The new faculty orientation has been very successful with 26 of 28 new faculty in attendance. Internet -2 is now available and networks across campus are being upgraded. It was mentioned that it appears some new Freshmen have fallen through the cracks and did not receive a laptop for class use. These individuals should contact Rich Toomey. Dr. Kinley asked that he be contacted concerning any Black Board problems. New technology is available to Faculty via a one-on-one basis or in groups; Deborah Runshe is the contact person for questions. He also mentioned that there are some on-line journals available and that the name ISU Press is an owned name for any publishing needs. 3. The proposal from Math and Computer Science to revise the Computer Science BA/BS Degree has Catalogue errors and was not taken up for discussion. 4. The proposal from Math and Computer Science to revise the Information Technology BA/BS Degree, removing banked courses was unable to be discussed and remains on the table. 5. There are many curriculum changes that need to be addresses throughout the University. Associate Deans were made aware of the needed changes and are encouraged to submit necessary paperwork. The Catalogue will be placed on-line next semester utilizing ACALOG. This conversion will catch many of the current errors. Colleges must make every effort to assure accurate and complete proposals are submitted. Courses that have long been banked, changed pre-requisites, etc. will no longer be allowed as the ACALOG program will flag them. 6.
