1. Call to Order:
The meeting was called to order at 1:05 PM.
2. Approval of Minutes:
Minutes from the previous meeting were approved as corrected.
3. President’s Report:
Englert, McGarvey, and Evans succeeded in reducing the policies on syllabi and office hours from 13 to 3 pages. The new policies should be made public shortly.
EPPC met yesterday with Englert. Englert has written a report to Dr. Hart summarizing many changes with respect to Gen Ed. This should be made public soon.
Evans has asked the chair of EPPC to meet with the GEEC to further resolve the question of where the boundary lines are between the two committees. Aiken suggested that it might be worthwhile for Gaffney, Evans, and Halbert to meet together first to pave the way for the larger meeting.
4. Vice-President’s Report (In writing from Turner):
We continue to encourage committees to develop/refine their charges. Several committees still need members.
5. Old Business:
Aiken asked about the status of courses off for the President and Vice president of the Senate. Evans responded that there is nothing new to report. A brief discussion clarified our general belief that there had been a proposal to allocate provostial resources to provide courses off for the President and Vice President and also a certain number of courses, as needed, for selected
FSSC members who were undertaking particularly time consuming tasks.
The Provost's search continues apace with airport interviews scheduled next week.
6. New Business:
There was a brief discussion of security and the need for a consistent approach to checking IDs at building entrances
7. Adjournment:
The meeting was adjourned at 2:15 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Paul S. LaFollette, Jr.
Secretary
