[For the record, Dr. Garner called to say she was unavailable at that time, Dr. Bell had carpool, Dr. Schroeder didn’t know the location, and Ms. Fletcher had an appointment.]   All members were notified of the tentative meeting in writing with HAND DELIVERED notices on Friday, January 21, 2000. 

 The meeting was called to order at 4:45 PM in the College of Business Administration Dean’s Conference Room.  The co-chairs, Professors Philbrick and Sajwan were the ONLY members in attendance.  Dean Sarhan also attended the meeting upon request of the co-chairs.

 Dr. Philbrick presented her compilation of the MUSTS that the committee needs to address plus drafts of letters to Professor Joan Maynor and the Deans of the 3 colleges on campus.  Those documents are attached.  Dr. Sarhan presented a draft of data that the College of Business Administration had compiled on faculty credentials and work assignments.  This table will be attached to the letters to the DEANS and Dr. Maynor as a sample format for them with Dean Sarhan’s permission.

 Since attendance was low, the co-chairs have decided to assign specific sections of the report to individual members.  Those assignments will be made during the week of January 31.  Dr. Sajwan agreed to HAND DELIVER the letter and packets to Dean Charlesworth Martin and Dean Otis Johnson.  Dr. Philbrick agreed to HAND DELIVER the packet and letters to Dr. Joan Maynor and Dean Mo Sarhan.  It is anticipated that the Deans and Director will obtain the needed information from their respective department chairs.  A deadline of March 1 was set.

 The need for a budget for Xeroxing materials etc. was discussed. 

 Possible division of labor was discussed by the co-chairs.    The meeting was adjourned at 6 PM.
