IX.
NEW
BUSINESS
Senator Shapiro pulled ASD
07-80 Spring 2007 New Course Proposals from the consent calendar due to his concerns
with the course descriptions for HESC 203 and 303. He explained that it does
not take 45 hours to cover the material indicated in the course description. He
requested additional information to justify the amount of units assigned to
these two courses and suggested revising the course descriptions because they
place emphasis on the certifications, as they are written. Chair Guerin stated
that the Senate office will ask for a review of these course descriptions.
M/S/P [Fromson/Bedell] to approve ASD 07-80 Spring 2007 New Course Proposals.
(Approved unanimously.)

Jay Bond, Associate Vice
President for Facilities Management and Kim Apel, Facilities Planner,
summarized the findings of the Faculty/Staff Club Feasibility Study Results
completed by Brailsford & Dunlavey. After analyzing data captured from a
visioning session, detailed market analysis, electronic survey of faculty and
staff, use of an integrated financial model, and three visits to campus,
Brailsford & Dunlavey found that the creation of a modest Faculty/Staff
Club appears to have the support of both the administration and the faculty and
staff. Copies of the Executive Summary, Market Analysis, and Financial Analysis
were distributed to the body during the discussion of this item. Mr. Bond and
Mr. Apel addressed questions from the floor until the meeting was adjourned.
