IV. Approval of Minutes from Last Meeting - The 5/1/12 minutes were unanimously approved.
V. Business
a. Review of Constitution and Bylaws - Chair Rudolph reminded committee members both documents are posted on the Faculty Council webpage. He reminded members of the mission of Faculty Council
- To consider institutional problems and policies; to study, discuss, and make recommendations concerning them.
- To serve as a channel of communication between the faculty and the administration.
b. Undergraduate Admissions Committee – a request was forwarded from the Undergraduate Admissions Committee through the Committee on Committees to Faculty Council either disband the Undergraduate Admissions Committee or create a new charter. The consensus of the Undergraduate Admissions Committee is that the committee had no meaningful mission or role. After discussion, a motion to deactivate the committee was unanimously approved. The committee will remain on the books but will be unstaffed pending further study.
c. Title IX Presentation – Janet Shealy and Emma Bennett provided a 30-minute overview of the sexual harassment and sexual violence training that all faculty and staff will be receiving this year.
d. Business of the Faculty Council for AY 12-13 – due to time constraints, this item will be postponed until next meeting. Chair Rudolph envisions a collaborative decision by committee members on items for the committee to consider this year.
VI. Adjournment - Chair Rudolph adjourned the meeting at 12:15.
VII. Next Meeting – Sep 25, 2012, 1100 hours Bond Hall 295.
