Approval of Minutes
 After in depth discussion about section III (Guidelines). The group decided to retain the
current wording.

Discussion Points


Lecturer Space
o Lecturers serve as an integral part of the campus community, and
should be provided an office space.
o Discussion ensued about how to make an equitable distribution since
every department and every college has vastly different needs.
o Potential to work from home didn’t seem to be a viable option.
o The group will try to determine the best allocation based on
percentages of WTU’s and then let the colleges decide the best use of
that allocation.
o There should be some offices set aside for the “margin” in order to
make this functional
Student Space (All)
o After a very in depth conversation regarding all spaces available to
students, the group decided unanimously that they have no inclination
to take any of that space for faculty offices at the current time. Realizing
this could change as we grow.
III. Action Items


Ferpers, whether ½ time or 1 and 0 are not entitled to individual office space. Every
FERP faculty will be expected to share office space, generally at a rate of 2:1.
For faculty with Emeritus status, each College could designate one space to be
shared by all emeriti in the College.
A faculty member appointed to an alternate position lasting a year or longer will
only hold one office. Other offices will be made available to lecturers during the term
of the alternate appointment. An exception can be made for offices connected to lab
space.
Guidelines will be shared with the Senate once approved by the Provost..
