Staff Senate Minutes
November 12, 2003
The Staff Senate met on November 12, 2003. Those members in attendance were Vera Camp, Kathy Cole, Charles Honza, Keli Honza, Robert Jones, Essie Moore, Kellye Ogle, Beth Scroggins, Cledis Stuart, Houston Taylor, Sarajane Telford, Mark Trout, Peggy Walters, and David Wingfield.
President Keli Honza called the meeting to order. Minutes were approved as written with a recommendation for acceptance from Charles Honza, and a second by Peggy Walters.
The “Staff Survey” was then edited. Changes were made to several paragraphs, questions were deleted, etc. After much discussion the changes were approved and the survey was sent out one more time for approval from the staff. The Survey itself has been sent out and we are anxiously awaiting the responses.
Wilma Williams, Kathy Cole, Charles Honza and Keli Honza will serve on the committee to make changes to the CLIP Program. They will meet in the near future to make changes, recommendations, and will then give these recommendations to Mr. Giles.
Dan Dykema, President of the Faculty Senate, said that Staff could have representation on all university committees. He will provide President Honza with a list of all the committees so that we can make future plans can be made for staff representation.
Charles Honza had a question concerning leave time and mandatory leave time. We have to take mandatory leave time on January 2. Since next year is a leap year… so, couldn’t we count that day for this year and not have to take the 2nd as mandatory leave? Peggy Walters moved that the question be sent to Dr. Rankin who will make a decision concerning this matter. Keli will attend the next President’s Council.
Our next meeting will be on December 9th.
No further business…. Cledis Stuart made a motion to adjourn…. Houston Taylor seconded.
With that, President Honza adjourned the meeting.
