2. Meeting minutes #960 were approved as
distributed. Revised minutes #959 were
distributed.
3. Announcements:
§
The meeting
scheduled for March 22 was canceled due to lack of a quorum. ECE and BME documents were informally
reviewed.
§
The format of the
spring faculty meeting has been revised to allow time for input on the draft
strategic plan from faculty, staff, and students. Reports from CFR, FrE, and EIT will be posted
on the engineering web site for faculty review.
§
Selection of the
Dean’s Advisory Committee was discussed.
A formal committee with fixed terms rather than an informal group as was
originally planned was a concern because it may imply this ad hoc committee
will be used in lieu of the constitutionally prescribed role for CFR.
§
Chair Sutton
reminded the committee that his term as chair expires at the end of this
semester and that election for a replacement must take place before the end of
the semester.
