I. Minutes of May 3, 2000 have been sent to Faculty Senate.

II. Reports

A. No reports given at the first meeting.

III. Business

A. Brief introduction of new council members and Chair David Beard.

B. The FPPC agreed to meet the first and third Wednesdays at 3 pm. The next

meeting date will be September 6, 2000.

C. The remainder of the meeting focused on a direction to go in changing the

existing SBOE-mandated Post Tenure Review (PTR).

1. Hatzenbuehler mentioned that current PTR policy was not up to

affect standard per report by Ann Oakes; too many changes to PTR policy

could affect faculty negatively. How do we change the PTR policy to

Northwest Association of School and Colleges (NASC) standards while

having a positive, not negative effect on Faculty?

2. Laquer brought to attention that many senior faculty were told to focus on

teaching and not research. How would the modified PTR affect this?

3. FPPC would like to reach a consensus on how PTR policy could change such

that more faculty are noticed for hard work while still following the standards

that NASC requires for accreditation.

4. Suggestion was made to initially work on a minimalist approach to comply

with Northwest as a modification of the current state-mandated annual

review.

5. Development of initial wording for these issues was assigned to the

following

members:

a. David Beard, Chair will write on 'substantive'.

b. Grace Jacobson will write on "peer".

c. H. Turner Laquer will gather information on ISU current policy on PTR.
