III. Announcements – none
IV. Approval of Minutes from Last Meeting - The 12/13/11 minutes were unanimously approved via email after the meeting.
V. Business
a. MGen Rosa, BG Hines and BG Elzey – General Rosa addressed the group on a wide range of topics with respect to cadets: academic performance, admission trends, upperclassmen retention, attrition, physical fitness, discipline, and alcohol/drugs. He also provided updates on the Reville case, institutional risk analysis, budget, development plans, deferred maintenance, alumni giving, and marketing. Overall, his assessment is we are moving in the right direction. The three generals then fielded questions from Council members on the following topics: cadet use of smokeless tobacco, scheduling of non-technical major math classes in sophomore versus freshman year, upperclassmen retention, and poor condition of some Capers Hall classrooms.
b. Faculty Council Subcommittee Reports – The last ten minutes of the meeting were devoted to the Subcommittee for Faculty Council Constitution and Bylaws (Steve Cotter -Chair, Tom Dion, Siripong Potisuk) – all proposed amendments to the draft constitution were discussed. Based on Council discussions, the subcommittee Chair, Steve Cotter, will update the draft and transmit the most current document to all Faculty Council members. The Draft Faculty Council Constitution will be voted on in Feb.
A suggestion was made to include school/department membership numbers and authorized representation in the Bylaws
VI. Adjournment - Chair Rudolph adjourned the meeting at 12:04.
VII. Next Meeting – Feb 28, 2012, 1100 hours Bond Hall 295.
