The Committee met by email. There is still a lack of participation on the Committee. They talked about the Research experience for High school Students and they talked to Mark Gale about working on the UAH Web site to put something up that is dedicated to High School Students. They will also put a keyword search on the front page at the top. They also looked at the faculty resignation data analysis. There were many that did not give a reason for leaving or the column was marked do not know. The idea of adding a second nurse practitioner did not go. The Committee talked about the nomination of faculty members to be involved on the QEP Oversight. There was a question of whether it was necessary for one faculty member to be a Faculty Senator and it is not necessary. There needs to be a faculty member involved with Freshmen and a member involved in good teaching methods and a member could be in a department in a good place to judge the success of the QEP. The Committee will determine the criteria and bring it to this Committee. They would like the involvement of this Committee in making the nominations.
