I. Peer Evaluation, Art Edwards. In the past year we approved procedures for the student evaluation process and have approved guidelines (not procedures) for peer review of faculty, leaving procedures up to the departments. Now that we have a document in hand that identifies the peer review requirements from the general administration, an ad-hoc committee has been appointed to look into this and recommend a set of procedures that will be used in the college. This will be available for consideration at the April 29th faculty meeting.

II. CEAPCC Report, Hassan Razavi. A single course proposal from Computer Science concerning CSCI3145 was presented. Due to a lack of a quorum, the information will be sent to each faculty member for paper ballot consideration.

III. Consent Calendar, Art Edwards. Dr. Edwards presented an argument for changing the course approval process used within the college to utilize a consent calendar instead of requiring all curriculum changes to come to the faculty for a floor vote. A description of the proposal will be distributed to all voting faculty for consideration using a paper ballot. The results of the paper ballot will be made known at the next meeting.

IV. Elections, Art Edwards. It is that time again when we elect CEFO officers and college committee members for the next academic year. The positions to be filled are listed below. Also, nominations from the floor are shown. Additional nominations can be made by contacting either Art Edwards or Jack Carter. Nomination forms will be placed in each voting faculty member’s mailbox. Nominations should be in by the next meeting of the faculty so that ballots can be prepared.
