Reports presented from:
1. Faculty Senate Chair, Dr. Barbara Can-
Specific topics of interest to faculty include: SFA 98 plan, merit pay, and salaries;
regarding current review of modified employment policy, two faculty concerns: a)
possibility of too many part-time faculty who might be involved to a lesser degree at the
institutional level than full time faculty and 2) if the intent is to change the current policy,
that commitments made to individuals already in the program should be honored and any
policy change should be made as quickly as possible for benefit of faculty in the age group
needing to make retirement plans now; expressed appreciation for the addition to the
workload policy clarifying role of the Faculty Senate Chair, for the invitation to be present
for the Board meeting, and the pleasure of delivering a positive message from the Faculty
Senate.
2. Student Government Association, President, Joel Wyatt and Vice President, Kim Edge
