May 1 Faculty Meeting -- Interim Report and Discussion

We reviewed and revised draft materials for the May 1 Faculty Meeting - a preface, key considerations for improving our strategic position (performance/importance matrix), implications for short-term action, and setting fund-raising priorities for medium-term action. Kirsten agreed to make the noted changes and forward the final materials to the faculty clerk for distribution.

We agreed that we would share the Faculty Meeting materials with students over the summer -- probably an email to students' EC accounts in May. We may work with Student Government to facilitate this. Tamara (and the rest of us) will think further about how best to engage with the student body next year.

Future Meetings

· Wednesday, May 1 from 2:30 till 4:00 p.m. (Teague)
· Monday, May 13 from 9:00 a.m. till 3:00 p.m. (712 College Avenue) - Kirsten to prepare bibliography of data we've gathered from various sources (focus groups, etc.)
· Monday, May 20 (for the morning - exact times and location TBD)
· Friday, August 16 from 3:00 p.m. onward (location TBD)

We noted our new work timetable would allow us to present a final report to the Board of Trustees at its October meeting.

We approved minutes for April 24.

Next Meeting

Next meeting will be Wed., May 1 at 2:30 p.m. in Teague Library.
