Meeting began at 8:40 a.m.
F. Kooistra and B. Holden attended a meeting on November 2 of representatives from the CASI committees across campus. Colleen McCabe distributed a survey of the structure of all CASI committees. A copy of that survey will be distributed to this committee. Some committees have worked on by-laws. Another issue is how to connect with governance in the departments. Several groups are building web pages. B. Holden and C. Dillhunt will work on a web page for this committee that will include a link to the College's web page. It will include information such as committee members, agendas, minutes, and committee reports. The Communications Subcommittee will be involved in the content of the web page.
Dick Wolkowski is the academic staff representative on the Academic Planning Council and will be joining this committee as an ex-officio member.
There was one correction on last month's minutes. John Mather was listed as present and he did not attend that meeting. B. Jenson made a motion to approve the minutes with that correction. S. Bertics second the motion.
There were no questions.
This subcommittee presented a report to the Dean. Paul Ludden was the primary author on Administration's response. The committee began discussing the response for each of the committees and then decided to have B. Wilson itemize the items that may be listed but not implemented. The subcommittee will then make recommendations for the full committee to discuss at the next meeting.
Since Steve Stevenson was part of this subcommittee and is no longer a CASI member, F. Kooistra will review membership on all subcommittees and may move members around according to expertise and interests. Members are asked to let Frank know if they would prefer another committee.
S. Bertics reran information from the Climate survey according to type of appointment and gender. There were no major glitches with the questions. The subcommittee has decided not to do any further analysis. The report will be sent to all academic staff. She will draft a lead-in statement to the survey results for the committee to review at the next meeting
E. Maurer reported that the subcommittee was concerned that the response to the survey from department chairs and centers directors was so low. The subcommittee feels that the evaluators should be direct supervisors and the performance evaluation process should be part of the merit exercise. Ellen will distribute recommendations for the committee to review before next month's meeting.
A by-laws subcommittee will be established. Anyone interested in serving on this committee should let Frank know.
The next meeting will be held December 1, 8:30 a.m., 250 Ag. Hall.
Meeting adjourned at 10:30 a.m.
