Burling Conference Room


Attending: Christopher McKee, Vince Eckhart, Ralph Savarese, Doug Caulkins, David 
Harrison, John Stone, Mark Montgomery, Lee Sharpe, Helen Scott, Bill Francis


John Stone has been named Chair of ISC for 2002-2003.


The Committee agreed to meet on alternate Wednesdays at noon beginning September 
18.  John will speak with Jack Dawson about allowing the Committee to get their lunches 
a bit early so that we can start the meeting at noon.


Agenda for the 18th includes discussion of Concentration guidelines.


Lee gave an overview of the ISC's responsibilities.


Discussion of change in the Concentration guidelines for submitting Curricular 
Development proposals.


Discussion of 2001-2002 annual report submitted by Lee.  The report included a list of 
issues that the Committee did not resolve.


ISC does more than budget allocation.  The Committee also has responsibility to 
computing.


The ISC needs to look at past priorities and decide if they are still relevant.  For 
example:
	Teaching & Learning groups
	Teaching Colloquia
	Workshop stipends
	Curricular Development stipends


The focus should be on academic program, not money.  Where will support for 
technology projects come from now that the Mellon grant has ended?  Should faculty 
receive stipends for attending workshops or should the stipend be paid only after the 
information is incorporated in the classroom?  No stipends are given for workshops 
hosted by the CTSs.


Teaching colloquia:  Currently held three times per year, once per division.  They have 
not been well attended.  Should they continue?


Teaching & Learning groups:  These groups can be exclusive, that is, for specific 
departments/areas rather than the faculty as a whole.  There is a small budget available 
to cover refreshments and materials.
