2.     Mission: Relentless Improvement”

 

John asked everyone to think about what should and should not be reviewed by the Committee.  Also, he asked what the Committee’s mission should be. Currently, there is a “domino effect” when changes are made, which needs to be better streamlined across campus.  Many programs are surprised by changes from other programs. 

 

 

 

 

3.     Volunteers to help shape new WIDS process

 

John asked for volunteers to help shape the new WIDS process, which will be much more flexible and user friendly.  Suzanne Ellenberger and Janet Fuller both volunteered to help. 

 

 

4.     Other Business

 

John is proposing a change to the Committee.  He suggests having one representative from each division serve a three-year term.  The representatives would be staggered to keep the Committee fresh.  

 

Tracy Ethridge felt that in the past, the Committee spent more time correcting typos than deciding how the changes would affect other programs.  She feels that more time should be spent analyzing the forms. 

 

Marla Roberson suggested including the numerous resources available at the library for various programs into course syllabi.   

 

John asked everyone to hold onto changes for the new catalog until he requests them. 

 

Scott Harvey reminded everyone that deadlines are imperative.  Deadlines need to be communicated to everyone to avoid delays.  Tracy suggested finding the date Galen would like to have everything by and then filtering the deadlines from that date. 

 

Suzanne Ellenberger suggested having two representatives from Arts and Sciences Division. 

           

 

The meeting adjourned at 12:45 p.m.
