1. CLAS Student Advisory Committee --seeking nominations
1. CLAS Student Advisory Committee (attachment)– seeking nominations – Fred
As I mentioned at the unit head meeting, I am seeking nominations to our CLAS Student Advisory Committee. Attached you will find a brief description of our committee. I am seeking two or three new members with representation from any of the following departments: AWRI, ANT, ART, CHM, COM, ENG, GEO, GPY, HST, MOV, MUS, PHI, SOC, STA, and/or WRT. Please email me the student’s name and a couple of sentences about why he/she would serve the college well.

2. Personnel Policy Change-Gary Stark
The "Report of Unit Faculty Vote" form used in personnel actions has been revised because of the two recent changes in the personnel policy: faculty may now recuse themselves because of conflict of interest, and 1st and 2nd year faculty may not vote until they have successfully passed their first contract renewal. (However, 2nd year faculty this year are grandfathered in, and they may vote in 2010-11 personnel actions.) The revised form has been posted on the CLAS web page:
http://gvsu.edu/clas/index.cfm?id=6AB2A993-C06E-FC05-B1EB30AFD1CAC4CE#personnel
Please use this form for all personnel actions.
