Attendance

Members: Bailey; Rigsby; Martinez; Hughes; Roberts; Mageean; Sheerer; Walker; Gilliland

Visitors: Lee; Payne; Ingalls

Meeting called to order at 3:00

Minutes for 10-14-09 meeting were approved and accepted with editorial comments due no later than the next meeting.

The discussion of the Faculty Manual resulted in the evaluations, assignments, and deadlines noted in the two forms below. The first is from the secretary and the second is from the Committee Chair.

It was the general agreement that the extent to which a document is to be rewritten or reorganized is to be determined by those assigned to each individual document. In making this determination it is important to consider the committee’s time-line and due date for the document.

(Note: Any differences between the two information sources can be discussed at the next meeting.)

Meeting adjourned at 5:00
