Laila attended a meeting regarding the Chancellor’s Diversity Initiative
- How can UIUC attract a more diverse community?
- Application fee is steep: $70. Possible fee waiver.
- Other barriers: High tuition, few scholarships, the need to seek funding.
- Mentoring program
- Outreach strategies
- Diverse search committees will help in the choice of faculty
- Minorities have to be attracted to our environment
- Our programs are not well-known, so they need to be marketed
- g. in geology, there are not many women and minorities
Hub Management Team
- Rethinking the way unit commitments are allocated
- Now, it is according to the number of GAs, which is a disincentive to have GAs
- They might tie the unit commitment to the number of FTEs and APs, which could possibly double our commitment to the Hub.
- Spring: Steve will be leading a discussion on IAS research questions
- Who’s who in IASL
- Some examples of READ Level 3 and above questions
CDC—Larry Miller
- There is a problem getting the money spent on time. We should be at 50% spent by now.

- Adam Matthew may waive our fees to database access
- Rod Allen, re: Acquisitions: we may lose money in the future; there are plans in construction for possible cuts.
Retreat: January 4, 2013
- Last retreat not well attended.
- This time we will discuss:
- Chancellor’s vision of excellence
- Themes of service
- Breakout sessions
- Possible authenticated logins
- This is a public university and will create a barrier. Visiting scholars will have a hard time getting and using a login.
- Authenticated logins will make Library IT’s work easier.
