Room S134
Chairperson Dr. George Cronk called the
meeting to order at 3:55 p.m.
I. REVIEW OF MINUTES: The Senate approved the December 11, 2001, Faculty Senate minutes as presented without objection.
II.
CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT:
A. Dr.
Cronk welcomed two new Senators, Mr. Michael Bodek and Mr. Francis Schmidt, and
two returning Senators, Professors Robert Saldarini and Kevin Sullivan.
B. The
Executive Committee met recently with the President, Academic Vice President,
and Executive Vice President:
1. The
three-year calendar was once again discussed. It was agreed that in Fall 2002
the Monday schedule that appeared on Wednesday, December 18, would now be
rescheduled on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, which is November 27, 2002.
The same would be true in Fall 2003: the Monday that had been scheduled for
Wednesday, December 17, would be rescheduled on the day before Thanksgiving,
which is Wednesday, November 26, 2003. There was also a discussion on the many
days of registration scheduled prior to each semester of the three years.
After
this part of the Chairperson's Report, a motion was made to accept the
Three-Year Calendar as presented:
DEFEATED:
13-17-11
A
second motion was then made to accept only the Fall 2002 calendar as presented,
deleting the Registration dates of August 19-23, 2002.
PASSED: 34-5-6
2. The
College will furnish beverages (i.e., coffee, soda, tea) but not cookies at
Senate meetings.
3. The new technology building is expected to be finished by June 30, 2002.
C. The Senate Agenda and Minutes will now appear on the College's website. You can visit this website by going to www.bergen.edu/facultyhome/senate.asp.
D. Recent problems on the BCC website were discussed briefly. Dr. Cronk reported that the recent change from "Bergen.cc.nj.us" to "Bergen.edu" occasioned some corruption to faculty web materials, but the website management staff (working out of the Office of Public Relations) has fixed that corruption. Professor Anita Verno emphasized that faculty web pages contain educational material and should not be modified without prior approval from the page owner.
III.
