Agenda items: Old Business
1. Cullum Ad Hoc Committee – Jana Sandarg
will report on the status of the application for the new class in January .
2. Sexual Harassment Committee Report – Drafts
undergoing revision. Scheduled to report in January.
3. Retention/Graduation Study – Dr. Wendy
Turner suggested an analogy for the report; the faculty and staff of ASU are
the true Arsenal Oak, with deep roots through time and the community, something
that will not be measured by statistics. FPC members suggested additional
methods of combating the perception that we have a high failure rate, and they
suggested organizational approaches to the data in the report. Andy Hauger has
an example of a previous retention report from Ed Pettit which will be used as
a starting point for format. Bill Dodd will add an additional cuts of
<430/430, 330-429
and 310-399 and send them to the committee. A report will be prepared within
the next two weeks, then more issues on this topic
will be approached starting in January. Andy Hauger will prepare the numerical
parts of the report, based on the existing handout he did two weeks ago. Gordon
Eisenman will prepare the more narrative section. Michelle Benedict and Sabina
Widner will prepare a problem statement and introduction. Hauger will provide
Widner with an OIIT address she will need. The sections are due to be done by
next Monday. Jim Garvey will take the sections and do a final rewrite.
