Student members: Ex-officio: A. Craddock, B. McLaren, J. Ozmun, K. Schmid Executive Committee Liaison: J. Hughes Absent: J. Maxwell: family. Guests: B. Guell 1. SAMy Anderson called the meeting to order at 2:09 PM. 2. Minutes #10, (11-30-06), were presented and approved, 6-0-2, (Kiger/Worley). 3. Program Prioritization: SAMy sent a letter to the Executive Committee with the CAAC response. The General Education Council has voted and will sent their response to the E.C.. The Grad Council will also be sending forth their response. 4. Core Transfer Library: K. Schmid distributed copies of the Core Transfer Library. The Indiana General Assembly has mandated 70 courses be designated for transfer across the State. The receiving institution will take the course and count it in the exact manner as if the course were taken on that campus. To date, 33 courses have been accepted. The Commission of Higher Education has accepted the mandate and has Summer of 2007 to establish the 70 courses. The options for a course are: Accept, Do Not Accept, and Course Not Taught. The Catalog will list all ISU courses that satisfy the CTL with a “Transfer In” designation. 5. TAFFY: The proposal for a University College will need CAAC input in time for the April Senate meeting. The CAAC will need to gather as much information as possible by late January-early February and make specific recommendations to the E.C. who may act on it or pass it to committees. We must look at the concept, leadership, and unit inclusion. Students allocated to this unit will still be advised by an advisor from the students home college/department as per the Dean of that College assignment to the position. All other students remain in their own home college. Once a student attains sufficient CGPA or hours, then they naturally transfer to their home college. (A 15-45 hour window). The students belong to their home college at all times, the UC simply allows a venue for the student to receive advisement and close academic monitoring with all the resources to help assure success/retention in one place. A one-stop-shopping concept of taking care of the student needs with all required services in a central location. 6. The General Education Council recommendation for the Task Force membership was distributed. CAAC recommends that J. Ozmun be added to assure representation for UAAC and HHP. Student member should be recommended by the SGA. Once all members are in place, the Task Force will meet and select a chair. 7. Last date to accept proposals: Since Sycamore Advantage will be working from the on-line Catalog, the last date for Catalog input will be after the April Senate meeting. In order for proposals to reach Senate, the last date for CAAC to accept proposals will be March 15, 2007. 8. PPARC Report: M. Murphy reported the committee had reviewed the proposal that the break be extended to include Friday allowing staff additional travel time. Commission and Legislature update: Since the House majority party will be changing, there is anticipation that many of the initiatives will continue. The Governor has insufficient funds for an all-day kindergarten so a search for additional funds will be made. A number of legislators live in the Ft. Wayne and IUPU FW is looking at becoming a residential campus. Some of the held monies will be returned to the renovation and repair budgets for investment in the infrastructure. Some incentive money will be provided for enrollment and transfer efficiency. The shift in costs will be to the consumer. The Strategic Plan will be revisited. There is an anticipated 1.5% and a 2.5% increase in budget for the next two years respectively. Searches for administrative positions are beginning to move forward. The Carnegie Foundation has included ISU among 60+ institutions. Enrollment Management and Marketing reports advance are being made. They are updating with focus on the students-much more personal. 9. The committee adjourned at 3:37 PM. The next scheduled meeting will be Thursday, December 14, 2006 at 2:00 PM in Myers Tech TC 101E. Respectfully Submitted David J.
