faculty of the CEIT. Please note that the schedule change is expected to take place in the 2016-2017 academic year, and there has been no specific decisions on what that schedule will be. However, it does look like it will include fewer common hour times
as well as more class sessions on Fridays. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

as to give updated dates for faculty meetings in the 15-16AY.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">In the 14-15 academic year, we had approved of the creation of a Campus Leadership Committee. This committee would be comprised of the officers of Faculty Council,
along with various other faculty members depending on the issue at hand. The group would meet with the VPAA and other relevant administrators, depending on the issue at hand. The goal of this group is to foster communication between faculty and administration,
and it will meet approximately once a month. <b>Please check with your constituents, and let me know if you or your constituents have any ideas of topics that should be addressed in this forum.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">About a week ago, the Campus Leadership Committee had its inaugural meeting, to address the issue of scheduling. As you know, there is discussion underway about
how to best ensure that students are not put in a position of having multiple classes that they must take that are all offered at the same time, and to help ensure that there is more activity on campus on Fridays. Along with the Calendar and Scheduling Committee,
and an ad hoc committee of faculty from CLAS, we had sent out a survey to get a sense of faculty preferences. I'm attaching the results of that survey. At the Campus Leadership Committee (which was attended by the VPAA, Nick Ramer, Moreen Mitchell, Jackie
Nealon, Gale Haynes, Michele Dornisch, Eric Lichten, Louisa Kramer-Vida, and Amy Freedman, and Glenn Magee. (The faculty were a mix of Faculty Council officers, representatives from the Calendar and Scheduling Committee, and the ad hoc faculty committee from
CLAS.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">Discussion focused on the possibility of reducing the number of common hours, from four days a week to two. There was debate concerning the use of the common hour
for student clubs, and how extensively it's used, and what an optimal time for it might be. There was also discussion of adding more Friday classes. (Currently 7% of classes, I believe, are offered on Fridays, and there would be a goal of increasing this.)
Additionally, there was discussion of developing a schedule four years out, so students would be able to ensure that they can fit in all their required classes. This would also allow departments to get a sense of enrollments in advance, and to help ensure
that there aren't conflicts across departments in terms of classes that students in certain programs might need. There is an option on PeopleSoft that might be able to be used for this (to automatically flag potential conflicts for departments), but we do
not currently have that option enabled. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">I want to underscore that these were all points of discussion, and no decisions were made. It was emphasized by the VPAA that the Campus Leadership Committee is
a consultation and discussion body, rather than a decision making body. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">There will be a follow-up meeting of the group, in order to have more discussions regarding possibilities for scheduling software and coordination of scheduling
over time and across departments. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">With respect to meeting dates, although I had sent out a list of dates several weeks ago, I apparently jumped the gun on that - it turns out there are some conflicts
with some of the dates. Below are updated dates for meetings, with the changes in bold. (It is only Faculty Council meeting dates that have changed.) I expect that all Faculty Council meetings will be in the Hunt room, but I have not yet received confirmation
of that. All full faculty meetings but the first will be in Kahn 212 (where we met last year). The first meeting will be in Kahn 205. This room holds some more people, and the president is scheduled to come to the first meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
