Brown Bag Discussions: Trisha Burns and Steve Doolittle presented their progress with the Brown Bag Sessions. The top five choices of subjects to explore in depth arising from the HUG event were finalized. It was tentatively decided to have monthly sessions at staggered times, perhaps sessions offered twice to ensure all attend; will have a professional development focus (such as certification); faculty to be used as resources; new name created. A Mission Program is being development by HR already, so issues following under GU’s mission will be addressed separately-broadly and in depth as that was a major area of confusion in both faculty and staff concerns. October is the projected presentation date. In September, Employee Relation/Communication issues will be presented; November: Direction of GU (goals/development/growth); sessions will not be presented in December. Other areas of interest to employees will be addressed using other methods such as email or flyer handouts--e.g. concerning such as questions regarding computer technology, and campus resources. Discussion ensued with people presenting ideas on how best to accomplish this.
University Budget Committee: Update at next week’s meeting.
