Minutes

1.                  10-10:30-Greg Knott – budget update
Greg will be invited to attend EC on a quarterly basis to give a “state of the budget” update.

2.                  Approve Minutes from April 7
Minutes were approved by a motion from John Wagstaff, seconded by Tim Cole.
 
3.                  Question Time
Search Committee Manual was approved.

It’s time for a call to go out for the June hiring plan. Bill will send that out soon.

EC determined it will normally meet only with candidates for UL and AULs. If a search chair would like EC to meet with other levels of candidates, they will need to send a justification to EC.

John Wilkin attended the Campus Budget Hearing with Greg Knott and Tom Teper. Members of the CBOC, along with the provost and his representatives, were very engaged. Their questions were thoughtful and ranged over a number of topics that reflected a clear understanding of the budget document and the vision of the Library conveyed in the document. Although it’s too soon to know what the budget picture will be for the Library, John felt encouraged by the support and the tenor of the questions.
 
4.                  Search committee for Mortenson Director
Suggestions were made and the members will be contacted.

5.                  Emerita Status for a faculty member
Emerita status was approved.
 
6.                  Unretreat Report – CMS/Web Presence
EC further discussed the CMS unretreat report. Different ideas were suggested and John Wilkin will follow up with individuals to get a team put together to work on this.
 
7.                  AP Investigation Time Survey Report
EC approved the report.
 
8.                  Library Ballots
EC discussed the issue of faculty recusing themselves from being on the different ballots, and decided to take no further action at this time.
 
9.                  Full FRC (4) and PTA (6)

This will be discussed at another meeting.
