- Special Order of Business - The Provost, John Wanat, outlined for committee members the process and timing for the selection of the Interim Dean. He indicated he would announce the individual no later than Monday noon the Chairs' meeting. He also discussed the search process for the permanent dean. Mark Schwartz reminded him that the Committee had requested that one of its members be appointed to the search committee as an additional member. Provost Wanat indicated that the structure of the committee already was set, but he would try to select an APC member from among those nominated by the University Committee. He indicated that it was his intention to try to hire someone to start in September, but he would not settle for a less-than-ideal candidate in order to meet that timeline.

- School of Journalism and Mass Communication - postponed
- New Business
- L&S Dean Candidates' Profile - Mark Schwartz distributed copies of various position announcements. There was a general discussion of the kinds of qualities that the new Dean should have. Members agreed that they would not attempt, at this time, to write a candidate's profile. Connie Jo indicated that a committee of the whole discussion had been included in the February 8 Faculty Meeting agenda. Committee members agreed to send out a statement to the faculty prior to the meeting to encourage them to think about their preferences and to help them prepare for the meeting discussion. After a number of suggestions were made concerning the content of that statement, Mark Harris agreed to put together a draft to be circulated among committee members via email. Based on input from the faculty at the February 8 meeting, the committee will prepare a statement of its views for the search and screen committee.
- Adjournment - The meeting was adjourned at 3:45 p.m.
