Welcome and Agenda

meeting
Minutes of September 18, 2015
·
Were distributed and approved via
electronic vote prior to this meeting.
Invited Guests
Jonathan Finch was scheduled to discuss reserved parking
issues and had to cancel due to an illness in the family. Members asked that Meg reschedule with
Jonathan and to add issues related to parking control to the agenda. It was agreed that if Jonathan could not make
the next meeting, that we would ask him to provide information to the Senate in
writing. Meg agreed to follow up.
Old Business
Tom Hiebel discussed the Lean Processes Pilot Program.
He mentioned that faculty senate will have input to the processes
selected for review. Preliminary processes mentioned included: curriculum
changes, course substitutions and the graduation application process, and
transfer credit. It was agreed that we
need more information related to process changes that are currently in the
works before we would reach out to Faculty for input related to processes and
priorities.
New Business
·
The upcoming construction project and its
effect on faculty parking was discussed. Amy Roberts made a motion that faculty
request that any faculty parking losses resulting from the construction effort
be replaced by an equal number of spaces which could be reallocated from
student parking. Stacey Frank seconded
the motion. The motion carried by unanimous consent. Tom Hiebel agreed to make a formal request of
Ken Kopera.
·
Stacey Frank indicated that a faculty
member had expressed concern about how compensation for an overload course was
calculated. Apparently, the amount was less than previous overload calculations.
Stacey agreed to follow up with the
individual to obtain more details and if an issue exists Tom Hiebel agreed to
take up the matter with Sharon Colcolough in Human Resources.

held on Friday November 20, 2015 at 11:00 AM.
