Staffing Priorities Committee

The Ventura College Faculty Staffing Priorities Committee (SPC) is a subcommittee of the Academic Senate. As defined in the Senate's By-Laws, the primary purpose of the Faculty Staffing Priorities Committee is to develop criteria for evaluating requests for full-time faculty positions and then to prioritize requests for full-time faculty positions. This committee invites the campus community, by division, to present their requests for full-time faculty hiring needs. The committee listens to faculty presentations, prioritizes positions, and sends the list to the Academic Senate for ratification, and then on to the college president. Upon ratification by the Senate, the SPC's rankings are valid until June 30 of that current academic year.

Membership:

The Faculty Staffing Priorities Committee is comprised of the following eleven (11) committee members: the current Senate Executive committee, one (1) additional past senate president, and four (4) members at-large (one from student development/student services, one from vocational/technology area, and two from general education areas.), two (2) at-large members selected by the Senate Council.  The committee operates with the understanding that none of the members represent a constituent group but rather maintain a college-wide perspective. This structure is in place to allow the smallest departments and/or disciplines adequate representation, to avoid intra-departmental conflicts and to decrease the interference of campus politics and/or personality issues. The membership of this committee is appointed for two (2) consecutive years.
