Dissolution of University Advancement Committee - Mr. Paul Isbell
Mr. Isbell said over the past couple of years there has been a
lack of interest and participation by the members of the
University Advancement Committee and most meetings have been held
without a quorum. Also, the committee members felt that this
committee has become a group for disseminating
information/discussing business that is already discussed on
campus via other avenues (i.e. departmental meetings, Dean's
Council, Executive Advisory Committee, etc.) Mr. Isbell said at
the December 15, 1999 meeting of the committee, it was decided to
recommend to the Administrative Council that the committee be
dissolved. Mr. Isbell agreed to report to the Administrative
Council in the future anything that needed to be discussed or any
action to be taken in this matter. Dr. Kemp MOVED approval of
the recommendation that the University Advancement Committee be
dissolved with Dr. McGee SECONDING. MOTION CARRIED.
Revisions to Procedures of Commission on the Status of Women -
Dr. Gretta Stanger
Dr. Stanger said the Commission on the Status of Women approved
recommending an addition of new Section V. to their procedures to
be titled "Standing Committees" with the subsequent renumbering
of the present sections V-VIII to become sections VI-IX. Section
V. would read as follows:
V. Standing Committees
A. They shall be:
1. University Policy Committee
2. Public Programming and Publicity Committee
3. Safety Committee
B. Membership of each committee may include interested
individuals not on
the Commission. The chair of each committee must be
on the Commission.
C. Each member of the Commission except the Chairperson,
will serve on a
standing committee of the Commission. Newly appointed
members to the
Commission should make their committee selection soon
after appointment.
D. At the beginning of each academic year, every
committee's remaining
membership will form the nucleus to develop goals for
that year to be
reported at the October Commission meeting.
The Commission was also requesting to add the month of August to
the regular meeting months of the Commission so that VI.A. would
now read:
VI. Meetings
A. One (1) regular meeting of the Commission shall be
held the months of
August, September, October, November, January, February, March
and
April. The date and time for such
meetings shall be included in the
Administrative Calendar.
Dr. L. K. Crouch MOVED approval of the recommendation with Mr.
Boucher SECONDING. MOTION CARRIED.
Report from ad hoc committee on Sexual Assault Awareness -Dr.
Gretta Stanger
For informational purposes Dr. Stanger said last spring the Chair
of the Administrative Council appointed an ad hoc Sexual Assault
Awareness Committee with two charges: To determine if a need
exists for a campus-wide policy, and if a need does exist to
develop and recommend such a policy to the Administrative
Council. She reported that they have determined that a need
exists for a campus-wide policy and that the ad hoc committee
should have a proposed policy to recommend to the Administrative
Council at their next meeting. The ad hoc committee has reviewed
policies from other Tennessee Board of Regents schools assuming
they would have the same legal advice. She said the ad hoc
committee has also recognized they do have a new resource
accessible to them that is available in the Upper Cumberland
fourteen counties area, the Rape and Sexual Assault Response
Center, which is a coordinated effort not only to provide
examinations but also legal assistance and counseling. However,
the Center does not provide emergency medical attention.
Such Other Matters
Dr. Wilson said it is time to elect a chairperson for the
Administrative Council for the 2000-2001 year. The Nominating
Committee to recommend a chairperson will be: Dr. Whewon Cho,
Chair; Dr. Paul Semmes, Professor Mancil Johnson, Dr. Allan
Mills, and Dr. Jeffrey Marquis. The Nominating Committee will
make a recommendation to the Administrative Council at the
Council's next meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 3:25 p.m.
