1. Minutes – The January 10, 2022, minutes were approved upon a motion from Mara Thacker, which was seconded by Peg Burnette.

 

2. Question Time – The Dean updated EC on the following:

• The budget request document is going very well.
• The building project was approved by the Board of Trustees. An announcement has already gone out to LibNews, as well as a general press release.
• Dean Wilkin will meet with the Senate Committee on the library to discuss the budget document and the upcoming Academic Program Review.

 

3. Proposed Revisions to DEIA Committee Charge – EC member Joe Lenkart, who also serves as the Co-chair of the DEIA Task Force, updated EC on the rationale and timing of the proposal to transform the task force to a standing committee. There was a suggestion that the DEIA Task Force confer with the Diversity Committee about significant overlap in charges to either consider ways to merge the two groups into a single committee or clearly distinguish their charges so that they are not working at cross-purposes or duplicating effort.

 

4. Teaching and Learning Task Force Member Nominations – EC appointed members for the Teaching and Learning Task Force. This task force will select the chair for this committee. Lucretia Williams will reach out to David Ward with the EC appointed members.

 

5. 2:00 – 3:00 Co-Chairs/Chairs of LSSC and LCAP
   • Annual Budget – The AULs and Directors also joined for this portion of the meeting. Dean Wilkin thanked LCAP and LSSC for their vigorous engagement with the draft document and noted that their detailed feedback was very helpful. Members of EC, LSSC, and LCAP gave feedback on the budget document for use by the administrative team in revision.
   • Status Update on Position Rankings in Budget Group – EC, LSSC, and LCAP discussed position rankings in advance of the next Budget Group meeting. Mara Thacker, the EC representative to the budget group, will take the feedback to inform the discussion for the current interim process.
   • Inclusion in Governance Task Force Report – Tabled for future EC Agenda.
