C. Kefauver called the meeting to order at 1:05 pm. On a motion by F. DeCaria with a second by J. Plesa, the draft minutes from the 1 May 09 Faculty Assembly meeting were approved as published (http://www.wvncc.edu/tdanford/senate/).

Dr. Vicki Riley brought three items to the floor: 1) the draft faculty illness policy (rule) is still in the subcommittee and there should be a revised version for discussion soon; 2) the promotion committee is currently reviewing and revising the promotion rule; and 3) a new draft faculty position description.

The new faculty position description was discussed: there were many objections and suggestions for wording changes. On a motion by F. DeCaria with a second by D. Poffenberger, the matter was tabled until a sub committee could work on this description. Email discussion will start the process.

ACF report: M. Goldstein has submitted an ACF report via email. Please check it out.

Promotion Policy: K. Herrington reported some issues with the current policy, including initial appointment at instructor and subsequent promotion criteria (graduate credit hours, etc.). A revised version of the policy is now being reviewed by “legal” and will eventually be brought to the full Faculty Assembly. Please send any comments directly to K. Herrington (kherrington@wvncc.edu).

Middle College: The Middle College is starting this fall. Expect to see Middle College students in the B&O and perhaps in some of your classes.
