Announcement of faculty members needed for the Faculty Recognition Awards Committee. A request will be submitted to all faculty electronically.

Results of Faculty vote on revised Charter and proposed by-laws for implementation
Bob Barber presented the results of the vote (58 Yes, 3 No) by faculty on the revised Charter, and procedures for implementation (by-laws) for the elections of co-chairs and representatives for 2004-2005.

The Council approved the by-law for voting on the co-chairs for next year. A request for minor revisions has been submitted to the Council representatives electronically as of May 17, 2004. Interest was expressed in making additional Charter revisions next fall to include staggering of terms for co-chairs. Additional items of concern are the lack of an amendment process and emergency appointment procedures for a co-chair.
The Council will take up the by-law for election of Representatives at the May 28 meeting. Minor revisions were submitted to the Council electronically for review prior to that meeting.

Proposed Faculty appointments to the Governance Council
The proposal for the number of appointments to the Governance Councils by the Faculty Council was adopted. Procedures for selection were presented. It was stated that requests to name governance council representatives may be made to the Council shortly. If so, a call for interested faculty will be made and nominations taken up at the May 28 meeting.

Accreditation Self Study Evaluation Process
Russell Shitabata presented requests from the Self Study Leadership Team for feedback on Standard 1.A.5; Standard 1.B.4. Mission, Goals, and Planning; and a questionnaire regarding Lane’s outgoing Governance System. Please send your completed survey to Mason Davis via intercampus mail as quickly as possible.

Status of the Vice Presidential Search
Mark Harris and Mary Brau gave a status report of the search. Eight finalists have been selected and will be scheduled for interviews in late May and early June. The interview day for each will be six hours long. This will include a forum session that faculty are encouraged to attend and to submit feedback to the Selection Committee.
A proposal was made to have Faculty Council members participate in the hosting of the finalists. This has yet to be discussed by the Selection Committee.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:51 p.m.
