ATTACHMENT 1
MARTIN
Reviewed membership of University committees and filled in openings.
5.
HIGH IMPACT LEARNING
SHAWN
CBTC push for the year – shared information from the University of Utah. Many of the things we already do, but
packaged into a student engagement experience. Examples of high impact learning. Chairs will share
inventory of what was done last year and set some goals for this year. Need to be deliberate. Get CPD
involved. Could also be incorporated into Gardner Institute.
6.
CHAIR EXCHANGE
TROY
Would it be helpful to have department chairs attend meetings in other departments? Could be a good way to
share information about what is happening in other areas. Also have academic chairs attend directors meetings
from Student Success and Student Support Services. How to make this useful without just adding more
meetings? May need some direction or sharing of agendas to facilitate beneficial conversations and to assist
with scheduling. Will review at next meeting.
7.
CIVILITY
MARTIN
There were some concerns about some of the conversations between faculty and the architects last week.
Need to explore options for addressing some of the negativity on campus – there is a lot of change happening
right now.
8.
AA DEGREES AT BSU
MARTIN
Michelle will follow up on this for next time.
9.
RESOURCES AND CURRICULUM CHANGES
COLLEEN
Conversation about curriculum change documents and need for evidence that it can be supported. Proposals
require proof of resources. Does this support the Master Academic Plan? Will be receiving budget numbers for
FY17 soon. Will require a longer look at faculty hires for the next year.
10.
INTERIM APPOINTMENTS
MARTIN
Current interim appointments will be maintained for two years.
