Noon, Faculty House
Present: John Stone, Victoria Brown, Bill Francis, Helen Scott, Bob Grey, Lee Sharpe, David Harrison, Doug Caulkins, Christopher McKee
Lee nominated to be Chair of ISC. Seconded. All approved.
Meetings for the fall semester have been set for every other Monday at 11:00 in the Burling Library conference room.
Helen distributed annual reports detailing concentration and committee activities for 2000-2001. Helen outlined contents of the packets and provided background information on individual reports.
The suggestion was made to have concentrations review and prioritize curricular grant proposals and provide the ISC with rankings. The ISC would manage the distribution of funds according to priorities, not allocate funds up-front as had been done in the past. Grant proposals would still be collected in the Associate Deans' office. This suggestion led to a lengthy discussion of the curricular grant application process.
It could be advantageous to have a multi-disciplinary committee allocate funds.
The ISC agreed to change policy for this year's application process. Helen will draft a memo to the concentrations and to the faculty informing them of the change in procedure and deadlines.
Discussion of the budget the ISC has been charged with allocating. This committee allocates a substantial budget. We must look globally at what is best for the college.
Future agenda items:
Discussion of one-card. Is the information secure?
What are the college's plans for our website?
What is the philosophy behind curricular development funding?
Respectfully submitted,
Terri Phipps
