Minutes of the University Committee
for May 4, 1999

The Committee met in 262 CART at 11:10. Members present were Laura Gellott, Fran Kavenik, James Kinchen, Carol Saffioti-Hughes, and Lee Van Dyke. Also present was Larry Duetsch.

Relying primarily on the most recent faculty committee preference survey, the Committee identified appointees to standing faculty committees (Admissions, Records and Student Information; Athletic Board; Graduate Studies; Information Resources; and Lecture and Fine Arts). The Secretary of the Faculty agreed to verify that the individuals named will accept appointment.

The Committee reviewed and revised the instrument that it plans to use to survey faculty perceptions of administrative performance. It was agreed that the revised instrument should be shared with the Chancellor's Cabinet on May 11.

The Committee reviewed and discussed the agenda it established last week for the meeting with the Chancellor's Cabinet next week. It was agreed that one additional item - the relationship of the Office of Financial Aid to faculty governance and to the Engaged University Council - should be added to that agenda.

The meeting adjourned at 12:20.
