Minutes, November 15, 2000

4 P.M.

Present: Azukas, Cox-Hanley, Hartman, Hydorn, Norwood, Smith, Stevenson

Absent: Blakemore, Coleman, Columbus
 

1. We reviewed the meeting of October 23^rd. Members found it helpful to get the background. We also reviewed the history of the university movement, pointing out that it began twenty years ago with the agreement of the state to allow MWC to remain as is if a separate campus attended the needs of the growing population. The university initiative is to keep MWC rather than because it wants to grow.

2. We considered three pictorial representations of how a university structure for MWC might develop. A traditional university structure would involve separate administration of each college with an overall university administration devoted to specific overall duties. An expanded college model would continue to administer all functions except actual classes from a common administration with a central location. The third hybrid model would have a university level of administration and a central college level for common functions. Administrative functions peculiar to a given college would be sheltered there, physically, functionally, or both. We need some more practical information in order to consider these ideas further.

3. We would like more information from Brendaís fast track committee on programs. In particular we would like to know how many programs might be added in the next 5/10 years. Would they be primarily degree programs or certificate programs? Would "hybrid" students be allowed to enroll in both types of programs simultaneously?

4. We decided to explore the possibility of meeting at another time when attendees are not so hungry, tired, and/or angry. If each committee member would forward a schedule of time when a meeting is impossible, Roy will look for any remaining windows of opportunity.

5. We agreed to review the questions distributed with the agenda for the meeting and send additional questions to Roy for the list. We will also suggest sources for answers to these questions, whether from other institutions, our own faculty and administrators, or archived information already available.

Adjourned: 5:25
