ACTIONS OF THE MEETING:
The meeting was called to order at
The committee worked on the proposal for making up missed days. Version A of the proposal with sections, in order, whether to make up missed days, designated make-up days, and how to make up missed time was agreed as the version to start from. Shanan Gibson asked about the methods for making up missed time. Jonathan Dembo said that the proposal has the spirit of the changes the committee agreed on. Crammer asked whether a cover letter explaining the proposal and the logic behind the proposal should be sent to the Faculty Senate with the proposal; he agreed to work on the letter and circulate it to the committee. Punam Madhok said that the proposal is somewhat confusing. The third sentence in the first section concerning promptness of decisions was removed. Dembo summarized the parts of the proposal as:
First: whether to make up days
Second: which days to use
Third: how to make up classes or other activities
The wording of the proposal was modified until a consensus was reached. The proposal specifies that the Executive Council in conjunction with the Calendar Committee rather than the Chancellor alone, will decide what days will be used to make up classes after the specified days have been used. Gibson moved (Dembo seconded) approval of the proposal as amended. Motion passed. The committee discussed whether to send the proposal to the January meeting of the Faculty Senate or wait until the March meeting and send it with the proposed 2007-2008 calendar proposal.
The committee briefly discussed the 2007-2008 calendar which will be the main task at the next
meeting. Powers asked again about

was agreed to meet on Fridays at
