Chair's Report
Chair Minke discussed the e-mail exchange regarding the
English Language Institute; state that this was helpful medium for the
discussion;
Dean's Report
Acting Dean Tim Barnekov reported on the following items:
1. Budget issues; UD basic budget for CHEP 14,383,000 recurrent funds;
most of this money is allocated for tenure line positions and supports
personnel of college; Direct allocations from state = $3,508,400; $859,500
are pass through funds from state contracts; Other combination of contracts,
grants, self-supporting operations = $6,654,473; This equals a total
of $25,405,373 for CHEP
We will experience some cuts in the UD budget; possibility that the
% that must be given back to the University may increase; State allocations
will probably be cut - we are supposed to set aside 2% and give it back
Dean Barnekov taking conservative approach in order to protect current
situation and so that there will not be future effects; one way is through
slowing down searches and keeping certain positions vacant (CCDFP director
and School of Education hires); Messick Chair will not be filled by
an outside person again (individual from outside reneged on agreed on
offer);
General situation - no more building in near future; emphasis on energy
savings; buy out of faculty time at 25% of salary will become university
wide;
2. Some professor not meeting with their Friday classes - this is in
direct conflict with university policies;
3. Review of clinical and public service faculty - stops at Dean's
level for review; therefore longer timeline than for tenure decisions;
next year tighter deadlines will be implemented;
4. Issue of extended appointments of tenure line faculty in Centers
- issue where does the $ come to support this;
5. ELI will become 10th unit in CHEP; will operate virtually like
a center; seen as positive addition because it is self-supporting; Provost's
office will cover if there is a deficit through ELI but historically
they have generated a surplus; potential collaborations include HRIM;
they will officially become part of CHEP on January 1, 2002;
6. Instructional Improvement Grants - 8 proposals were submitted and
are being funded from a total budget of $50,000; question if this is
a worthwhile endeavor and if it should be continued;
7. December 10th - Fred DiMico - Aramark Lecture
