Carol Zander presented the rationale and plan for CSS curriculum changes (see CSS proposal). After brief discussion, Suzanne Sikma moved to accept the CSS Proposal. Jack Meszaros seconded. The motion was passed unanimously.
Suzanne Sikma updated the EC on New Program Planning procedures. The EC affirmed that new ideas for programs should be presented to the Academic Council. New ideas could come from any department, any faculty, or any group within UW Bothell.
Jack Meszaros took suggestions for Mary Huneke on how to arrange picnic. It was suggested that academic programs be given food assignments.
Jack also updated the EC on Ray Lou's visioning process commenting that consensus was beginning to emerge that values non-traditional and engaged scholarship. Also valued will be institutional agility and diversity.
Note was made that the attendance at the Distinguished Lecture event looks promising.
Retreat planning will be conducted by Arnie Berger from CSS and Linda Westfall of Nursing. There should also be some more veteran hands to help with the process.
Jack will solicit nominations for Vice Chair by e-mail.
Dan consulted on the advisability of a friendly amendment to the proposed GFO bylaws that would enable the GFO chair's program, as well as the vice chairs', to elect a separate program representative at their discretion.
