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

• OAE meeting – Dean Wilkin updated EC on the annual meeting with the Office of Access and Equity (OAE). Attendees were John Wilkin, Susan Breakenridge, Skye Arseneau, and Kelli Trei. It was a very good meeting. Kelli Trei also noted that we have been on track with improvements since 2015. The Dean asked OAE to provide more information on diversity in Civil Service hiring. There is a pending IHR program for internships in the area of Civil Service that responds to a previous library request. Their office will also ask the library team attending for feedback on recruitment lists kept at the campus level.
• Academic Self-Study – The AULs and Directors had a deadline for full drafts of sections due at the end of the day of the meeting, and those would proceed to review and revision.
• Budget Meeting – Dean Wilkin met with the Provost on March 28, 2022, for the Annual Budget Meeting. It was very positive meeting. The Provost and the members of the Provost’s Office were full of praise for the work that has been done in the library and the way that we are engaging campus. The Provost has committed another $250,000 in recurring funds to our collection budget. It was also reaffirmed that the salary program would not carry a requirement for the library to self-fund increases.
• Dean Review – EC has received the request for the Dean’s annual review from the Provost’s Office. EC will be finishing up the AUL/Director reviews first.

 

3. PRC Appointments – EC made PRC appointments. Lucretia Williams will reach out to the appointed to see if they are willing to serve and then report back to EC.

 

4. Assign Paper Preparers/Editors – EC appointed Paper Preparers and Editors for individuals going up for tenure or promotion. Lucretia Williams will reach out to the appointed to see if they are willing to serve and then report back to EC.

 

5. Committee/Replacement- EC appointed a committee replacement. Lucretia Williams will reach out to the appointed to see if they are willing to serve and then report back to EC.

 

6. 2:00 – 3:00 Co-Chairs/Chairs of LSSC and LCP – Dean Wilkin shared with EC, LSSC, and LCP a presentation on planned administrative changes that address Chris Prom’s temporary appointment, the closure of the UGL, and other adjustments. The presentation clearly defined the roles of the AULs/Directors who report to Dean Wilkin. After the presentation there was some discussion and feedback. The committees were given until April 1 to provide feedback to the Dean on the plan.

 

7. Diversity Committee Members – EC decided that there will be no committee replacement for the two vacancies at this time due to the short time left on the appointment calendar.

 

8. Unit Head Review Guidelines Amendment Update – EC approved a minor addition to the guidelines, and that edit will be incorporated into the official document.

 

9. Proposal for Coordinator for Research and Teaching Professional Development – Tabled for future EC Agenda

 

 

Meeting adjourned at 3PM.
