DISCUSSION
Howard welcomed everyone and opened the meeting at 1:05pm. Howard introduced Colin Young as the new committee member of IEC.
Howard shared with the group that there was low participation in the planning training sessions compared to previous years. This could be an indication that users now have more experience in using PlanBuilder.
The committee reviewed the Faculty and Classified weight templates and questions. Gene brought up the disparity with Classified and Faculty question regarding past rankings. The
Classified question goes deeper on the number of unfunded ranked positions.
Colin expressed concern about question
1 on Faculty template – mandated or not? All agreed to remove question 1 from Faculty template.
All agreed on the Resource Allocation committee member and meeting process.
Due to problems with DropBox, the committee was unable to access previous documents. The group work will resume at next IEC meeting.
Howard will discuss the ranking question in a meeting with Adam, Teresa, and Kenn.
Colin will bring up the information with the Academic
Senate.

Howard. The document was also handed out at the last PFC meeting.
Howard has not yet received any feedback from PFC.
Howard has started populating
Recommendation 7.2 Question 1
(Current RHC Practice). IEC gave recommendations for input. Howard will continue to work on populating the sections.

12 and 20 (Classified).
This year there are new questions and a new process. The committee make up will be the same as last year.
In preparation for the Planning Retreat,
Howard proposed a Goals & Objectives assignment for the table groups ahead of time and to assign a person with

The table group listing will be sent to

Some ideas for an Ice Breaker activity:
- SSI topic
- A conversation on “How can I help a student succeed?”
- Rebecca suggested breaking into 4 groups (VP’s and Teresa). Howard will discuss this idea with Teresa.
- Colin suggested identifying an ongoing/continuous problem at Rio and proposing ideas on how to solve.
Howard suggested that instead of sitting with assigned table group, sit at a table with a topic you are interested in talking about.
Howard suggested sending out the table topics ahead of time.
The committee talked about attendees being able to choose what table to sit at during the morning, and then moving to assigned table after lunch.
Rebecca suggested a working lunch – maybe listen to a presentation during lunch. The committee agreed that this was a good idea.
It was suggested to have an additional activity so the group can have opportunity to work together prior to the
Goals and Objectives session. Rebecca

If the Employee Climate Survey is given online, then each employee would be assigned a unique, untraceable number.
