Approval of February Minutes

The February minutes were approved after Karen Styles’ name was added to the list of “Members Present.”

 

Information Items

New Planning Council faculty representatives from East Campus and Winter Park Campus are needed.

 

Faculty feedback on the draft principles for reassigned time was presented.  Board members agreed to notify Lisa Armour before the next Board meeting of any final comments on the feedback and/or the principles.

 

Results of the latest Flashlight survey on the Constitution were presented.  The majority of respondents favored retaining four Faculty Association Board members from each campus (Campus President, Vice President, and two members-at-large).  The majority of respondents did not favor a time limit on continued Faculty Association membership for members given release time for specific instructional or academic service to the institution.  The proposed Constitution will reflect this feedback and will be forwarded to faculty for a vote by the end of Spring Term.

 

Linda Anthon reported on work with the Atlas feature “MyPortfolio.”   Meetings will take place during the first summer term for faculty using or interested in using “MyPortfolio.”   At those meetings, a rubric for assessing student mastery of the core competencies through “MyPortfolio” will be devised.   Linda Anthon should be contacted for further information.

 

Action Items

The work plan for a Faculty Workload Issues Committee was edited and approved.

 

Dan Dutkofski was selected to be asked by the Board to serve as co-chair of the College Planning Council beginning July, 2003.

Discussion Items
