3. President's Report:
President Evans reported on the status of the search. A lively discussion ensued, particularly about the continuing concerns with the remaining candidates' unwillingess to encounter Temple's faculty while more than one candidate remains.
Discussion of the Curriculum Development Position Paper led to s ome minor proposed changes. It was suggested by Ira Shapiro that this and our other position papers might be submitted with a cover letter which stresses the overarching theme of centralization vs. decentralization.
We finalized the FSSC calendar for the end of the academic year. Our luncheon meeting will be on May 9.
4. Vice President's Report:
The preparation of the ballot proceeds apace. We still lack a few candidates for committee positions.
