1.2 Reports from Administration
Dr. Radonovich reported that he has authorized and allocated monies to buy new equipment and software for Testing Services. He also reported that the cost of Scantron is high and Testing Services has a small staff with many tasks. They are requesting that Scantron only be used for major testing. They have been having groups of 25 students taking weekly or daily quizzes and this is expensive.
Dr. Radonovich reported he met with Dr. Gerald Karr and Dr. John Gregory regarding the REU. Dr. Radonovich and Dr. Gregory have committed funds for the project. When the REU was proposed it was proposed that the Finance and Resources Committee of the Faculty Senate serve as the Oversight Committee. Would you like another group such as the Faculty and Student Development Committee to serve as the initial oversight committee? Dr. Radonovich asked for the input of the Executive Committee on who they wish to oversee the project initially.
