The Assessment and Institutional Effectiveness (AIE) Committee met on Aug. 7, 2018, at 1 p.m. The meeting minutes are as follows:
Dr. Geehan opened the meeting at 1 p.m. with a goal of reviewing the Institutional Effectiveness Recommendations for the 2018 annual report. In the area of Diversity of Faculty and Staff, it was agreed that the Diversity Task Force has been replaced by the Presidential Advisory Committee on Diversity and Inclusion. In the Student Enrollment, Persistence, Retention and Graduation section, it was agreed that both the Strategic Enrollment Plan and the Strategic Directions and Priorities Plan need to be updated. With regard to Assessment, initiatives already completed were removed from the prior year report language and language was also modified to include a college-wide approach to assessment activities.
In the area of Shared Governance and Communication, lengthy discussion addressed possible changes and/or additions, but was not codified. Mr. Wax suggested consultation with Mr. Kennedy regarding recommendations on communication between and among administrative and academic departments.
The committee will return to the task of reviewing remaining categories — Professional Development, Training and Succession Planning and Technology on Campus — at its next meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 2 p.m.
The next and final meeting before the new academic year will be Aug. 21 at 1 p.m.
