    meeting.

Announcements:

    of his cabinet to discuss assessment of units in Student Affairs.

2.  There are about 20 assessment reports that need to be reviewed.
    Volunteers were requested and an adequate number of reviewers 
    offered their services.

3.  Copies of the Classroom Assessment and Techniques, by Angelo and
    Cross, will be distributed at the Luncheons.  Each Department will
    receive a copy to be used when planning department assessment
    activities.

4.  Susan Hatfield is reserving time for NDSU from October 9th until
    October 26th.

Reports: 

1.  Kostecki discussed the luncheon which will be held on March 23rd.

New Business

1.  The letter informing Dean's of the March 23rd  luncheon was 
    discussed.  It was decided that the letter should go initially to
    Deans, then Chairs, and then to individul faculty.  An electronic 
    version with a reply back to Bonnie's e-mail will be sent, to be 
    followed by a paper copy.   E-mail addresses for program leaders 
    in Student Affairs will come from Jane Cumber.  Linda Gill's e-mail
    list of chairs will be used for Academic Affairs administrators.

2.  An announcement of  Dr. Wresch's visit including an invitation to 
    the luncheon was sent to  "It's Happening at State" on 3/2/00 for
    publication in the March 8th, 2000, issue.  The message will be 
    printed again in the March 15th issue.  Information about this 
    luncheon will be distributed early because spring break is 
    scheduled for the week before this luncheon. 

3.  The visit to campus by William Wresch was discussed.  Harrold has
    tentatively reserved the Group Decision Center for the morning of
    Tuesday, April 11th (9-11) for William Wresch to meeting with the
    General Education Committee.  If the morning doesn't work the 
    afternoon of Monday, April 10th would be the second choice.

Unfinished Business.

1.  Guidelines for Departmental Assessment Reports were discussed.
    The revised copy of these guidelines will be discussed at the next 
    meeting.

2.  It was discussed whether there should be an outside speaker for
    assessment at Faculty Development Days.  It was decided that this
    would not be a good time since most  faculty are getting involved
    in other meetings before the start of the new school year.

Meeting was adjourned at 3:45.

Recorder: Bonnie Erickson

Note: There will be no meeting on March 16, 2000 because of spring break.

Next meeting: Thursday, March 30, 2000 in the Memorial Union, Badlands Room
(#365).
