HONORS BANQUET
Dr. Roe discussed the need to choose a business leader for a Beta Gamma Sigma Honoree and a Distinguished Alumni for the Honors Banquet.
Dr. Frey needs to get names for Distinguished Leaders for another purpose.

Dr. Hudson asked if Mike Medlock has ever been recognized as a Distinguished Alumnus and Dr. Roe asked if he’s a graduate of ASU? Yes, Dr. Hudson stated that Mike Medlock is a graduate of ASU.

Dr. Roe needs this information ASAP.

CVN CLASSES
Dan Marburger sent an e-mail regarding CVN classes and grades of students in Paragould vs. Jonesboro.

Dr. Frey asked the committee if this is something we should pursue with an Ad Hoc Committee. Dr. Frey asked the committee if Dan should lead this Ad Hoc Committee?

It was agreed that an Ad Hoc Committee will be formed and Dan will be asked to be the chair.

INFRASTRUCTURE REQUESTS
Dr. Seydel gave a report on the infrastructure requests that were approved. Renovation of Computer Lab and Renovation of two classrooms were all that were approved. Only got 1/3 of what we asked for. We asked for $198,952 and received $69,789. The Accounting & CIT classrooms didn’t get approved for renovation.

Dr. Seyel asked Dr. Frey if he could ask the question of why we get shorted based on student infrastructure fees. As this allocation is not equitable based on credit hours and student fees. This has been consistent over the past three years of being shorted. What right do they have to tell us what to do with our portion?

Dr. Roe – allocated some funds to get some electric screens in the classrooms. Dr. Seydel said that we do have the screens and we are in the process of getting these together. Gail suggested that these not be mounted in front of the map screens. Kris and the department chairs need to work together on this.

COB PHONATHON
Dr. Frey asked for volunteers for Wednesday, February 23, 2005 to make calls to COB Alumni. There are some graduate students who have volunteered.

ADC Meeting
Five priorities – Dr. McDaniel clarified – list top five things and bottom five things.
Priority might be recruiting faculty for an open slot, might be getting your faculty paid at the level they should be – not necessarily a program. The deans are confused about this.

$630,000 budget cut – build into next budget of $500,000 less???? Susan Allen will get an answer to Susan Hanrahan and why did we go from $1.7 million to $2.7 million deficit. Stuctural deficit? No answer as yet.

We are going to hold harmless academic instructional budget.

Meeting adjourned at 4:30 p.m.
