  4. Old Business
    1. Attendance at Faculty Meetings - Prior to the November 2nd L&S Faculty meeting, Cam sent an email to all department chairs asking that a department representative be named to attend the Faculty meeting. Connie Jo reported that twenty-three faculty members attended the meeting. Most of the departments were represented. The faculty still is grossly underrepresented. A motion was made and seconded to put on the agenda of the next L&S Faculty Meeting a proposal that the quorum be lowered from thirty to twenty-five. The motion passed unanimously.
    2. Distinguished Professors Nominations - Cam distributed a memo to Jay Moore, Chair of the University Committee, outlining the Committee's concerns about the nomination process for Distinguished Professors. Cam will accept any suggestions or revisions from Committee members via email before mailing the memo on Friday, December 15, 2000.
    3. College Approval Matrix - Connie Jo discussed her revisions to this document. The Committee recommended that section I.D. actions (Establish off-site offering of existing degree or certificate program) be reviewed by both the APC and the C&CC, and that they require faculty approval. Section I. F1. actions (Rename minor, certificate program) should be forwarded to the faculty for information only. There was a motion and second to recommend the revised L&S Approval Matrix to the L&S Faculty with the two mentioned changes. The motion passed unanimously.

  5. New Business
    1. It was moved, seconded, and approved unanimously to set the date for the next L&S Faculty meeting on Thursday, February 8, 2001.
    2. Agenda Items - A draft of the agenda for the next Faculty Meeting was reviewed. The Committee discussed reordering several items under New Business. There was a motion and second to approve the agenda with these adjustments. The motion passed unanimously.
    3. It was moved, seconded, and approved unanimously to hold the final Faculty meeting of the 2000-2001 academic year on April 12, 2001.

  6. The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 a.m.
