Minutes of the March 28 Executive Council meeting were approved with changes. 2. Convener job description President Karlin reported to the membership that job descriptions, in general, do not mention compensation. Compensation must be dealt with as a separate issue. General discussion on overall content of the convener job description ensued including evaluation of the convener, curriculum development vs. creating academic schedules or scheduling classes. In particular, one example that was discussed focused on a convener for curriculum and a convener for scheduling and other administrative responsibilities. Representatives from ASB commented that their school is contemplating having both conveners and program coordinators. Action Item: Reminder to the members to distribute the convener survey at todays Unit Councils. Results will be tabulated and provided to the Provost as additional information by the end of the spring 2007 semester. Action Item: President Karlin will meet with the Provost and provide initial acceptance of the convener job description with the intent that it be revisited in the next academic year, suggestions for revising or incorporating language from Susan Eisners version, and with the following recommendations: Executive Council recognizes the importance of revisiting the convener job description and that the current version provides short term solutions. Compensation should be agreed upon before conveners are selected for the next academic year and Executive Council will need to be consulted before anything goes forward. 3. Due date for grade submission fall 2007 President Karlin reported that the grade submission due date for fall 2007 will be December 28. Finals week is December 15-21. A meeting to discuss the proposed calendar model beginning with the 2008-09 academic year has still not been scheduled. Action Item: President Karlin will discuss with Provost Barnett the possibility of pushing the grade submission due date to January 2, 2008. 4. Faculty Assembly President meeting with the Provost Members of the Executive Council provided suggestions for President Karlins next meeting with Provost Barnett. Suggestion: Provide the faculty and/or campus with a monthly written report of activities in the Provosts Office. Suggestion: That the deans also provide a monthly written report of activities to their units and/or the campus in an effort to assist overall transparency. 5. Web page General discussion arose regarding both the 鶹 Internet pages and Intranet pages and concerns with currency, accuracy, labeling, uniformity of format, and structural issues focusing on the academic piece. There are also questions of the roles of various existing committees such as TLTR or TAG and their involvement with overall web-related issues. Banner upgrades and changes to the degree audit process are also concerns. Students and faculty find the new degree audit problematic, near impossible to read, and not user-friendly. Many students are seeking advisement just for assistance from faculty in understanding the new degree audit; this is a time waster for both. Suggestion: It was suggested that a sub-committee of the Faculty Assembly, with representatives from all the units, be formed to review web-related topics. Action Item: President Karlin will speak with Scotty Massimo from TLTR for input on the web pages. 6. Subcommittee on Flex The Flex subcommittee is discussing implementation issues and will review the convener survey as it can be applied to flex. They are still discussing what counts as flex, the approval process for projects, and supporting scholarship under CEP. The subcommittee is also developing examples of the use of flex time. Action Item: Subcommittees will meet from 9-9:30am at next week's meeting. Due to time constraints, the subcommittee on Personnel was not able to report. 7. Conversation with Local Union leadership Wayne Hayes, President of AFT Local 2274, joined the Executive Council at 10:30am for general conversation. President Karlin thanked President Hayes on behalf of the Executive Council for his time and attendance at todays meeting. Dialogue amongst those present included the topics of study abroad programs for summer 2007, statewide contract negotiations, and continued conversations between the Union and Executive Council. President Hayes is invited to the April 18 Executive Council meeting to continue conversations. The main agenda item for that meeting will be the progress of CEP. President Hayes informed the Executive Council that the last Union meeting of the semester is April 25. Submitted by M.
