Minutes of the Admissions, Records, Student Information
Committee for April 24, 2000

The meeting of the Admissions Committee convened at 12:05. Present were Judith Tucker-Snyder, Carol Lee Saffioti-Hughes, Charles Murphy, Mary Power, and Frank Mueller.

The committee reviewed query questions we are developing in conjunction with the Harley Davidson Data-Warehouse project, regarding profiles of applicants and subsequently admitted students. Mary Power and Carol Lee agreed to meet again this week, revise the working list, and circulate the questions for final discussion before forwarding them to the P.I. of the research project in the Business Department.

The Admissions Appeals sub-committee will consist of Fred Monardi,Walter Feldt, and Carol Lee Saffioti-hughes. Youn Lee's term is complete, and until other volunteers are garnered, the chair of the Admissions Committee (CLSH) has agreed to fill in on this much needed task. Murphy and Power indicated that the sub-committee usually meets about 3-4 times between now, and the beginning of the fall term. The chair asked Chuck to forward a tentative number of pending files for first consideration of the sub-committee, so that a meeting time can be arranged. We agreed that we will need the schedules of Menardi and Feldt for the summer. The chair indicated that she will be available most of the summer, with advanced notice.

While we have no official word from the search committee, several people shared that they had heard that there were 15 candidates for the Enrollment Management position, and that committee is meeting tomorrow to narrow the field to six. The chair asked which, if any, of the faculty members of the committee would be available to meet with candidates. She also agreed to ask Ron Singer for the schedule of candidates as soon as it is available.

We briefly disussed plans to disseminate the revised list of queries regarding entering students, as possible discussion points for the candidate interviews for the Enrollment position. We also agreed that these questions would be included in the committee report for the end of year, as issues we plan to address as the data and the searching capabilities of the Harley project, grow. We also discussed the feasibility of inviting a representative from ACT to address the Admissions Committee, regarding the use of scores as predictive and placement devices. Mary Power indicated that she had made a preliminary investigation as to who the current representative is, and get back to us. The plan would be for us to bring in a representative next fall.

The next meeting of the committee will be May 3, at 3 p.m.

We adjourned at approximately 1:05.
