Discussion:

Cliff Togo presented a shared governance document for the committees review.

Jim Goodman presented a description of the Faculty Senate. The committee once again reaffirmed its view that the basic problem the committee is addressing is one of understanding and not one of organization or of policy: The Accreditation Team we are reminded recommended that the college clearly define the role of all constituencies on the Campus Council and specifically address the relationship between the Faculty Senate and the Campus Council.

Cindy Martin clarified her role as compiler and not author of the For Your Information handbook. She agreed to assist in the production of a revised edition of the For Your Information handbook that would better address the nature of shared governance.

The committee decided that it would complete its work in two steps, first, a new first chapter of the For Your Information handbook would be written that would directly address the issue of shared governance and the roles of constituencies and secondly, the committee would bring to the faculty the suggested wording of the new first chapter of the For Your Information handbook. Other changes in the For Your Information handbook would be made to conform the book to the new first chapter.

The committee agreed that it is important to accentuate the Faculty Senate’s budget role as setting policy and the Campus Council’s budget role as setting priorities.

Action Item:

James West agreed to write a draft of the new first chapter of the For Your Information handbook and submit his draft to the committee by November 12, 2001. The next meeting will revise the draft.

Cindy Martin agreed to assist in coordinating a revision of the For Your Information handbook.

Next Meeting:

The next meeting is November 19 @ 2:00 P.M. in the Provost’s Conference Room.

Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 3:45 P.M.
