Announcements
Dr. Lupi announced that all the student names have been submitted for the scholar convocation and
award ceremony on April 24 @ 5:00. Patti is working on the letters to the students. The draft program
agenda will be available soon for proofing.
John Kemppainen shared an observation from his recent FACTE conference; John Hanson from the
University of Florida gave a 15 year report. He reported that 15 years ago there was 33 ways to become
fully certified in the state of Florida. During that time 6,000 teacher were produced a year. Currently
there are 89 ways to become teacher certified and the teacher turn-out is still the same.
Institutional Review Board - Dr. Daniel received feedback from various folks in the college after he sent
a note around based on the discussion at the last CLT meeting. Faculty from LSCSM has voiced
concerns from colleagues and doctoral students. Dr. Scheirer and Dr. Daniel met with Jennifer Wessely,
Chair of the IRB. Krista Paulson, previous IRB chair, also sat in on the meeting. During the meeting they
discussed the timeliness of exempt study reviews which need to be improved. Jennifer Wessely is going
to focus on two things at the next board meeting.
 Developing a timeline for revision of the SOPs.
 Come up with a set of temporary measures that might move research through the process.
Suspend the rules with an explanation of how the review of exempt studies can be handled in a
more sufficient manner. Dr. Daniel and Dr. Scheirer asked for a timeline. A timeline could not be
given, but at the end of the meeting it was stated that it would take a year for the SOPs to be
modified.
Dr. Daniel feels the concerns were taken seriously; an honest effort was made and positive results are
hopeful. Dr. Daniel meets with Provost Traynham today; he will seek help with change of the ongoing
issues with the IRB concerns. Dr. Daniel will continue to move this forward.
In the case of the doctoral students, Dr. Cornett proposes funneling everything to Dr. Godwyll for
preliminary signoff after the doctoral chair signs off. Conversations will continue with the Provost.
Dr. O’Farrell shared that Carol Malicki’s replacement, Sarah Brennan, will be joining COEHS in the fall.
Sarah has come highly recommended. Her background is ESE, Elementary, and Jr. High School.
Dr. O’Farrell thanked Dr. Venn and Dr. Patterson for allowing Dr. Stanley and Dr. Seabrooks-Blackmore
to sit on that group.
Dr. Daniel sent a memo regarding the CELT chair candidates. It is an open forum time with an invite to
the college community. Please make every effort to get these on your calendars.
Interviews are set for the two candidates for the Director of Assessment position. The times will be sent
out shortly; it will be in late April.
Resource request for next fiscal year

next year. Dr. Daniel took the list previously developed and divided it by department or unit. Chairs if
you would like to see a different priority order please indicate and the priorities can be moved around.

non-recurring monies come easier.

Summer Budget (LS)
The summer schedule is into the summer management system. We are $34,000 over budget. The only
problem is COEHS is $71,000 over budget for summer A. What Linda is going to have to do is pay the
instructors teaching in Summer A throughout summer C, and this may be the majority of the faculty.
Other Business

part of the FTCE has gone up to 71% in order to pass. Our students will have to do better on the FTCE
