Meeting was called to order at 3:35 p.m. by Dean Duggar.

IP PHONE SYSTEM – GREG WILLIAMSON
Greg Williamson commented on the IP Phone System. This system is coming up very quickly and it’s a financial issue because if he doesn’t get this installed by October,
then his SW Bell bill will go from $1,000/month to $24,000/month. Using student labor, each department will be contacted to get this system set up. Once phones are
installed, a training coordinator will work out the schedule of training for the new
phones. Every phone is delivered with a brochure and very self-explanatory. Once
training is complete, the chair and/or admin. Asst. will be contacted to set up a cutover date. Until system is cutover, you may use either phone. Once cut over you can unplug the old phone and deliver it to a recycle bin.

Every main answering number, COB or department, the technicians will work with
those people who answer that phone and help program numbers. Web attendant can transfer
the number. Training for student workers is much easier.

Every phone has their own inward direct dial system – can give out to anyone we want. 680 prefix. IT does not give those numbers out as a matter of course, but those
numbers are available.

All systems have voice mail message and caller ID. Also can track bomb threat calls.

Long distance calls – will show up on your web bill. Will be able to do 4-digit dialing to Newport campus and all other campuses and they will be able to do the same to us. Old line charges will be able to pay for capital equipment.

Administrative Assistant. – if you’re working on a document and a call comes in, a pop
up will show up, so just reduce the document and then go back into the document after
the call.

Primary, Secondary, Tertiary – Triple set of equipment in order to help when the server
is down.

Dr. Replogle asked if a virus can affect these? Greg stated that it cannot affect these phones. These phones sit behind a firewall and are protected.

Dean Duggar asked what we can do to assist and move this along. Greg stated that
if you have any ADA features in your phone (hearing assistance, paging system),
identify that up front. Chris and Keith Cockrell will be contacting us to set these
phones up.

Same passcode works for these phones as the old phones when dialing long-distance
calls. After phone is set up – set up voice mail message. Can listen to voice mail
through speaker or e-mail.

ASU COLLEGE OF BUSINESS VIEWBOOK
The latest version of the COB viewbook was distributed to the committee members –
Dean Duggar asked the committee members to please look at this rapidly and quickly
and let him know of any changes, corrections. Carleen commented that some
testimonials are missing so doesn’t have the final viewbook yet.

WHY ASU COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
Dean Duggar wanted to give a list to outsiders of what we are proud of and any other items that need to be added please let him know. Dr. Bevill commented that she would like to add: “A caring faculty”

Dean Duggar is open to suggestions – 1st one per Jeff Pittman – likes to brag about
ASU in the classroom – AACSB accredited – this doesn’t mean anything to the students, but if you go further and say that only so many schools are AACSB accredited, then it makes more sense to them. Dr. Pittman would like a few simple brag points.

Dean Duggar – do we need to say something about a clear path for a five year CPA?

QUALITY & REPUTATION ENHANCEMENT PLAN
Establish a better and more systematic manner of recruiting. Last year and earlier, Dr. Replogle had been talking about the Student Professional Development Program –
outlines some of this in the document.

Getting viewbook together, recruiting schedule with high schools and bringing
counselors in, faculty members becoming liaisons with high schools. Maybe each of us could take a particular community college and work on that college’s relationship
with the ASU COB. Keep them informed of what is going on. Dr. Replogle asked what about ASU – Newport? Dean Duggar feels we need to do a better job.

Waltons – 3 foundations – anything has to be brought by the family members.???
Dean Duggar asked the committee members to look this over. Look at L under
curricula – have 2 students left in this and they will finish but no new admissions to this program.

Assessment – Melodie Philhours met with Dean Duggar and will chair the Assessment Committee – student working with her on the database but need to move forward
with our goals and objectives and specific measures we’re going to use.

Development and Funding – building is most important.

Economic Development – minority delta scholarship.

One item that continues to bother Dean Duggar is promotion and advertising. Novell Center of Excellence didn’t get in the Arkansas Business? Rural Sourcing – governor’s mansion. Get information to Jeff Hankins Editor – Arkansas Business Review - direct
to get it in the newspaper. Dr. Frey asked if Dean would like to know about articles
prior to faculty sending directly to Jeff – YES. Opportunity for writing an article –
need to get some things to him. Rural Sourcing would be a great source to write about.

FACULTY/STAFF FALL PICNIC
Everyone decided BBQ chicken breasts and Boston Butts. Dr. Pittman suggested volunteers for cooking. Borrow the University’s grill for the picnic.

DRAFT – COB COMMITTEES 2004-2005
Admissions – has a mandatory role with students – first year students to be contacted
and making sure that they are doing well.
Dr. Bevill gave Paulette information on Steps Along the Way

Assessment – Melodie will be here at next meeting to talk with us about our goals
and objectives with this, how we’re going to measure and capture this data.

Executive – done

Faculty Development – Dean Duggar met with Sarath briefly on this.

Teaching Porfolios/Teaching Evaluations – better handle on evaluating teaching.

Faculty Grievance – select when needed.

Charles Ford – Graduate Programs – Russ Jones, Gauri and Louella

Publicity & Outreach – Carleen – get stuff out on Emerald Gala.

PRT – Charles – not yet put together (2 people from each dept. and supposed to have tenure)

Recruiting & Scholarships – Dr. Bevill has had several people volunteer. Working on getting the committee together. Closeness between Outreach and Recruiting.

Student Professional Development – Dr. Replogle – web site – Dean Duggar is leaving
that up to him to call meetings or not. Melodie asked Steve to serve on Assessment Committee with her. Maybe have student professional development be a subcommittee
of assessment.

Technology – Dean Duggar asked Dr. Seydel about the activity of this committee. Dr. Seydel – there are a number of issues that could be addressed. Needs to be people
from each department not just CIT. Student has to register card in order to use own laptop on ASU web.

Undergraduate Curriculum – Kim Hester – Tina suggested that two from each departmental committee move to this. Dean Duggar agreed. Tina said that since Kim
is from Dr. Frey’s department, it might be better for Tina to remain.

International Business & Exchange Opportunities – sending 3-4 faculty members
abroad a year now.

Internships – Dr. Bevill (as needed)

AD Hoc Committee on Merit Process – Dean Duggar would like one person from each department. Russ Jones had asked to be from his department and Dean Duggar asked
Dr. Seydel to decide.

Summer Research Grant – Dr. Ford wanted to know if there were any negative
comments in regards to this. No, there weren’t any negative comments. Steering Committee – would like to have whoever is on this to have a research record. Dr. Ford asked where this money came from and Dean Duggar stated that it was money that
was not allocated for any one salary. Do not allocate more that 70% of this money for
the first year. Started with the collection of revenues this semester
