2. Question Time – Dean Wilkin shared the following:

 

• An announcement on interim Library Dean is imminent. Dean Wilkin will be meeting with the Provost on Wednesday, November 30, 2022 regarding this. A decision has been made but there are formalities that need to be completed.
• There is good progress on the Dean’s permanent successor.
• The AULs and Directors have put together a timetable and assignments for the budget document, and they have shared that with Dean Wilkin. Dean Wilkin also shared that timetable with EC.

 

3. Review position descriptions – EC had some robust discussion regarding two position descriptions and suggested some changes for clarity and completeness. Kelli Trei will report back to the search committees with the suggested changes from EC so that these searches can move forward.

 

4. PRC Assignment – EC appointed members to serve on a PRC. Lucretia Williams will reach out to the appointed to see if they are willing to serve and report back to EC.

5. 2-2:30 Co-chairs of LSSC and LCP

 

• There was discussion on the 5-year Unit Head reviews. Several Library faculty members have their 5-year reviews coming up in 2023, and this is on the radar of EC, LCP, and LSSC, which have representation in this process.
• LSSC and LCP gave perspectives from their members on the migration of services from UGL.
• EC members provided an update on the status of the draft charge for a group to complete preliminary work for the role of specialized faculty in the University Library.

 

6. Review policy edits for making acting and interim appointments – EC reviewed feedback received from Library administration members and suggested edits for the acting and interim appointments document. Once the policy has been updated with EC’s recommended verbiage suggestions, it will be presented to the Library Faculty meeting in January 2023 as an informational item.

 

 

Meeting adjourned at 3:00 PM.
