The last Faculty Senate meeting of the academic year was last week. There were two curriculum changes that did not get addressed and the Faculty Senate Executive Committee will be looking at them today. Most of the faculty committees are finished for the year, except for the Faculty Grievance Committee. There are two grievances that will continue through the summer.

Attending the PAC is an experience that can't be duplicated in a classroom and Mr. Skiff very much appreciated the opportunity to attend.

The Exempt Employees Association has been active for the last couple of weeks. On 5/24 an email ballot went out to the members on three recommendations for how to distribute salary funds next year. Fifty-three responses were received. The majority choice was to distribute the all funds available toward an approximately 2% general salary increase for all exempt employees. Another email went out last week regarding the accreditation study feedback. This afternoon at 3:00 is the spring EEA meeting in SUB 204/05. It is a full agenda. The code committee met yesterday to make revisions to the code changes proposed in the winter. These will be discussed today and later will go out to EEA as an email ballot.

Two new committees are up and running: the SUB/Rec groundbreaking will be meeting tomorrow and Mr. Anderson is putting together a team to plan the Music Building grand opening. The CWU-Des Moines and CWU-Moses Lake centers will also be celebrated next year.

The HECB discussions on accountability measures continue. This year, the state universities will be reporting according to the old measures, but will move forward on developing the new measures for next year. The measures will look at graduation efficiency from community college through university. Other measures being developed: system measures, e.g., financial need met by financial aid and some kind of graduation rate; institutional measures, e.g., efficiency, student satisfaction, degree production; benefits to the state other than producing degrees, e.g., service missions. Almost everyone agrees that the problem with past measures was that they focused on inputs and outputs rather than on learning outcomes. Washington may participate in the national study of student engagement as a means to measure these factors. Better measures of undergraduate research and a measure of the ability to raise scholarship funds are under consideration. There is some uncertainty about what the ultimate goal is for all of this information in Olympia. The national study of student engagement for this year is almost completed.

The commission's goal is to look at the overall impact of Athletics on the campus community. Commission chair, Ethan Bergman, suggested looking at intercollegiate athletics, as well as club sports and recreational intramurals. A set of emails is being circulated on the campus that appears to come from Dr. McIntyre, but may contain viruses. ITS is working on this. However, Dr. McIntyre wanted to alert the campus that staff should be cautious of any suspicious looking emails, no matter whose name is in the "From:" line.
