• Minutes: The minutes from the 22 September 2000 meeting are available on the webpage, http://www.northern.wvnet.edu/~tdanford/senate . They were approved as published (Deibert/Herrington).



• Ad Hoc GIP Committee: M. Watson reported for M. Grubor (excused) and distributed a draft of an abbreviated GIP, referred to as the GAPP. With some friendly revisions, this document was endorsed (Poffenberger/Gonot). Any further suggestions or revisions should be sent to M. Grubor.



• Faculty Position Description: R. Honeman offered a draft from the Faculty Senate Executive Committee which merges the document Dr. Hunter advanced with the position description which Faculty Senate forwarded to the administration last semester. After a friendly amendment(Rychlicki/Deirbert), the modified Basic Responsibilities of Teaching Faculty was approved (Poffenberger/Larson).



• Faculty Wish List: R. Honeman summarized the faculty wish list drafted by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. Comments and corrections were solicited. After some discussion, this wish list was endorsed (Hart/Gast). The final approved version can be found here.



• Temporary Appointments Policy: Dr. Hunter's response to Senate President Honeman implied that granting faculty rank to temporary appointments was not something that he could do unilaterally. Instead he offered to mount a system-wide initiative to push for redefinition of temporary appointments (which could then be granted rank).



• Committee Reports:
