Minutes

1.  There were no corrections to the minutes of the April 13, 2000,
    meeting.

Announcements

1.  De Haan commented that the April 25 Luncheon went well.  There
    were 46 attendees.  The presentation by the faculty from the
    Department of Nursing was well-received and contained practical
    suggestions for assessment.  There was a good open discussion
    after the presentation.  The return rate for response forms
   (23 of 46) was considered to be satisfactory.  Chenoweth noted
    that the turnout was good and the message from nursing contained
    the three assessment questions ("What did you do", "What did you
    learn", and "What will you do differently").

Unfinished Business

1.  A visit in October by Susan Hatfield was discussed.  A motion to
    continue contact with Susan Hatfield over the summer (De Hann,
    Kuzel) received unanimous approval.

2.  A handout of the proposed revision of University Senate by-laws
    was distributed and discussed.

New Business

1.  There was a discussion of placing assessment information into
    3-ring binders for members of the committee and as an on-loan
    resource for reporting units.

2.  The election of new members was discussed.  Elections will
    presumably take place on schedules to be established by
    individual units having representation on this committee.

3.  A discussion on when to have UAC meeting in the fall took place
    with time being Noon on Mon. and Fri. or 300 Wed.  Discussion of
    meeting times will be continued over e-mail.

4.  Procedures for reviewing 1999-2000 Assessment Reports were
    discussed.  It was decided that one reviewer and Harrold will
    review each report.  Harrold will contact members over the summer
    to review reports as they are received.  De Hann suggested that
    for new members, another committee member could review reports
    with them until they are comfortable with the process.

5.  The luncheon series for fall was discussed.  Brad Strand will
    discuss his department assessment plan in September.
    Agricultural and Biological Engineering will be contacted about
    participating in the luncheon to be held in November.  Details
    will be discussed at meetings during the next academic year.

Meeting was adjourned at 3:35 p.m.
