AGENDA ITEMS
CARRY OVER ITEM
1.
Role of the Dean at BSU
Martin
Reviewed summary of all submissions.
NEW ITEMS
1.
Changing Grades in E-Services
Jim
Discussed process for faculty request to change grades; do requests need to go through the
dean? Processes vary across campuses. Helpful to have some documentation to explain the
request, when request is made electronically. Patrick will check with Michelle to find a process
for offering justification for this
2.
Course Evaluation pilot
Patrick
Is there a department that would pilot the course eval process this year? Includes using the CPD
form, and working with IR to manage the process. Reviewed options of piloting one department
from each college this spring.
3.
Program indicators
Patrick
Doug shared numbers. Discussion about how these numbers are used, what they mean.
Departments should use these numbers to review their own trends from past 3 years; where are
they going and how does this help plan for the future? Could Doug present data from 3 years for
each department? Also discussed how we can provide assistance with post graduate follow up
data/indicators.
4.
Discussion of PDP/Tenure/Promotion deadlines
Colleen
Some confusion about dates for these processes. Helpful to clarify. Patrick and Martin will
address this.
5.
Online/face course assignment
Martin
Reviewed process for determining how decisions are made in terms of which faculty teach which
courses; lower division vs upper division, online vs on campus and the impact of those decisions
on student retention. Could this be an open forum topic? How can this be used as a retention
tool? Include conversation about how faculty can assist with recruitment and retention of students
and colleagues.
6.
Summer schedules for assistant
Colleen / Jim
Request for alternate summer work schedule. Possibility to reduce hours for some office staff
positions in the summer? Referred to clerical study from a couple of years ago. Discussed
reviewing coverage across campus in the summer, to determine staffing needs. Possibility of 9
month contract with additional days added in the summer as needed. Will check with HR to see
what the options are within AFSCME.
7.
Other
Reviewed Meet and Confer items; rostering, hiring check list, evaluations
