                                                           iv.      Review of CCF for 2014 data exercise

Jason recommended we ask the adhoc budget committee to review the issue of a high demand fund. Additionally it was recommended to convene the same CCF review group that did the 2013 exercise review/report to do a similar analysis for the 2014 exercise.  CEBC would continue in its current form and structure; deciding to prioritize the promotional steps and multiple roles issues, as well as discussion of what a pay portfolio would look like. The issue of a portfolio or list of tools (i.e. tool-kit) for compensation to provide maximum ability to compensate and reward high quality staff, while reducing the perception of the “job carousel.” Steve Stern is leading this issue for the faculty.

---For future meetings it was suggested committee reviews the ASPP to review the charge of CEBC to ensure we are prioritizing future agenda items.

5.     Critical Compensation fund report update-report and resolution was distributed and the assembly voted to accept both in the Oct 2013 meeting.  As this topic had been previously heavily discussed, we only reviewed the status of the report briefly.

 

6.     2012-2013 CEBC annual report-draft was distributed and reviewed. Mats moved to approved the draft report as presented, Maya seconded. Upon vote, all members voted unanimously to accept the report.

 

7.     Election of co-chair. Jenny requested nominations for anyone interested in filling the vacated co-chair when Karen retired. Jason was nominated and accepted. Upon vote, all were in favor of electing Jason as co-chair.  Marc volunteered to assist with the technical aspects to the co-chairs—posting minutes/agendas to the KB and connecting with the Academic staff website and announcing meetings.

 

8.     Future meeting scheduling-Jenny will send a doodle to find a common standing monthly meeting time. Maya suggested we have it available for those who can’t physically attend that they call or skype in. We decided to meet in Bascome for next three months (Nov, Dec, Jan) and would revisit this if it caused significant hardship for members.

 

9.     Miscellaneous-Mats-curious about who receives complaints of sexual harassment violations on campus? The office of equity and diversity should be monitoring and receiving such complaints.
