Revision of Critiquing Schedule:  Hummel is in the process of deciding on the best times to meet during the course of the summer.  He hopes to have worked out the schedule and send to all by Thursday.

 

Other Business:  Hummel stated that each Principal Chair needs to conduct an evaluation for members of their committee that are currently employed.  By consensus, a 4-point scale will be used and will evaluate the quality of work and level of participation of each member.  The results will go to the President and Deans.  This arouse because of significant variations in participation in both staff and faculty.

 

Hummel will inform members of the location for Friday’s meeting.
