Dean’s Report
Michael reported the following:
Budget Update/Concerns
• Be alert to House budget. Copies of two recent emails were distributed to the
council on budget. Please review this information and send specific
questions by email to Michael. This information should be shared with
faculty and staff.
Provost Council - Update -Tuesday, May 12th - Dan
• Pay for Print– each employee will be assigned a home organization for
charges. There will be the ability for a person with multiple funding sources
to choose which fund to charge. Issues with logistics are still being worked
on. There will be a back-up for supply of paper located in the building for
users to load in the machine as needed. Killian is on the schedule for
deployment next week. More information will be forthcoming on the
management of the program. Michael reminded the council to plan for payfor-print in their unit budget and recommended units keep a small reserve of
paper on hand in case of emergency.

Kim
Kim gave a list of remaining supplies from the Legislator’s School to the council
members. A “free” yard sale will be held Friday, May 22nd.
Google Analytics and Webpages
Lee
A code will be assigned to your webpage. This tracking feature will allow units to know
how many visitors viewed the website and where visitors are coming from. Lee
reminded council members to be sure to add the code number to every page, not just the
homepage, to fully activate the tracking feature. If a unit needs assistance to do this,
please contact Lee or Carla.
Proposal for Distribution of CEAP Computers*
Lee
CEAP needs a plan to manage its technology resources for the next two years since
there will not be a refresh this summer; and, it is highly likely that a refresh will not
occur next year. A proposal to manage technology resources was discussed with the
council. The council recommended the following changes: reflect a high need for
faculty who teach distance learning courses and put new student computers into service
using the older equipment as back-up/spare parts. The "permission to remove assets
from campus" form will be updated to include a print name line.
Ken reported there are laptops in the Office of Field Experiences available for check out
for use with remote supervision. Currently, about 50% of those computers are in use.
There has been success with using Illuminate in distance supervision. Bob Houghton
has offered to provide training for faculty on Illuminate at the beginning of the fall
semester. Budget issues encourage advancing the use of remote supervision and the
laptops. Michael asked Lee to find out the cost to purchase Elluminate software. Dee
also reported success with student interns submitting a DVD of their teaching.
Computer carts in Blue Ridge and Isothermal will be brought back to campus next
week. The computers on the cart in Blue Ridge are obsolete will be sent to surplus. The
cart from Isothermal will be placed in Reid for class use.
Intern Supervision Travel Reimbursements
Ken
Ken asked department heads to remind faculty to submit travel reimbursements as soon
as possible if a reimbursement has not been submitted for the spring semester. Intern
supervisors should submit travel reimbursements on a monthly basis. Ken will let
department heads know when his office receives a reimbursement request that reflects
longer than a one month time period.
Jamaica Accreditation Update
Dan
Dan reported there is an issue with some graduates of the Jamaican program where their
degrees were not being recognized by the Jamaican ministry. Please let faculty know
that there are isolated incidents where students are not receiving the right level of pay
based on their degree and WCU is addressing the issue.
Election Update
Mary
Ballots have been sent to faculty by email. Ballots are due to Windy Gordon by Friday,
May 29th. The council recommended future elections should be held each year in
February with results reported to the college in March. This would ensure a higher
response rate. Windy is working with IT to hold the election electronically next year.
