- New business
- email from Senate president
- request to add another student to the committee in order to address lack of diverse representation
- email was shared with committee
- chair discussed possible solutions with the Clerk of faculty
- replace current student rep.
- this decision would be made by Senate
- invite student(s) to consult with the Access/Inclusion/Diversity/Student Success team
- would fit in with current idea about the teams created, that each team should be working with a variety of groups around campus
- speaks to a larger point – we could involve perhaps multiple students, traditional and CCE in consultation with the working teams
- add third student to committee roster
- this would require complete restructure of committee schedule, team assignments, etc
- would require going back to Clerk’s committee for approval
- larger committee would create more logistical challenges to an already large committee
- replace current student rep.
- As we have discussed before, this is a reminder to keep all lines of communication open outside of this committee
- Committee was in consensus on solution b) above
- email from Senate president
- Action Item: Chair will email Clerk and Senate President to invite multiple students to participate in this process
- Agenda for Feb. 24th Faculty Lunch/Idea Incubator
- This session is for feedback primarily – for conversation
- Suggestion to try to avoid letting discussions fall into high levels of detail and policy, but to focus on larger ideas
- discussions of detail and policy could bog down discussion
- Agenda
- Share the link to the podcast
- Share a draft of the one-page summary
- Action item – committee members will work on googledoc to create – Damon will share narrative used in podcast as a starting point
- Reminder of general timetable for work
- Share plan for focus team work this semester

- Meeting ended with a moment of silence 10:24am
