1. SIR Evaluations:
This year deans will receive batch SIR summaries for all their individual programs, for their own school, and for the university. As well, the working P&P indicates faculty will provide the dean with individual course summaries before performance appraisals are completed. As of last Spring 2002 term, complete copies of all SIRS summaries have been housed in the vpaa's office and in the Library.

2. Future Faculty Positions:
We discussed future faculty positions within Academic Affairs, in light of information in the Annual teaching Load report and the current budget.

3. Calendar Issue:
There was a question as to why the this term's calendar ended up with TR classes meeting more times than MW classes. Pfeiffer will check with Hamrick and report back.

4. Fee Waivers:
Pfeiffer will follow up with the BOR about the number of fee waivers that can be issued to graduate assistants.

5. Non-Tenure-Track Faculty:
By January 14, the deans are to give Pfeiffer a list of who they want to be non-tenure-track faculty within their school and who they want to be temporary full-time faculty.

6. VPAA Email to Faculty:
It was suggested that the vpaa should send faculty an email clarifying several issues that have been variously interpreted-namely, consulting conflicts with teaching, personal leaves, and timing of final exams. Pfeiffer will send it this week.

For the cake, chips, and Boston cream pie-we had Dawn Ramsey and Terry Tripp to thank. Thanks!
