AD HOC COMMITTEE

MEETING DATE: APRIL 11, 2003

ORDER OF BUSINESS:

• It was announced by the Chair that the committee has completed work on steps 1, 2, and 3 of Arreola’s program.
• The Chair also announced that the Faculty Role papers and any changes are due back to the committee on the 25^th of April.
• The committee needs to set observable measurable activities for the reviewers to determine performance.
• It was again discussed that the committee needs to have merit raise objectives in place by the Academic year 2005.

-         To meet that deadline, planning pages must be in place by Academic Year 2004.  These pages must be ready to go at that time. 

-         It was further indicated that this whole process is being driven by the need to have an evaluation procedure across the campus.

A discussion then followed about 4 point scales versus 5 point scales and what to label these scales.

The student rating committee hopes to complete its rating questionnaire by this summer and have the document approved by the committee as a whole before the start of the Fall semester.

The committee agreed to proceed with work on Step 4 of Arreola’s program.  A question arose in the committee about the Faculty Role documents vis-à-vis the Green Book.

A discussion followed about the concept of merit.  All agreed to proceed with Arreola’s Step 4.
