A. EMERITUS POLICY: Faculty Senate approved the revised Emeritus Policy submitted by the FPPC last year. The policy has been sent to Dr. Lawson and presented to Deans Council for discussion September 1999. The policy was recommended by Dr. Lawson and forwarded to President Bowen October 1999.

B. DATING POLICY: Faculty Senate approved the Dating Policy recommended by the FPPC last year. The policy was sent to Dr. Lawson and presented to Deans Council. The policy underwent extensive discussion at several meetings. Changes in wording were recommended by the Deans Council and taken back to FS.

The chair of FS and Dr. Hatzenbuehler (FPPC member and Deans Council member) are standing members of Deans Council also represented the policy.

The FPPC chair brought back the suggested revisions to the policy to inform the FPPC of the changes. Discussion followed regarding the procedures for forwarding and approving policies. The chair will inquire with FS regarding this issue and this will be addressed in the FPPC Review (see #4).

C. SECRETARIAL SUPPORT: Last years request from the FPPC Chair for secretarial support was taken by the FS Chair to Deans Council. Although the FS and Deans Council consider the request important, no secretarial support for this council was provided for the 1999-2000 academic year. The FS will be putting in a budget request for secretarial support starting fall 2000. The FPPC must select our own secretary.
