Faculty Senate
Annual Meeting
One page summary introducing the purpose of the senate will
be distributed and a brief introduction of the officers will take place the
meeting.
We will begin to think of plans for future faculty senate
meetings with the faculty at large. One idea is a town hall meeting with the new
head of LUPF and will focus on this and other financial issues. We hope to have
at least 2 meetings with the faculty this year. A second meeting could focus on
research.
Survival skills meetings with Kennedy will focus on
grantsmanship through the development office. Three are planned and Pam Derstine
asked for suggestions for a topic for 1 additional session. Times will be varied
to make the sessions available to those with conflicting schedules.
Website
Outline of website content was presented from last year.
The outline was discussed and approved. Sam Cukierman will initiate the site as
per the outline. Program and research development could be placed on the site.
New topics for the website should be a standing point on the agenda for
discussion at the steering committee meetings. Kim Kenton will ask Dr. Slogoff
for the 2010 white paper on research for site. Muma will get letter from Dr.
Garinzini on research plans at the University level. “Time commitment crunch”
and BSI oversight committee elections will be written up by John McNulty for Hot
Topics and Issues. Sam will check with Ron Price to make sure the faculty
feedback spot is functional. The BSI plan will be posted; Nancy Muma will send
to it Sam.
Topics for
next meeting with Drs.Barbato and Slogoff
Public relations group will only get info from Donna
Halinski. Should they be able to get info directly. Discussion to go through
department chairs for recommendations.
