Faculty Policies Committee Minutes

21 November 2005

Members present: Peggy Ruth Geren, Donna Hobbs, Wayne Mixon, Bob Reeves, Jana Sandarg, Bruce Saul, Mike Searles, Cathy Tugmon

•  Peggy Ruth called the meeting to order at 3:05 pm.

•  The FPC unanimously approved minutes from 14 November 05.

•  The FPC revisited “For Information Only” topics at faculty meetings. It was decided that we would change the policy in the Faculty Handbook (204.1) to include “all Deans” in the review process. It will be presented at a future faculty meeting.

•  Peggy Ruth appointed Jana Sandarg to reword the Cullum Committee structure description to include a “continuing” member to insure continuity from year to year.

•  The FPC discussed campus committee member responsibilities and how to best inform the members of their duties. Student participation on these committees was another topic of concern. Peggy Ruth will discuss this with the student government.

•  Peggy Ruth will compile the results of our student retention discussion summaries.

•  The meeting was adjourned at 4:00pm.

  Respectfully submitted,

Bruce Saul

Secretary
