Old Business

There was no old business to be discussed, however, several on-going projects were mentioned, including faculty evaluation policy revision and merit salary increases.

New Business

There was a discussion of All College Day, the self study and the NCA accreditation process. Several concerns were voiced, but faculty agreed that a positive approach would be best. An ad hoc committee was formed to meet with the President and convey faculty senate recommendations. The ad hoc committee is: C. Cornforth, K. Herrington, R. Honeman, D. Poffenberger, and C. Rogerson. A motion was unanimously endorsed authorizing this committee to meet with the President (Boyer/Grubor).

Adjournment: With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:15 pm (Honeman/Grubor). The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Faculty Senate will be Friday, 27 September 2002 in the Culinary Arts room, 108H, Wheeling Regional Campus.
