The Chair, Mark Schwartz, called the meeting to order at 1:37 p.m. in Holton 241.
- Procedural Matters
- The Committee members agreed they would not hold regular meetings, but they would call them as needed.
- Automatic Consent
- Minutes #3, 1997-98 AY, were approved as submitted.
- Minutes #1, 1998-99 AY, were approved as submitted.
- The draft of the annual report was approved as submitted.
- Old Business
- The Committee's chair explained that the approach favored by the Dean in preparing a response to the PAR was to appoint two members each from the C&CC, GPC and AdPC to form a joint subcommittee. That group would draft a response to take back to the home committees. Mark Schwartz and Julio Rodriguez-Luis volunteered to serve on that committee.
- A question had come up after the Committee completed its review of proposals for new faculty positions. A member of the Committee on Committees noted that the APC had approved changes in it charter requiring that the Committee's report of recommendations to the dean be released to the general faculty. Horstman reported that the change has not yet gone to the L&S Faculty, and Committee members agreed to do nothing further until after the change has been approved. In the context of this discussion, Committee members requested a copy of the Dean's list of recommendations that was distributed at the last meeting of the department chairs. The list will be distributed with the minutes.
- New Business
- The dean wished to appoint a joint subcommittee of the APC, GPC, and C&CC to examine requests for sabbaticals. Two members of each committee are to be selected. Alice Gillam volunteered. Horstman will check with Mark Harris and Craig Sandgren to see if either is willing to serve.
- The meeting was adjourned at 2:01 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Connie J. Horstman
Special Assistant to the Dean and
Distinguished Advisor
Secretary to the L&S Faculty
