Assembly Standing Committee Chair Reports
• CEBC –Jenny Dahlberg; Jenny announced addition of new member, Russell Dimond. CEBC now has a full committee; currently they are working on a titling survey for academic staff and on a white paper on dual roles.
• Communications – Peter Kleppin; Peter reported that Communications is having trouble with a clear understanding of their committee’s charge. The group is confused as to how their charge translates to tangible goals associated with assembly engagement. Discussion ensued with brainstorming and suggestions as to how to capture more engagement and shared governance education. Possibilities included: brown bag sessions given by committee members across campus, partnering with CASI’s to promote information, using the ‘all academic staff’ listserv to send ASEC minutes instead of Academic Staff Representatives sending minutes to their districts, etc.
Guest: Steve Stern, Vice Provost for Faculty and Staff; Steve discussed the Toolkit and initiatives. He also related that the agility agenda is less shackled by old rules followed in the past and it is in the draft stage. Ideas being addressed:
• Job security;
• Infrastructure of excellence – open/expanding time for grant writing and time for shared governance activities;
• Professional development – this area was overtaken by other events;
• Distinguished guidelines have been revised – question raised about appropriate number of steps required in order to be promoted.
• Critical Compensation Fund is in the second round Heather Mc Fadden suggested an email from deans informing their schools of the CCF exercise.
• Discussion took place regarding the qualities to look for in the next Vice Provost for Faculty and Staff.
