A.
Approval of the 9/25/01 minutes
was deferred until the 10/23/01 meeting.
B.
There was discussion regarding
the Annual meeting. Suggestions of how to make it a better meeting were
presented. The feeling was that it was too formal, consider a smaller facility
for next year as the Valhalla B was too large, Port ‘O Call or Cleary Center
was suggested. If there is to be a Council meeting preceding the Annual meeting,
then it should be held in 263 Cartwright in advance, allowing time for the
Council to greet the guests at the Annual meeting. Refreshments would be ordered
in advance and confirmed one-day prior.
C.
The Sexual Harassment Hearing
Roster was discussed, and a list of 12 volunteers will be sent to the
Affirmative Action and Diversity Office by the due date of October 15.
D.
The Joint Planning and Budget
Committee Member Approval was discussed. Strategic Planning also plays an
important role in this committee. Another representative is needed from the
Academic Staff Council. The Executive Committee brought forward, Jim Jorstad to
the Full Council for approval. M/S/P to forward Jim Jorstad to Ron Rada for the
Joint Planning and Budget, and Strategic Planning Committee.
E. Chair Wirkus read the pertinent
part of the Matt Pommer article regarding the UW Faculty and academic 4.2%
salary raises. Some discussion followed, with the feeling the staff should be
thankful for the 3.1% that this will amount to, in the end.
