Dave asked that rotating the teaching of this course among the rest of the faculty be considered. He also asked if it is a valuable course to keep. All present including graduate students, agreed that this course should be kept and another way to teach the program be explored. A suggestion was raised at having one main organizer for this course and have faculty volunteer to find speakers for the course. After Dave left, the faculty voted to have him continue organizing the course for another year, or have Bill McComb do it.
Further discussion is planned.
Because a variety of people on campus and off were polled for their input, a way needs to be found to make the results available to everyone. Once the Personnel Committee receives a copy of the dean's recommendation, the Personnel Committee will make a copy of its summary report available to those groups that participated in the review process by posting a copy in the mailroom for public review. Bill McComb has agreed to this process. Because undergraduates were asked to participate in the review process, a way to make the summary report available to them was discussed. The Personnel Committee was asked to look into this.
