1. New Member:
We welcomed John Sweigart, the new program head for MET.
 
2. Center for Teaching Excellence:
Dawn Ramsey will soon announce the CTE awards and the director. Pfeiffer will be working with various parties to determine where the CTE will be located.
 
3. Q&A on Summer School, Workload, and Related Issues:
Fowler asked that program heads keep him informed on summer courses with low enrollment. He said not to cancel any courses right now, except in cases where the program head is sure the class won't make.

Siddiqi suggested that summer and fall registration be held at the same time to benefit students. Hamrick said he has a timeline laid out and that this change is definitely doable. We'll discuss it in more detail at another time.

Program heads are to give Fowler their preliminary faculty assignment reports for fall as soon as they are able to. The formal deadline is the middle of June. Fowler said not to hesitate to email him with any questions related to the FAR or any other issue.
 
4. Chancellor's Visit:
The new chancellor and the president stopped by on their tour of the campus. Dr. Meredith spoke briefly and mentioned that he is very impressed with Southern Poly and is hearing good things about the university.
 
5. SIRS:
The company that processes the SIRS can support online evaluations of online courses--using the same questions. We probably will purchase this service, as it is reasonably priced.
 
6. End of Year Monies:
The deans are putting together a prioritized list. ETACT money will be distributed among the schools as well. ETACT can only be used for instructional related purchases.

The ALC members agreed to continue meeting on the first Thursday of the month at 2:00 in J157.
