| SACS-COC Self-Study Steering Committee Meeting:
March 12, 2001 |
| 1) New Web-site: We have moved the web-site
out of the Psychology Departments folder into our
own SACS folder. Memory problems were beginning
to occur as the web-site grew. Up dating of
committee minutes and research questions has been
delay due to the need to revise all the links.
The new URL is http://departments.umw.edu/sacs/www/index.html. |
| 2) Budget: We discussed the
budget Larry has submitted and the assumptions it
is based on. The budget does imply that we'll
need to do the research ourselves and a research design
team was proposed. We will want to make use
of existing archival data and as many recent studies
as we can uncover. |
3) Site Visits:
- At Phil Hall and Jack Allen's suggestion, in
April, Larry will be shadowing a SACS visiting
team at Columbia College.
- Selecting campuses we want to use as analogs
will be one of our next major challenges.
Roy Smith noted that for the purposes of his committee,
we needed to visit schools that had successfully
made the transition to dual campuses and offer
programs for "non-traditional" students.
Meta offered the use of JMC's teleconference facilities
as one way to reduce travel expenses.
|
| 4) Rescheduling the next meeting: The assembled
members agreed to move the next meeting to April
24th at 4:00 PM at the James Monroe Center. |
5) Other Planning efforts: Given the
recent announcement about a company being hired to
develop a 10 year Master Plan, everyone agreed that
we needed to know what other efforts are underway.
Specifically, as a foundation for our exploring the
changes we want to recommend, we need:
1) to have a good idea of what is already
planned for the near future,
2) to know what is plausible, as well as, what is
possible for the two campuses within the ten year
scope of our study
† Therefore, the agenda for the next meeting
will be briefings by Rick Hurley and Meta Braymer
regarding the plans that currently exist for the two
campus, e.g. new building or major investments in
new or existing programs. |
| 6) Action items: Larry is to talk to
Rick Hurley to see if he is available and willing
to present. at the April 23rd meeting. Anyone
who can make it is encouraged to attend the session
being planned by the engineering group that has been
hired to create a 10 year construction plan for MWC.
The announcement hasn't been sent out yet, but Ron
Singleton thought the session was scheduled for March
21st. |
Addendum:
- Rick Hurley has agreed to present at our next
meeting.
- The meeting with the engineering group will
not be on March 21st, but instead will be scheduled
in April.
