In April the Committee identified three potential recipients of Summer
Grants, as instructed by Senate Chair Ayers.

Committee Organization: On all matters, including funding awards, committee
acts traditionally, i.e., each member functions individually with one vote,
and is responsible for reading and evaluating proposals.

The Committee recommended eighteen proposals for funding by the Vice
Chancellor, of thirty-four proposals submitted by faculty during Fall
semester 1982.

 
Committee accomplishments (continued) Se

Prior to and after proposal review, the Committee drew up the grant
proposal criteria, application form, and guidelines.

The Committee also submitted to the Committee for Teaching Effectivenes
an analysis of faculty needs (as evinced by funding proposals).

VIII. None.

IX. The Committee needs to finally approve the (second) revision of the
application form and format, guidelines and criteria statement.

Sand XI. Two recommendations, one already under consideration by the Faculty
Senate, would enhance committee effectiveness: First, reduce the
quorum required from nine to eight. Second, separate funds of this
committee from the annual expenses of the Student Opinion Sruvey and
from the Committee for Teaching Effectiveness.
