Joan
provided an update on networking and database consolidation in the Office
of Academic Affairs, including new efficiencies:
There is now a permanent
ISP address for the local quasi-network.
Much more work can be done at the front desk, with less running
from office to office and computer to computer.
The office has in effect instituted an access security system.
This
work continues.
Nelson
proposed that the committee begin wrestling with “critical issues” which accompany
the data initiative. A subcommittee
was formed to define and to begin to address those issues. Pat Pokay, Don
Staub, and David Anderson will provide the full committee with a report at
the August meeting, the intention being that the full committee will then
devote much of its time to discussion of those issues.
The
committee agreed that we should move toward acceptance of the Dean’s May 6
proposal. The Dean proposed the establishment of a Professional Education
Faculty committee, with the present DAAC committee becoming the Professional
Education Assessment Committee within that new structure. At issue is whether
the DAAC’s current successful ad hoc work (database consolidation, etc.) would
suffer under the Dean’s proposal. It was agreed that Nelson would work with
Jim Berry to reconcile the desire to accept the proposal with the desire to
maintain current momentum. Nelson will provide a concrete recommendation at
the August meeting.
Brain
Filipiak agreed to quickly gather committee member summer availability information
and to distribute that info to all members.
