Discussion Topics:

  1. SCH report—Bill passed out information regarding SCH by program and asked that it be reviewed.  He also shared information that was just for EMS and also university.  You can utilize this for comparison of other programs on campus.  Discussion followed.  Each program area will have a meeting scheduled to review and discuss any changes and/or inaccuracies to this report within the next week. 
  2. Bill shared that John Busby was on campus yesterday.  He is heading up the capital campaign for UW-Platteville.  John followed Bill during his visits with students yesterday in the Ottensman atrium area.
  3. Dean’s Office—We are looking at how to streamline procedures and processes as an office and as a College.  Please let us know if you have ideas.  The utilization of EGH was discussed. 
  4. Positions—Bill indicated that he believes that the Fall 2011 positions will remain in EMS.  However we need to review staffing requests to put forward.  He should be receiving a listing of new positions and he will share it when it becomes available.
  5. Collaborative Program—Bill will put together a white paper on second generation of this program.  It will encompass outreach to others and utilization of other campuses.
  6. ME/IE/Masters realignment—During a discussion with Mittie, Bill indicated the possibility of separating the IE program from ME so that we can align it with the Masters program.  Staffing issues would need to be address but it would provide a “home” for both programs.  The consensus was to move forward.  Joe motion to approve.  Mesut second.  Motion carried.
  7. College meeting—Bill asked if there was a purpose to having a meeting prior to the end of the semester.  However, he will be schedule department visits (preferably a department meeting if scheduling allows) prior to the semester end.
