Fall 2019 Items

2020 Call Letter

When members reviewed the new version of the Call Letter, the following items were discussed:

  • As Jill Wesley’s last day at the College is 12/10, we will have to determine whom the
    letter should be sent to for Career Services representation.
  • Ms. Hallenbeck added that at our last meeting, adding Career Services to the listing of
    fees was discussed but because it is not considered a broad-based fee, it was not added in
    the second paragraph.

All present members agreed upon the newest version and it was approved to distribute. 

Student Fee Presentation

Members briefly discussed the results of the feedback form and that students did not complete the form past indicating whether they were an undergraduate or graduate student. 

Summer 2020 Course Fee Request

Dr. Daniel updated members on the Dean’s approval of the course fee request for HEA 663. She stated that Dean Hernandez was not in support of this fee and has request Dr. Schuhle-Williams to withdraw her request and seek alternate assessment opportunities for this course. It was determined that all members were in agreement to not approve the course fee request and Dr. Houston-Wilson and Dr. Daniel would work together to draft a committee response memo to Dr. Schuhle-Williams.

Spring 2020 Planning

Members reviewed the Spring 2020 Planning outline and decided to add the Commencement Fee for review. Members are interested to see with the implemented change, how the Commencement budget has been impacted.
