- ACF representative: Since P. Canary is no longer a full time faculty member, he
can no longer serve as the ACF representative. C. Rogerson asked for a
volunteer to assume this position. No one was forthcoming. This is a critical
position and will need to be filled. Anyone interested please contact him or T.
Danford.

listed committees (note: some committee members are continuing and/or are

- Faculty Salaries: T. Danford reported that the Board of Governors has approved
a salary increase for qualified full time faculty. This recommendation will now
need approval from the HEPC. Each faculty will receive $1000 plus a merit
increment of $500 to $900. Classified staff will receive an average of $1500 as
will major administrators. These salary increases will take effect on 1 October
2001 and will be added to the base salary.
- Excellence Awards: C. Rogerson asked about the excellence awards and
whether the faculty senate felt they should be reinstated. A motion ( ? / ? ) to
restore the award and to explore a new method for selecting the winner was
made and unanimously passed. This should be an agenda item for the
Professional Development Committee.
- Faculty Concerns: C. Rogerson initiated a discussion of some of the changes
which have occurred over the summer. Several major concerns surfaced and it
was decided that a letter should be written to the President. A motion was made
(A. Secreto/B. Hudak) directing the faculty senate executive committee to approve
the letter and send it as soon as possible. This motion passed unaminously.
- Adjournment: With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:05 pm
(Honeman/Craig). The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Faculty Senate
will be Friday, 28 September 2001 in the Culinary Arts room, HA, Wheeling
Regional Campus.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas R. Danford, secretary
