a. ECHO Group (Enhancing Community, Harmony and Organization) Monday will be the 2nd meeting of the cabinet, deans and Fac.Org. rep. – address issues of importance to campus and look to the members so that the information flows out into the organization (by that I believe he means the campus); every meeting will have as a standing agenda item strategic planning; 2nd item – enrollment management

vi. Research Course Reassignment – Instruct the Deans - please share your unit criteria with your faculty; Fall 2008 is the earliest that anyone could lose their course release – this process should be good for all of us and intended to help us grow/ Q-can the criteria for all units be made public? A-yes – I will put them all up on the Web for everyone to see; Q-isn’t one of the main purposes of tenure to enable you to undertake big projects like a book? A- you tell your chair and your dean what you are doing, the progress you are making, and continue with your project – complete package of what you have done in the past and what you are proposing to do; Q-when do you anticipate the document will be available? and does it need to come back to Fac. Org? A- I feel that the new criteria are not incompatible with previously voted on policy; should be able to see all of the criteria very soon
vii. Entry into Buildings on Weekends/Campus closed – minimal police coverage – the Cabinet will try to work on this issue (with introduction of new Technology); meanwhile be sympathetic to the Police and their jobs
