5. An ad hoc group consisting of John Gaunt
(chair), Mike Zoltowski and Eckhard Groll was appointed by Chair Sutton to
document the impact of minors in the engineering schools. The group will report to CFR in 2-4 weeks.
6. Groll moved that engineering faculty
documents be submitted and distributed electronically to the faculty; Okos
seconded the motion. Documents will be
posted on the web and an email summary of documents posted will be sent to
engineering voting faculty with a link to the website. A mechanism for response will be included on
the website. After discussion, Zoltowski
moved that as an amendment to the original motion, in addition to the email
notice, a hard copy of the email summary be sent via campus mail to the voting
faculty; Groll seconded the motion, which passed with no one dissenting. The original motion passed with a vote of
6/1. As soon as technically feasible,
faculty documents will be submitted and distributed using these new procedures.
