1. Foundation Campaign:
Pat Garrett and Maggie Gillespie talked to the ALC about the upcoming foundation campaign for faculty and staff. Garrett's goal is 100% participation. The foundation/alumni goal is $500,000. Garrett encourages everyone to give something as this is helping us directly at SPSU.
 
2. Advisory Boards:
Pfeiffer asked that programs reactivate their advisory boards if they haven't done so already.
 
3. Deans:
Each school dean gave a brief talk on what is happening in his or her program.
 
4. RETP:
Pfeiffer stated that SPSU has been approved to be added to the list of schools working with Georgia Tech in the Regional Engineering Transfer Program. It is hoped that we will be able to retain some of these students once they enroll at SPSU.
 
5. Summer Issues:
Program heads are to put in writing to Fowler the appropriate amount of reassigned time needed for summer. Please do this in fractions of your 9 months' salary. Have to Fowler by Thursday, November 8, 2001. Please be specific as to what it takes to run your program.
 
6. Faculty Summer Salary:
Pfeiffer will meet soon with the President about faculty summer salaries so that program heads can plan for summer classes.
 
7. Equity Study:
The faculty equity study is going forward. The RFP will go out soon. The study will not be by person-as the MGT report was--but instead by position.
 
8. Next Meeting:
The next ALC meeting will be December 6, 2001. Program heads are to come prepared to discuss issues, problems, challenges, and questions arising with respect to scholarship in each program.
