Agenda Item 3:
Consideration of establishing standing
academic committee on service learning
Discussion:
In addition to this business carried
over from last year, M. Walker suggested we may need a committee to deal with
Clinical Issues to represent the concerns of the clinical staff. A Continuing
Career Education committee may also come up for discussion later this academic
year.
P. Martinez asked M. Walker whether she feels that the
committee structure may have to be revised after the revisions to the Faculty Manual
are complete. M. Walker said we may decide that this is needed. C. Rigby
pointed out that the role of the calendar committee may be affected by changes
being discussed. M. Walker and J. Tovey both pointed out that there will still
need to be a mechanism for feedback from the faculty on these issues, no matter
what changes are made to the Manual.
Action Taken:
Committee decided to table this issue
until more progress has been made on revisions to the Faculty Manual.
Assigned
additional duties to:
M. Walker encouraged committee members to attend the open policy forums
being held in Brody in the coming week.
Respectfully submitted: Marieke Van Willigen, January 12, 2010
