Dean Duggar called the meeting to order at 3:35 p.m.

SSCH Report
Dean Duggar distributed the report to all the committee members. Dr. Allen is looking at individual workload. Think we are in good shape except Tina’s department only shows two positions and there should be three (Boyd’s (2) and Dearman positions). Dean Duggar asked all the chairs to check this thoroughly and if there are any corrections or changes to let him know. TFT – permanent lines and TPT – not permanent lines. One of the Boyd’s positions is empty.

This is basically formula calculations of number of positions. Actually have 50 lines in the budget, are 18 short. Should be in 50/52 range. 240 SCH are expected in the lower and upper and 125 hours in the masters.

4th page – division for the last four fall semesters by discipline, lower, upper and masters’ level. You can see if you go to the ADH formula on far right, lower division from 2000-2004 – 7 positions down, upper division 4 positions down, up 3 positions in graduate level. The net reduction is 7 positions. Dr. Allen – we did not lose any positions this morning.

Dean would like any corrections are any additions to lines by tomorrow, 11/2/04.

ADHE
This is a report that Dr. Allen is getting information for above from.

Summer Teaching
Reduction in positions available in summer. Asked for allocation based on last summer’s SCH. Asked that seniority not be a factor in determining who will teach in summer.

As of this date, no new money for adjuncts this spring. Dr. Seydel asked Dean Duggar if he had asked if we could use differential tuition for this.

Differential – provided salary supplements for faculty under that formula. Asking to pick up department heads out of this. Faculty Summer Grants – less than what he had budgeted. Request from Finance for the two ABD who have moved to PhD status to make their salaries more substantial. Dr. Allen doesn’t want us to have over $100,000 in carryover. Dean Duggar wants to know what to do with money over $100,000. Tina Quinn said suggestions were made for some workshops.

Faculty Development – for any faculty for research, travel. Use for travel money for candidates to come in. Shift faculty to this money and other money to Courtney to attend some seminars etc.

Adjuncts – release time with quality of faculty. Look at adjunct needs for spring and give letter or justification and ask for all of those to be paid out of differential tuition.

Dean Duggar asked what about databases?

Library – Dr. Grant is very concerned about getting in your requests for changes in subscriptions as he must get those in by the end of the month. Changed hours of library – open until 1:00 a.m. several nights and someone to handle security for the longer hours.

Database if you’re not familiar with it, it can sort by industrial category, comparable analysis across that industry sector, international and national are standardized.

Tina feels we need more books. Doesn’t have a problem with unused allocation being pooled.

No projectors in some of the rooms.

Handling recruiting or coordinating recruiting. Carleen said she would do this.

List of community colleges, dates and times of day for these.

Carleen – Hector Flores doing an in-service in Memphis on Thursday. Get him any information 20-50 pieces for him to take with him. Dean asked if Mariano could do a brochure template, but Carleen said she would do it.

Revised Graduate Assistantship formula. Asked Deans to come up with one. Asked committee to think a little about this. Dr. Roe was asked to get some numbers together for this. Dean feels we have an opportunity to have a say in this.
EMBA (Executive MBA) – Dr. Allen was asking about this and Dean Duggar told her that Dr. Roe was working on a proposal for this. Should have different emphasis’ on this (Healthcare one time, etc.)
