Secretary:​ Roark Atkinson

We approved the minutes.

Tae cancelled faculty forum for today. No need as TFCS is postponed, no faculty interest.

Major minor fair was scheduled at a bad time yet again, conflicting with FA even though Center for Student Success expects faculty participation.

ASB Dean was happy that FAEC was active and ready to respond to the Provost TF on Structure.

Shared governance would work better if faculty got recognition for the work they have done.

How do we build a culture of trust and inclusiveness?

Helps explain low rate of faculty volunteers for service.

TF in online learning will give final report today.

Nov 1 FA Ken will present interim report on shared governance.

Jaime (SGA) will make a presentation. He will participate on creating Final Exam schedule.

Grades due date is not posted. It would be nice to have this at the beginning of the semester.

We should consult with President Mercer to discuss the job description for provost.

New provost will have option to choose new deans.

First identified swing space for the Library during renovation was declined. A new swing space has been identified but not communicated to librarians; the new space will need architectural plans and approval from the Space Allocations Committee as well as Cabinet. Architects are working on plans for the swing space concurrently with draft plans for the renovation. Poor communication for coordination of special collections during renovation.

Ask Library Dean Elizabeth Siecke to come to next FAEC to discuss how AEC can support the issues associated with the renovation project.

How will the Krame Center space sustain itself? Or any future donor? Problems for existing centers, like the Gross collections if they are moved to the general collection.

What are the courses that are going through ARC? We will need to schedule these for FA votes.

Adjourned 11:40 AM.
