Discussion Topics

 

1.                  Advising Survey – Tammy Salmon-Stephens and Joanne Wilson

During the spring 2005 semester, an academic advising survey was done.  The summary has been presented at Academic Affairs and compares importance versus satisfaction for various practices.  Dr. Butts asked Tammy to present this information to the College.  The survey gives insight into the perception of advising in each college.  Tammy will address some of the hot buttons at the upcoming College of EMS Brown Bag Luncheons.  Rich suggested that each chair/program coordinator discuss the results with faculty in a department meeting.

 

2.                  Special Course Fees – Rich Shultz

Rich received a call from the Internal Auditor regarding the cross listing of courses.  Chairs need to make sure that fees are listed at both the undergraduate and graduate levels of cross-listed courses.  Also, when you change the course number and/or course name, you need to do a new Special Course Fees Form.

 

Other

 

1.                  Richard received the CRST salary recommendation forms from four departments.  In order for CRSTC to review tomorrow, he needs the other department forms as soon as possible.
