Karlin President Karlin reported that the Executive Council is continuing discussion with the administration regarding parking issues. He also reported that there are 50 spots available in the Oak and Maple lots on Wednesdays for the rest of the semester. Permits are available from the security booth and are on a first come, first served basis. The first draft of the revised Strategic Plan is on the Intranet for review and there will be 2 open forums on March 19 and 20 to provide comments and feedback to the committee. The All-College Research Committee will need new representation from both CA and SSHS for the next academic year and Board of Trustee committees will need members. There is a new Board of Trustees Human Resources Committee that will also need a faculty representative. Current faculty representatives to the Board of Trustees committees may stand for re-election. The Executive Council will need a new Councilor-At-Large representative and a New Faculty representative for the 2007-2008 academic year. TLTR needs representatives from each academic unit. Faculty Showcase Social Science & Human Services was presented by Jillian Weiss and highlighted publications, conference presentations, and projects conducted by several faculty within the unit. Provost's Report: B. Barnett The summer high school pilot program has been canceled but is still on the agenda for Cabinet discussion. The Summer Task Force is continuing to look at possible ideas. Provost Barnett is setting up open office hours which will be posted on the Office webpage. An admission update was provided that detailed the increase in applications, up 4% to over 5000, reserved students are up 16%, and the freshman goal stands at 900. Larger numbers of transfer students were also reported. The Provost also reported on personnel actions including the draft job description for the CIO, forming a search committee for the Enrollment Manager, and posting of the College Librarian position. Faculty representatives for search committees will be needed. Union Report: R. Lowell The Union has hired a professional negotiator for the statewide contract. CWA has received and offer from the state and it is expected that the AFT contract will not differ greatly. Pension give-backs and health care are primary issues statewide. Membership lists and new member cards are available near the coffee and cookies the Union provided for the Faculty Assembly. Local negotiations are ongoing and there is a list of approximately 12 items to be worked on at the local level including family leave. Decision Item: International Education Committee Mission Statement Members of the International Education Committee presented their report and Mission Statement to the Faculty Assembly for comment and vote. Committee members provided background information on the development of the statement and answered questions from the audience. Questions from the audience included the vision statement as admissions criteria, cultural outcomes, order of objectives, physical science, and additional suggestions. The Committee agreed to consider all suggestions and comments from the Assembly and incorporate changes as necessary. A vote was taken by paper ballot and the results were: Yes 67, No 4, Abstain 1. The Mission Statement was accepted. Discussion Items: 1. Scheduling of Wednesday meeting times for 2007/2008 academic year: the CEP schedule has a class on Wednesdays until 2:45pm so meeting times were adjusted to 3pm. Executive Council has discussed the importance of adequate meeting time and wanted to begin a discussion with input from the faculty. Comments from the Assembly included the common lunch hour from 1-2pm, shorten breaks between classes, time needed to mount adequate programs, classroom and lab space, lengthening meeting time to 6pm, time for teaching circles, workshops, and other faculty development, flexibility in Wednesday morning time slots for various units, and that full-time faculty were not supposed to teach during the Wednesday 11:30am-2:45pm slot. Academic Units will need to continue discussing this issue among themselves and may submit feedback to their representatives on the Executive Council. 2. Selection of Deans: a question was forwarded to the Executive Council regarding the process of selecting deans. Traditionally, each unit has elected their dean from among the faculty to serve for a specified term. Comments from the Assembly included concern for national searches, professional deans vs. faculty deans, faculty say in the selection of deans, and a request for the deans job description. President Mercer responded to many of the comments stating that faculty participation in the dean selection is always needed but what is more important is finding the right person for the job. The Executive Council again asked that units consider this issue at the unit level and submit feedback to their representatives. ARC Report: J, Lipkin ARC has approved 11 academic requests and has been charged by the Provost, through the Executive Council, to develop goals and objectives for the General Education Program. They have also approved a request to change the Physics major to an Engineering Physics major. ARC has approved a proposal from the Anisfield School of Business for a minor in Information Systems. Information regarding the proposed minor will be posted on the Faculty Assembly webpage for review and vote by mail ballot. Reports from Faculty Representatives to BOT Committees Academic and Student Affairs: Sharon Rubin reported approval of title changes and emeritus status awards. Capital Improvements: Eric Weiner reported that the Anisfield School of Business building is going up on schedule, plans for the proposed spiritual center are progressing, and second round bids for the sustainability center came in higher than expected. The athletic fields are being renovated, a multipurpose field is going in, tree plantings will take place around campus, and wetlands mitigations and restoration due to the loop road construction will be under way. They are working on a master plan for landscaping and revitalizing the campus grove. Finance: Murray Sabrin was not available for a report. Institutional Advancement and Alumni Relations: Ellen Kaiden reported that the spiritual center will be named the Salameno Spiritual Center.
