1. 1:30-2:15 Provost

• Provost Cangellaris joined EC for the first part of the meeting. He introduced the process used for searches for Deans of colleges. The Provost’s office always meets with the Executive Committee and administrative team of the college (this meeting). Some colleges have more specific requirements for these searches, but the library does not.
• EC will need to discuss and provide recommendations for search committee members from inside and outside the library. The Vice Chair of EC serves as a conduit to communicate information from EC to the Office of the Provost during the search process. The Provost will decide on a Dean from another college to chair the search.
• A search firm will be used with approval from Chancellor Jones and President Killeen, but the firm has not yet been determined.

 

2. 1:30-2:45 AULs/Directors
   • Tom Teper presented an overview of the Academic Program Review Process and next steps. The full overview slides may be found in the meeting documents. The major focus now is on creating the self-study. The AULs and Directors are working on this with input from EC, LCAP, LSSC, AC, and the Senate Committee on the Library, with an internal deadline for completion of April 1.

 

3. Approve minutes – February 7, 2022

• Bill Maher moved to approve the February 7, 2022 minutes. Kelli Trei seconded the motion.

 

4. Question Time

• LSSC and LCAP representatives will join EC March 7 instead of February 28.
• Following the discussion with the Provost, EC will meet separately to identify names to suggest to the Provost for the search committee for the new Dean of Libraries.
• We should have a return to normal academic position procedures after the next Budget Group meeting, bringing these decisions back to EC.
• The Senate Committee on the Library will discuss the Academic Program Review for the University Library in the coming week.

This agenda item was postponed to the next meeting.
