The Minutes of January 18, January 26, and February
1, 2001 were distributed. The following
corrections were made on all three sets of Minutes: Faculty Representatives should be changed to Faculty Senate
Representatives and Nabeel Barakat should be included. Wendy Hollis’ name should be deleted from
Faculty AFT Representative and listed as Budget Committee Chair, Non-Voting. Previous Minutes where representatives were
listed incorrectly by category will remain as is.
Change in Name from Management Information systems (MIS)
to Information Technology (IT) and Change in Name from Educational Technology
Committee (ETC0 to Information Technology Advisory Committee)
Josh Abarbanel distributed a list of several
recommendations of the Educational Technology Committee. It is recommended that MIS should be IT,
Information Technology, with a dean level position reporting directly to the
President. Dr. Spink feels it would be
better to have the organizational structure changed from the Vice President of
Academic Affairs to the President for MIS/IT, but she cannot support a dean
position because of the current financial situation. It was also recommended that the ETC should become ITAC, Information
Technology Advisory Committee.
Draft on Governance
Nabeel Barakat distributed a diagram that he, Dr. Hudson, Ms. Malone and Mr. Stanbery worked on. Some members felt it was not clear as to where all groups would fit into one another. There are two committees that are contractual and those are budget and work environment. The Academic Senate is in the process of working on their structure.
June Smith suggested we look at what are our
functions are, who needs to sit on the committees, and how do they fit into the
Educational Master Plan. Operations
don’t need to go through the Academic Senate; however, policy does. Matriculation is a Senate responsibility and
so is retention.
After much discussion, Dr. Spink will call the
subcommittee together to discuss. Ms.
Hawley indicated that Tuesdays are bad for her. Nick Webb could brief her on what's taken place so far.
The Senate voted on having a forum. They would like to have a joint meeting on
Thursday, March 15, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. to discuss general governance
issues. This would take place
immediately after the Senate meeting.
We would discuss where we are at that point in time.
We hope to get 3,000 registered votes. The deadline is March 22.
