Meeting was called to order at 12:00 Noon by Dean Duggar.

NIGHT CLASSES
Dr. Replogle distributed the Rotation of Evening Course Offerings. When approved, Carleen and Dr. Replogle will post on the COB web site and it will be easy and cheap to update – like maybe every year or two. Majors are offered every two years etc. Dr. Seydel brought up a disclaimer that we should say “subject to faculty availability”. These are the projected classes and we have the right to change…….per Dr. Pittman. Dr. Replogle asked if there was any problem with the schedule.

Dean Duggar – if we’re offering these classes so daytime and nighttime students can take these classes and build it into the schedule is there a situation where we wouldn’t be able to commit? Dr. Frey – compressed video we commit and that’s day and night. Dr. Seydel didn’t see a problem with the disclaimer as is. Dean Duggar – schedule is okay with him as long as department heads are okay with it. Dr. Frey is okay, Dr. Seydel will distribute to his faculty and ask for their response on the schedule and Dr. Seydel will get back to Dr. Replogle within the week. Dr. Frey asked for an attachment of the schedule electronically.

ASSESSMENT
Dean Duggar went through a workshop on Friday morning. Assessment process that AACSB wants to see in our reports is something we don’t have right now. Web Site is set up to better development assessment tools. Assessment will cover everything that

we’ve put in our Mission and Vision. If we say we are putting out effective communicative students, they want a process in place to be able to measure that. Visited with Dr. Pittman on this and Dr. Nonis has asked not to be on the Assessment Committee this year. Dean Duggar would like to see us start fresh on this assessment process. Less on surveys, more on measurement. Something other than the ETS exam. Dean Duggar would like to see someone work with Dr. Pittman on this, ie Dr. Gary Latanich if he would like to do that. AACSB is asking that we pretty well define the 4-10, 6-10 goals that we want to include in that assessment process this year. Then we start integrating and make sure this is included in the core. Dr. Replogle – suggested Farhad Moeeni (he was heavily involved a while back). Dr. Pittman – if this is looked at as something that AACSB wants us to have to do, it may not go over as well as if we look at it as something to make us better. Dr. Replogle suggested we review the Mission Statement to be sure there’s nothing there to trip us up. Dean Duggar would like to get a focus group together on this.

Dr. Pittman suggested having an outside group that can come in and test a random number of students coming in and then going out. Dean Duggar doesn’t know if we can do this feasibly pricewise.

BUSINESS CONNECTION

Carleen commented that the previous idea is a bust so will put it back to the Spring issue. Dr. Roe had an idea for the next issue (going to faculty members and ask them to write about technology and how it is going in the classroom now and then talk about how the new high-tech building will change things). Also have a rendering of the building in the issue. Dean Duggar suggested having Dr. Washam do an article on a financial lab and have Dr. Seydel talk about a radio frequency id unit. This is supposed to be the Fall/Winter issue.

UNIVERSITY HONORS COUNCIL
The University would like to address academic dishonesty and get some students as representatives to serve on this council. They would prefer Sophomores and Juniors since Seniors will be graduating and leaving the university.

EMERALD GALA
There will be a silent auction and the bidding will be done on-line. The bidding begins November 4th and ends the evening of Thursday the 6th. And then can still bid the evening of the gala. Maximum bid can be given to Carleen if person will not be attending the gala. There will be a minimum bid to start the bidding on each item.
