Minutes of the November 19 meeting were approved.

 

  1. Graduation attendance:  Faculty have inquired about the requirement for 60% graduation attendance.  Paul Harris asked the President about this and was told it was only a request.

 

  1. Faculty Secretary: Paul Harris will tell Dr. Bompart that the possibility of finding anyone to fill the post looks dim under the current situation.  It appears there will need to be greater rewards or diminished responsibility.  The administration  may need to provide additional resources or, at least, give “significant service” credit. A subcommittee of Paul Harris, Andy Hauger, and Bill Dodd with discuss this with Dr. Bompart.

 

  1. Distance Learning Committee:  Bill Dodd will look into Rose Axton’s request that the Distance Learning Committee be made a Standing Committee.

 

  1. Tom Crute’s reduction of paperwork proposal:  Donna Hobbs and Andy Hauger will talk to Tom to clarify what is needed to implement this.

 

  1. Mandatory Student Fee Committee:  Bruce Saul volunteered to be the FPC representative.  Paul Harris will check that someone is representing the interests of the Student Technology Fee on the Mandatory Student Fee Committee.

 

  1. Gordon Eisenman requested that the International Affairs Coordinator be placed on the International Affairs Committee.  Bill Dodd will write this up and bring it to us for the next faculty meeting.

 

  1. The next FPC meeting will be Monday, January 14 at 3:00 P.M.

 

The meeting adjourned at 3:50 P.M.
