Approval of Minutes
A motion was made by Preston McKever-Floyd to approve the November 19, 2014 minutes and seconded
by Arne Flaten. The motion passed unanimously.
Professional Development Funding for Remainder of Year
Rose Pleasant distributed spreadsheets to each of the chairs that detailed their current professional
development allocations and one that summarized the colleges’ allocations as a whole. She asked the
chairs to review their department spreadsheets and determine if they felt they had funds available for a
second call to the faculty. Dan Ennis reminded them that he was allowing them to overspend their
allocation by up to 10%. Rose also asked the chairs if they would like her to put out a college-wide call.
After some discussion, the chairs determined that they would prefer to handle the calls within the
department themselves and that a college-wide call was not necessary.
