I. The minutes of the February 14 meeting were approved as distributed. Subsequent to the approval of minutes, the committee instructed the Secretary that the attendance of anyone present at any meeting should be noted, regarding the attendance of three non-committee members at the February 14 meeting.

II. Martinez stated that the revised Part XIII was approved at the last Faculty Senate meeting.

III. The bulk of the meeting was devoted to the Proposed New Section of Appendix L, Comprehensive Faculty Evaluation of Administrators.

Part 5, selection of faculty review committee, evaluation of Chancellor and Academic Council, Martinez proposed that the Committee on Committees solicit and select a slate of nominees for this review committee, and that an election be conducted by the Faculty Senate. The Governance committee approved this proposal, subject to consultation with the Committee on Committees. This would also require a change in the charge of the Committee on Committees, which would require Faculty Senate approval.

It was agreed that the committee should be composed of 7, from across the constituencies relative to that particular administrator.

Changes to the wording of the proposed report were made by Lori Lee and approved by the Committee.

Part 6, procedure. Martinez proposed that a subcommittee be formed, chaired by John Cope, to devise a questionnaire for evaluating Deans and Directors.

Respectfully submitted,

Mark Jones, Ph.D.

Professor
