IV. Approval of Minutes from Last Meeting

The 8/30/11 minutes were approved. A motion was made, seconded and approved concerning the administration of minutes:

1) The Secretary will email the draft minutes to Faculty Council members (as opposed to posting them in draft form on the Faculty Council website)

2) Once minutes are approved at a subsequent meeting, the minutes will be posted on the Faculty Council website http://www.citadel.edu/fcmte-faccouncil/minutes.html

3) Faculty Council members are responsible for informing their department members concerning the Faculty Council meeting.

 

V. Business

a. Child Care Survey – Staff Council asked the Faculty Council to poll faculty concerning interest in on-campus child care. Approximately half of Faculty Council members responded with department voting results: 39 yes (interested), 18 (not interested), and 51 (no opinion). Chair Rudolph passed the results to Staff Council.

b. Global Initiatives Committee Charter – approved

c. Faculty Manual – the committee voted to create a subcommittee to update the manual.

d. Student Awards Committee – after discussing a written recommendation from last year's Chairman of the Student Awards Committee to Chair Rudolph to do away with the Student Awards Committee, our committee voted to request Chair Rudolph to discuss the matter with the Chair of Staff Committee before the Faculty Committee would take any action.

e. Establishment of Subcommittees – the following Faculty Council members volunteered for the following:

  1. Subcommittee for Faculty Recognition Awards – Joelle Neulander (Chair), Kirstin Steele, Tom Thompson, Tammy Graham
  2. Subcommittee for Faculty Council Constitution and Bylaws – Steve Cotter (Chair), Tom Dion, Siripong Potisuk
  3. Subcommittee to Update of Faculty Manual – Tim Keogh (Chair), Mike Barth, George Rudolph
  4. Subcommittee for Faculty Governance – Frances Frame, Al Finch, Wes Dudgeon, Zane Segle - Chair to be decided by the volunteers

Chair Rudolph requested subcommittees proceed with actions to study, gather information, discuss, and make recommendations. His expectation is to receive subcommittee progress reports at the next meeting.

Faculty Council members not present today may contact Chair Rudolph to request placement on a subcommittee.
