DRAFT OF COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
Dean Duggar arrived late for the meeting and he said he had not completed the draft of the committee structure as yet. He had several people who wanted to be on the International Committee, Graduate Committee, Faculty Development Committee and Assessment Committee. Dean Duggar told the Department Chairs that they have the decision of the Planning Committee Representative in their department, therefore; when they get their representative, to please let him know.

PLANNING RETREAT
There was discussion regarding the Planning Retreat as far as the date and location. The committee was asked whether to have it on either Wednesday, August 7th or Thursday, Auugst 8th. It appears that some people will be on vacation at that time; therefore; the committee proposed to have the Planning Retreat on August 23rd either in Mtn. Home or anywhere that would be two hours away from Mtn Home in order for Dr. Washam to get to his class that evening. Dean Duggar arrived late and suggested that we have the Planning Retreat on August 16th because if we have it on the 23rd, then we will not have any proposed items for the Faculty/Staff Meeting to be held on August 20th. It was suggested to use the President’s House in Mtn. Home and Chris is to contact Pam Kail about scheduling this for the Planning Retreat. In the event that this would not be available, then contact ASU-Mtn. Home to find a place on campus to schedule the meeting.

FACULTY/STAFF MEETING
The Faculty/Staff Meeting is scheduled for August 20th from 11:30-1:30 p.m. The committee suggested having Popeye’s for lunch for the Faculty/Staff Meeting. Spicy and mild chicken. James McDaniel is the owner and Dr. Frey knows him and stated that maybe he could do something special for us. The Planning Committee approved having Popeye’s for lunch.

DEPARTMENTAL MEETINGS
The Departmental Meetings are scheduled for August 20th at 2:00 p.m.

NEW FACULTY ORIENTATION
The New Faculty Orientation is scheduled for August 20th at 4:00 p.m. if there are any new faculty for the Fall semester.

FACULTY/STAFF PICNIC

The Faculty/Staff picnic will be held in the ASU Pavilion this year on Friday, September 13th. Dean Duggar would like to have some entertainment at this picnic and there were many suggestions given such as; contacting Dr. Bartee in the Music Department for a jazz ensemble; Philip Jackson; contact The Edge Coffeehouse as they have a small band and call Potlickers as they book different bands.

OTHER
Dean Duggar asked the committee for suggestions on how to involve the faculty in the Capital Campaign. Should we have an open session. Dr. Roe suggested asking the faculty to volunteer to work in the different sectors with the outside people in the sectors.

Dean Duggar asked where we stand on clearpath for students in accounting? Dr. Boyd commented that the mindset is in the right direction more so than in the three years that he’s been here. Streamlining the undergraduate degree and improving it and developing a Masters in Accounting (mid-Fall semester). Dr. Louella Moore has the information on this and so does Dr. Washam. Should have completed by Christmas. Dean Duggar stated that we were to have a response to the AACSB team by November.

Dean Duggar asked if we have a review class and Dr. Boyd stated that we do not. The review class as currently offered out there commercially has too many hours. They go to a 9-12 hour credit. Dr. Boyd stated that we would be giving them credit again for everything that’s already been covered.

Dr. Washam discussed the Charter Financial Analysis Test.

Dr. Ford asked when the Masters in Accounting was going to be offered and it should be mid-Fall semester. Dr. Ford also asked Dean Duggar about the MIS Masters Degree. Dean Duggar stated that we are looking at it right now. Dr. Ford also commented that we need to change the Graduate Curriculum Committee name to maybe: College of Business Graduate Council. Dean Duggar thought this was a good suggestion. Dean Duggar has more things on the committees to discuss when he gets the information together.

Dean Duggar asked Carleen to discuss the publications that are in the works. Carleen reported that the Business Connection was in creative services and has been for about a month now. The College of Business case statement is also there as well as the College of Business view book.

She also reported to the committee that a photographer has been on campus taking pictures. He’ll be back to take more pictures of students since it’s been a little sparse this week.

We can order COB shirts on line through Chris Weiss. Can order a shirt, it is made up and sent to us and we don’t pay up front.

Carleen has been working with Audra Hoverton who has her own web design company. She will provide us with a bid. Will be using Dreamweaver software. Dr. Washam wanted to know how easy it will be to learn and use and Carleen has the software so she will get familiar with the site.

Capital Campaign, Business Alumni Association

Need a permanent e-mail for alumns.

Day where parents could come in and sit in on classes, eat lunch with the Dean. – Carleen suggested. Dean suggested maybe a picnic.

Carleen stated that we are thinking about having a Fall Emerald Gala (Nov 1) instead of a spring emerald gala. Work on Silent Auction items now. Looking at another band “The Rockets” – Jerry Smith booked them.

Meeting adjourned at 3:00 p.m.
