D. Spiegel called the meeting to order at 11:01 AM,
and all introduced themselves. New and in attendance was C. Roth, who is
subbing for L. Milet, who will be returning after a two year absence.
Agenda & minutes approved unanimously.
Discussion
centered on issues in the version that returned from legal services last school
year. There was concern that there was no distinction between faculty files and
those of staff. D. Spiegel expressed concern for academic freedom, and that the
table on page 4 regarding who may authorize access is also a concern. D. Crider
noted that there is language regarding this in the CBA. D. Spiegel will
research and report back at Oct. 21 meeting.
C. Roth
noted concern regarding use of term and authorize in language on last page: In any case involving campus
(Public Safety), local, state, or federal law enforcement investigation, the
Manager of Public Safety or the Assistant Manager of Public Safety may request
and authorize disclosure of information This requires further clarity.
This issue is tabled until the next meeting.
W. Jefferson presented a brief history of
this project. He updated the committee on events during the summer, including
the need to go from Quizdom to CalComp due to logistical issues. In the end,
the agreement with the vendor called for $35 per clicker. The bookstore charged
students $47. R. Zera noted that pilots at other institutions (Millersville)
were under the same terms. CJ Rhoads expressed concerns, as she recalled
discussion about use of tech fee to subsidize clickers for pilot. L. McGhee
noted his recollection that this discussion did occur, but that it ended when
he noted that students couldn’t hold the devices. It was also noted that the
devices are personalized, so having the instructor keep them was not a good way
to pilot them. The bookstore will refund the $35 if the pilot fails, or allow
sellbacks at their usual 50% ($23.50) if the pilot succeeds. D. Crider noted
that we need to get feedback from the pilot participants, and also expressed
kind words of commendation towards the efforts of W. Jefferson and D. Spiegel.
No committee reports; committees will begin
meeting soon. We will ask new committee members to take the place of departed
members of subcommittees. R. Zera volunteered to serve on any of the
subcommittees.
M. Hudzina, the author, has departed, but L. McGhee, who worked on
this with her and W. Jefferson, stated he might have an electronic copy. We
would like to use this as a tool to accumulate needed feedback from fellow
faculty.
No meetings have occurred yet. No reports.
Thanks to R. Zera. D. Spiegel made note regarding having heard
from faculty with last names over 8 letters. He will discuss further with R.
Miller.
Meeting adjourned at 11:50
