Motion of Support for Council of Presidents Legislative Policy by the Association of Florida Colleges
The Association of Florida Colleges (AFC) encourages and supports the Council of Presidents in its efforts
to secure Legislative and Executive Office of the Governor support for funding and other initiatives at
Florida’s 28 state and community colleges that will enhance the State’s economic and workforce
development.
FLORIDA FIRST
The AFC recognizes that in 2012 the Florida College System Council of Presidents adopted a three‐year
plan entitled “Florida First”. The AFC supports and recognizes that the Florida First plan will enhance the state’s efforts in economic development and workforce preparation to benefit further the goals and
benchmarks promulgated and addressed programmatically by the Florida college system institutions,
and that ultimately the students they serve will reap the biggest rewards.
The AFC supports the Florida First plan to make Florida colleges:
First in Success and Completion
First in Preparation for Careers
First in Access and Affordability
First in Accountability
The AFC supports the Council of Presidents in its request for the Year Two Legislative Funding Request of
$150,000,000 to continue implementing the following Florida First goals:
Student Achievement and Success $40,000,000
To maximize our ability to provide comprehensive student support services to facilitate student
progression toward educational and career goals
Performance Capacity and Compression $20,000,000
To continue to provide greater capacity for performance by reducing the funding disparity among
colleges.
Performance Capacity/Funding Model $43,000,000
To address expansion of system‐wide capacity to be distributed through the Funding Allocation
Model.
Performance Outcomes
For outcomes‐based funding to reward performance on key indicators including cost per graduate,
average wages of employed graduates, and percentage of graduates employed or continuing their
education.
Workforce Grants $25,000,000
For meeting specific performance goals through competitive grants to create or expand sustainable
capacity in programs that prepare students for careers in high‐skill/high‐wage/high‐demand
occupations.
Operating Costs of New Facilities $2,000,000
To provide needed funds for opening new instructional facilities.
PHILIP BENJAMIN MATCHING FUNDS
The AFC supports and encourages the Council of Presidents in its efforts to seek funds to address the
Philip Benjamin Facilities Matching Fund program of $244,000,000 already committed.
ACCESS FOR VETERANS
The AFC supports and encourages the elimination of barriers for military veterans to obtain access to
tuition rates at the lowest possible levels available to all Floridians
DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION
The AFC supports and encourages the Council of Presidents in its efforts to implement reforms to
developmental education passed in the 2013 Legislature, and the use of Florida First funding aimed at
improving capacity for student success.
OTHER POLICY ISSUES
The AFC supports and encourages the Council of Presidents in its efforts to promote student success in
the Florida College System by addressing other policy issues such as:
Online education/Competency ‐based credit
Industry certifications
Dual enrollment funding support
Be it so moved on this day, the 27th of September 2013, by its Board of Directors, that the AFC supports
and encourages the Council of Presidents for the funding request and initiatives aforementioned, and
commits to working as needed and requested to obtain Legislative support and Executive Office of the
Governor approval of them.
On behalf of the AFC:

ARTICLE 19 - ADDITION OF NEW DIVISIONS NOTE: THIS ARTICLE WILL BE PLACED IN THE CONSTITUTION AS ARTICLE 19 AND ALL
SUBSEQUENT ARTICLES IN THE CONSTITUTION SHALL BE RENUMBERED (CURRENT ARTICLE 19 SHALL BECOME ARTICLE 20 AND SO ON)
The FCSAA is committed to serving the growing and changing student demographics in the state. To this end, the association shall actively identify and recruit new divisions for participation in all association activities. An individual or member college shall adhere to the following policy and guidelines to seek the addition of a new division.
A. A member college or an individual from any member college (Petitioner) may initiate the procedure for division sanctioning by the FCSAA. This shall be done by completing the official “FCSAA New Division Petition” available on the FCSAA website or through the FCSAA Executive Director.
B. The Petitioner shall gather data from all member colleges to insure that the proposed activity has
either substantial breadth or depth of student interest and participation. Breadth shall address the number of colleges which support the activity and depth shall address the number of students who participate in the activity at an individual member college. This shall be done by completing the official “FCSAA New Division College Data Form” available on the FCSAA website or through the FCSAA Executive Director The FCSAA Steering Committee will serve as the screening committee for Petitions and shall review the data provided by the petitioner to insure that either the breadth or depth of the new activity meet or exceed the involvement level of the active divisions within the FCSAA. If a majority of the Screening Committee votes that the new division meets such criteria, it will be presented as an item of new business for the FCSAA Executive Committee for final approval and will receive the designation of ASSOCIATE DIVISION.
C. The petitioner shall then contact at least 66% of member colleges which currently have or plan to
add the activity of the Associate Division. The petitioner shall then coordinate an election with advisors or leaders from those schools to determine an Associate Division Representative. The Associate Division Representative shall sit as a non-voting member on the FCSAA Executive Committee. The Associate Division Representative shall fulfill all responsibilities as outlined in Article 4 of the FCSAA Constitution.
D. The Associate Division Representative shall work with the FCSAA Executive Director to
establish a constitution and by-laws which adhere to the rules and regulations outlined in the FCSAA Constitution, By-Laws and Policies. The Associate Division Representative shall also work with the Executive Director to establish a three to five year strategic plan and budget for the Associate Division. This process shall commence after the first meeting of the Executive Committee and shall conclude with the next regularly scheduled spring meeting.
E. The Associate Division shall develop and plan, including a proposed budget, at least one annual
event which shall be attended by both advisors and students in the new activity. This event shall have a defined purpose which allows students the opportunity to: engage in competition (athletic, academic, or artistic) or collaborate (for academic, leadership, civic, or pragmatic goals). The Associate Division Representative shall collaborate with the Executive Director in developing the event. Once the Executive Director deems the event to meet the criteria identified above, it shall be presented to the next meeting of the Screening Committee. If a majority of the screening committee votes that the event meets such criteria, it will be presented as an item of new business for the FCSAA Executive Committee for final approval.
F. After an Associate Division has completed the responsibilities outlined above for a minimum of
two years, it shall become eligible for Division status in the FCSAA. The Associate Division Representative shall collaborate with the Executive Director to complete the Petition for Recognition of Division. The petition shall be presented to the Screening Committee. If a majority of the screening committee votes that the Associate Division has successfully developed
its mission to the students and the association, it will be presented as an item of new business for the FCSAA Executive Committee for final approval. Upon the approval and recognition by the Executive Committee, the new division will enjoy all the benefits and rights offered to the existing divisions within the association.
G. If the petition for full division status is denied, the Associate Division must wait one calendar year
before reapplying with the FCSAA. The Associate Division must follow all steps outlined in Article 19 and may not circumvent or omit any steps in the reapplication. Any data collected for the first petition may not be used for reapplication to the FCSAA.
