A motion to approve the minutes of November 9, 2005, was made by Dr. Terneus and seconded by Mr. Hayes. Motion APPROVED.
Professor Lee moved to approve the Constitution for the “Lacrosse Club” at Tennessee Tech. Dr. Vondra seconded. After discussion of the disposition of funds if the Club were to disburse, Mr. Wilson moved to amend the motion to require that Section 2.c of the By-Laws be revised to eliminate the conflict with the NCAA rules for interaction with prospective age athletes. President Bell seconded the amendment. The question was called on the amended motion, and it was unanimously APPROVED.
Motion to approve SGA Bill No. F05-01: An Act to Promote the 2005 Clean Energy Initiative at Tennessee Tech was made by Mr. Hayes. The motion was duly seconded. President Bell made the clarification that Section 4 requires the approval of the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) and that fees cannot be approved and implemented by the University solely. The TBR reviews for approval fee increases at the June Board Meeting. Motion PASSED.
Drs. James and Stein reported on the SACS accreditation review process currently underway. The University will respond to the Off-Site Review Committee’s findings in a focused report to be submitted in mid-February. The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is online for review, and everyone is encouraged to review the plan and forward comments and suggestions to Dr. Stein as soon as possible. Funding for proposed QEP projects will be released after the SACS accreditation team has approved the QEP. The team will be visiting campus April 10-13 to complete the on-site review.
Motion to adjourn by President Bell and seconded by Dr. Terneus. The meeting ADJOURNED at 3:47 p.m.
