A brief statement of committee organization, subcommittees, research

Sub-committees were appointed as needed and reported to the committee.

List of committee accomplishments including recommendations made to
agencies other than the Faculty Senate.

The committee adopted the project of publishing career profiles from
each wit within the University. The recommendation for approval and
funding of this project was made to Vice Chancellor Maier who brought
it up for discussion at the Chancellor's meeting. Communications with
Vice Chancellor Meyer indicated that funds would be made available for
publication of the document.

 
A format for career profiles was developed and distributed to each
unit head with the request that profiles be developed for each program
within that unit. Approximately seventy profiles were returned and. -. i
checked for style and/or edited by committee members. At the present
time, there is a need to contact unit heads who did not return profiles,
assemble the profiles in the order in which they are to be printed,
obtain a firm estimate of printing cost, publish the document and
prepare it for distribution.

Citation of the resolution numbers of recommendations that originated
with the committee. None

Proposals and/or business to be carried over to next year.

The items indicated in VII above need to be completed, but there
are plans to complete them during the summer of 1981. Business that
needs to be done next year includes the distribution of career profiles
and the development of a procedure to annually up-date profiles as
they become out-of-date.

Evaluation of the committee.

A. Structure: Satisfactory

B.. Duties: The charge of the committee is so broad that it was
difficult to define the work of the committee. The
charge seems to indicate responsibility and/or
authority that conflicts with that of Deans and
Department Chairperons.

C. Function: The committee functioned well after a major task had
been identified.

D. Personnel: Superior. Participation by the student member could
have improved the function of the committee.

Suggestions for improving the effectiveness of the committee.

A clarification in the charge of the committee where the duties
and responsibilities of the committee seem to conflict with administrative
responsibility needs to be made.
