7.
Evaluation of the committee (include anything that hindered or assisted the
committee's work during the year).
A. Charge:
The charge is effective. However, see Item 8.
B. Personnel: The members of the
Committee are dedicated and committed.
C. Attendance: Attendance was good even
though we met twice month.
D.
Responsibilities: The Committee has many important and varied responsibilities.
E.
Activities: The Committee was very active but still could not
complete all of its work.
8.
Suggestion(s) to the Chair of the Faculty and/or Faculty Senate for improving
the effectiveness of the committee.
The committee should discuss the idea of asking that Committee on
Committees consider the merits of creating a new committee to handle
interpretations, editorial changes and minor amendments to the Faculty Manual
(not changes to any appendices). The charge of the Committee would
include an adjudicatory decision-making process to make (non
adversarial) interpretations and a legislative or rule making process to
amend sections and clauses. It would hear no witnesses but could invite administrators, staff and faculty to
explain the need for an
interpretation, change or amendment.
9. Does
the Committee’s organizational meeting next year need to be earlier than the
date set this year? No

Patricia Anderson and James Holloway, Secretaries
