Minutes of the Admissions & Financial Aid Faculty Meeting

February 5, 2004

 

Present:  C. Bellomo, K. Edgin, T. Lumumba-Kasongo, L. Miller-Bernal, N. Pellegrino, D. Reis.

 

Meeting called to order at 12:30pm

 

1.   Minutes of 12/9 approved as submitted

 

2.   There was discussion around the best way to share the information the committee has gathered. It was decided that sharing the summary at a regular faculty meeting and then having a special meeting of the faculty if necessary, or preparing an executive summary to be placed in the Dean’s office for those who wish to view it to do so would be two options.

 

3.   It was decided after some discussion that the committee should use four questions from each section, and that it would be appropriate to move on to the academic section. However, it was also decided to use question 11 in student life as it was closely tied to question 8.

 

4.   After discussion it was decided that due to confusion question 8 would be re-coded using the following codes:

 

1.         As good as can be expected

2.         An ideal but…

3.         Doesn’t work

4.         Works for academics

5.         Community Court issues

      6.         Other

 

5.   Question 11 will be coded with the following codes:

 

1.         Better reporting system

2.         More education on the honor code

3.         Publicize hearings/verdicts

4.         Make honor code more visible

5.         Stronger consequences

6.         Increase community dialogue

7.         Other

 

6.      The four questions the committee will use for the section on academics are as follows: #28, 30, 33, 36. Themes need to be generated for these questions.

 

7.      The committee will meet next Thursday 2/12 at 12:30.

 

Meeting adjourned at 1:30 pm.

 

Respectfully Submitted,
