教师和技术支持人员需要继续提供必要的投入,以支持和加强教学,并开展我们的项目运作. Unit Plans supply an important vehicle for facilities support, but more can be done outside of Unit Plan cycles. 例如,只有教师最清楚什么样的视觉传递系统在他们的课堂上最有效. 他们的意见应该得到尊重,并反映在学年不同时间的预算申请中. This includes support for the Art Resource Center.

This is in-progress and ongoing.

• The Validation Team recommends a renewed, more inclusive approach to the running of the Art Gallery. 同时,我们赞扬最近承担了大部分组织和展示画廊展览的个人, we believe that the vision for the Gallery should reflect a more broad consensus. We recommend that the Art Department, in conjunction with an advisory committee comprised of other interested, appropriate parties, both establish the vision and do planning for the Art Gallery. Ensure that input is gathered from more full-time and associate faculty. 我们也建议画廊不要太依赖于教职员工的个人捐赠. The Gallery requires the support of student assistants, 恢复重新分配的时间,让教师担任与画廊有关的领导角色,并为策展人提供津贴.

This is in-progress and ongoing.

• We recommend that the Art Department continue the ongoing work of SLO assessment, align Student Learning Outcomes with General Education outcomes, 并对部门内所有学科和/或项目实施六年评估周期.

This is in-progress and ongoing.
