The motion, "Minigrant proposals will only
be reviewed if all required signatures are included upon submission" was read and discussed. Tom seconded
the motion. Tom said that he feels like all proposals should go to
committee. The consensus view was that if a proposal is clearly
problematic, the dean should discuss the problem with the proposer and have the
problem rectified, if possible, prior to sending to committee. The
dean's signature is the go-ahead for the
committee. It is not in place so that the dean must take all the
responsibility for determining the proposal's appropriateness, but rather that
the dean acknowledges that the proposal could be advantageous for increasing
student learning through assessment. The motion carried as is
unanimously.
The
motion, "Grant
proposals will only be accepted September 1, December 1, February 1, and May 1
of each year. The mini-grant sub-committee will decide within two weeks of
submittal" was amended (Tom moved,
and Monica seconded, to strike "September 1, December 1, February 1, and
May 1" and change to "September 15, November 15, February 15, and April
15". The motion carried unanimously.
The
motion, "Any faculty
member or department may submit any number of mini-grant proposals, however, the
mini-grant subcommittee may decide to postpone awarding multiple grants until
the next submission date" was seconded by
Doug and passed unanimously without
discussion.
The three ENG-department
proposals were discussed and voted
upon for action:
GenEd proposal: Vote was 1 Yes, 6 No, on
the grounds that it seeks to pay faculty for regular
duties.
Video purchase: Unanimous consensus was to
return the proposal, encouraging proposers to resubmit. The corrective
measures have been sent to the proposer before and will be
re-sent.
Sigma Kappa Delta: Unanimous consensus was
accept the proposal upon the condition that assessment measures be developed and
sent to the committee prior to disbursing any
funds.
