The Committee again revised the proposal criteria, application forms
and guidelines. In addition they revised the evaluation form to more
clearly rate the proposals. The Committee also coordinated their
proposal call with the Research Committee and prepared a yearly
calendar of activities.

Citation of Resolution Numbers:
None
Business to be Carried Over to Next Year:

Continue to review the proposal materials, especially the evaluation
forms. See XI below for suggestions.

Committee Evaluation:
All Categories Satisfactory

Suggestions for Improving Committee Effectiveness:

Continue to send one call per year (October) for Summer 1987 and
1987-88 academic year. Send recommendations for all proposals to the
Vice Chancellor by March 1, 1987. Send a letter to the author of the
proposal regarding the Committee's recommendation.

In addition, the Committee recommends that the following ideas be
considered:

1. Blind reading of proposals

2. Revise guidelines to more clearly distinguish between summer
and academic year proposals

Prepare a different evaluation device for summer proposals
