ACTIONS OF THE MEETING:

Description of action: 
The minutes of the September 11, 2000 meeting were 
approved. 

Jack Karns will be unable to represent Bob Morrison on this 
committee for the remainder of the year.  Dr. Morrison will sit 
in until a replacement can be found.

Description of action:
Deferred long range planning until the November meeting so 
as to discuss committee consolidation going before the 
faculty Senate this month.  Proposed committee 
consolidation includes this committee (and Credits, 
Readmission Appeals, Student Advising, and Retention 
Committees), and was put before the Faculty Senate without 
notification to this committee.  Chairman Cope expressed his 
displeasure at the procedure by which this occurred.  
Sessoms expressed concern over the consolidation and 
potential lack of future involvement with interested parties 
who do not officially sit on committees (Continuing Ed, 
International Affairs, etc.) but was assured by Morrison that 
committees are allowed to invite whom ever they wish to 
participate on them.  Morrison suggested committees make 
a resource list at their first meeting that includes the type of 
personnel who would provide valuable input.  It was noted 
that there was no mention of the appellate processes with 
each of these committees is currently charged, nor a time 
frame for the change to occur.  Morrison acknowledged 
there were a few details yet unsolved, but he is excited over 
the proposed change.  This committee joined Cope in 
expressing support for the consolidation.

Follow-up action required:
none
