Secretary (Sec’y), C. Bright-Kerrigan

• Reminder to send in Committee Reports for Minutes

• For reports, make sure you don’t use acronyms unless they are already defined on the SAC agenda, and use full names of people presenting or making comments.

Treasurer (Treas.), T. Bigos

• Budget attached

• Clarification on budget sheet. SAC Committees can transfer money around within their current budget. However, requesting more than what was allocated requires a full body vote.

3. Public Comment

Comments. The following comments were sent in anonymously via the online SAC Comment Box. The anonymous comments are managed by the Planning & Staff Engagement Committee of SAC. Please note the responses: Comment: HR policies continue to be revised without justification to the employees that they affect. Way too many loyal and long term employees, esp. women, have exited before retirement age, which means there is something wrong with the climate here. A climate survey is overdue, and in order for it to be effective it needs to be listened to and acted upon, otherwise it is just a useless exercise for employees who think their voice will be heard. Response: Per Brandon Washington, Director Institutional Equity and Compliance and Title IX Coordinator…… The Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance (OIEC) is charged with ensuring that policies do not have the effect of discriminating against anyone on the basis of their sex/gender. The statement below does not speak to a specific HR policy. However, any policy, procedure or practice that any one of our staff members believes has the effect of forcing long term, and female, employees out of the work environment can certainly be brought to the attention of the OIEC. In the event that a specific policy(s) is referenced as being discriminatory, the OIEC (and other appropriate offices) will thoroughly review said policy, its effects, and (if appropriate) make recommendations for revision. Any suggestion regarding the betterment of the University’s climate with respect to gender (and other) equity issues is always welcomed and appreciated. Comment: The directional arrows were repainted in Lot 5, and for some reason one arrow directs people to either turn left out of the lot or go straight. Going straight would be the sidewalk that runs along parking garage 3! Will this be corrected? I would hate to see an accident there or people trying to drive on the sidewalk!

Response: Per Nancy Rispoli, Parking Services Manager…Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The contractor repainted markings that were already on the asphalt. We will obtain paint to mark out the additional arrow. Comment: While we realize that tornadoes are an unusual occurrence here in our area, it appears there is no information available for those of us in the modular trailers near Parking Garage 2 as to where to go. Staff in these areas received confusing information. One group said they were told to go to the Cohen Center, one group made their own decision to shelter under the "up" ramp on Level 1 in Parking Garage 2 and another group said they were told that since their modular was new they did not need to leave because their unit was bolted down. None of these options sound very good. Tornadoes do not give a lot of warning - just ask the people that live in Cape Coral! Can you get an answer to this question? Response: Per Gerald Campbell, Emergency Manager……. Working with Chief Moore and Tom Mayo, I have prepared an annex to the FGCU Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan to address these issues (and others). You should have received an all faculty/staff email with the Tornado Annex to the FGCU Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me.

• Website redesign committee has been meeting and beginning to solicit bids. Looking at branding, logo, content etc... With a roll out date of August 1. A bit ambitious maybe, but that is what they are working toward. Build will be 3 tier deep and individual departments/colleges will be responsible for their own content management. Templates will be provided.

• Numbers for spring: Total headcount numbers are down 2.5%. 726 new enrolled now Last year numbers were 840 enrolled. Biggest gap is with grad and post grad enrollment. Even if we net numbers we will still be down the 2.5%.

• Summer /Fall.. App numbered looking good. Freshman for both semester 9 and 6% respectively. FTIC for summer and fall target 2325 fall and 300 for summer. 950 tx fall and 150 tx summer. Going to get tougher on freshman admits as apps are up and can be more selective. OOS apps are up by IS apps seem to. Be trailing a it.

• Dir. Grad studies reports that despite having applicants, they have been told no more students may enter.

• Retention subcommittee report: There will be a half day conference on Jan 29th focusing on mental health and resilience in students. Things to achieve: get faculty engaged.

• Groups will be split randomly. Articles will be sent out in advance for faculty to pre-read and ask participants. One is called "declining student resilience" and the other NYT. Article "who gets to graduate".

Performance Metrics:

• AAC review complete. have Chosen EAB (Grades First) software program. Hope to have install and up in March.

• Declaration Day committee will work with week of welcome committee and will have an event during the Presidents block party. Get faculty engaged in SL and discussing their fields of study for students to become excited in choosing a major. Mark thinks that convocation is a better idea as students are not interested in this- they want food and fun games. Sean says we do not celebrate graduation only on the day of. We need to get students really excited about their majors. This will also tie in to the 6 year grad rate reductions.

• Buckingham Planning group is going through the surveys that were made for location use Biggest obstacle is the age of the buildings Buildings haven't been used since the 1990's One idea is making use of those buildings as storage Storage is an immediate use, but the distance is the biggest challenge If people are going to be moved there, there will need to be parking facilities, restrooms, etc. Main objective is to see what is Buckingham will mean to FGCU in 5-10-15 years Estimated 6 million is needed to bring it up to standard for use Potable water Restroom facilities Parking New Business

Strategic Planning & Institutional Effectiveness Committee (SPIEC) – Represented by S. McLaughlin; Back-up: D. Odeh

• Update on FGCU Strategic Plan by Dr. Paul Snyder:

• Accepted but Trustees wanted more information so held a workshop, asking all the Deans to come discuss their strengths and weaknesses.

• Trustees also asked for The Dean of Graduate Studies and IT to come and present. IT was asked to update as to their readiness to handle increased online studies.

• Since no guidelines were given to the Deans ahead of time, a lot of information was presented including immediate, medium and long range goals.

• There was discussion regarding the Strategic Plan April/May approval with June implementation – this was not accepted.

• The Strategic Plan will be presented to the Board of Trustees for approval on February 23rd, incorporating the information gathered at the Dean’s workshop.

• Trustees want budget detail on everything going forward.

• Trustees want performance fund mechanism in The Strategic Plan. Dr. Snyder stated that no one is sure what that will look like. Steve Mageira and Dr. Ron Toll are looking in to this. He feels it

is important that the Deans have a voice on this.

• No other state university does internal performance funding. Assessment metrics have always been academic based, so no one is sure how to use metrics outside of that. Some Trustees feel that we need a Business Metrics to use in assessments.

• Concern was voiced over the fact that there are several Trustee vacancies and new Trustees will not be in place by the February meeting where the Strategic Plan will be presented. Not sure how this will play out with the change in Trustees.

• We will continue to do annual Strategic Planning, setting goals for next year and how they will be effectively implemented.

• It is Dr. Snyder’s opinion and that of the committee that the Strategic Plan must be approved by May due to the Focus on the Work Plan. It is felt that the Strategic Plan must be approved first.

Additional Information:

• The BOT Chair brought up the Mission Statement. Some faculty and student feedback was presented concerning the omission of the word “Practices” in regard to sustainability. That opened the door for other suggestions for verbiage changes.

• We will now be preparing a new Mission Statement with the suggested updates/changes included.
