Attendance: Bazewicz, Candiotti (chair), Clarke, Erb, Huber, Pollock, Riemann, Stam, Yardley
The meeting came to order at 12:10 p.m. in Commons 209. The minutes
of the
November 12 meeting were accepted as written. Alan Candiotti
presented a report that he had
given to the Academic Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees, including
many of the
subjects discussed in this committee during the semester, as a basis
for the written report of the
committee. The major headings in the report were faculty support
and development, the network
(including many subheadings), the administrative system, academic facilities
and equipment and
training. The committee reviewed the report, agreed to all of
its contents, and recommended that
additional subjects be added.
The additions that the committee recommended were a section on
information resources,
emphasizing universal access to those resources, expansion of the section
on the administrative
system, and sections on space needs, horizons (research and development)
and grants. Alan said
that he would prepare drafts of those items for the next meeting.
The committee suggested that
the next meeting be held in late January.
