1. BOR Changes:
The chancellor sent the president a memo regarding BoR reorganization after Dan Papp leaves. Frank Butler will be the new interim senior vice chancellor for academic affairs after the November meeting. Bill Bowes will report directly to the Chancellor.
 
2. Bauhaus Legacy:
Barnes stated that the Bauhaus symposium was extremely successful. The Chinese professors were carrying back a collaborative proposal to China for a 10-week summer program.
 
3. Faculty Forum:
The deans discussed the various summer pay options that will be presented to the faculty at the forum on Thursday, October 31, 2002.
 
4. Statutes:
Deans are to send any comments they have about the draft statutes to Becky Rutherfoord with a copy to Pfeiffer. Hamrick is to look at the statutes as well.
 
5. Distance Learning:
Ramsey prepared an inventory of the Smart Classrooms, which will be updated annually. She also had a printout from the BOR on distance education courses. It appears that not all of the distance learning courses are being accurately coded. It was suggested that David Stone meet with Hamrick to discuss reporting codes for distance education.
 
6. Signage on Campus:
It was noted that the new signs on campus appear to be for walking level only and not readable from the car. Also, it was suggested that building letters be added to the signs. Ramsey is to contact Anton Kashiri to talk on the deans' behalf about the signs.
 
7. Reorganization:
Deans asked Pfeiffer about the timing of the reorganization "tweaking." He said he will prepare a draft to go to the president after faculty approval this term.
