Curriculum Inventory Report (CIR)
Fowler
handed out a report from Dr. Papp requesting the deans and program heads to be
sure that correct Banner codes are used for DE courses, and timely submission
of DE data to the CIR coordinator.
Fowler
is familiarizing himself with the academic affairs budget and will keep the
deans advised accordingly.
There
was discussion as to how the monies should be split and what categories to
use. Possible ideas were that the monies
could be used for travel, scholarship, professional development and possibly
recruiting/admissions.
Academic Units Website
Ramsey
said to look at this website: http://www.spsu.edu/fac_staff/academic_units.shtml
If there are
any corrections send them to Waits who will inform IT of the necessary changes.
Incharge
Institute has contacted Ramsey seeking recommendations of our expertise in the
areas of course design effectiveness, records and evaluating courses, and
delivery formats. Ramsey is to prepare a
proposal for Incharge Institute. The
deans gave her the names of several faculty to contact.
Priorities
for travel monies.
