The meeting was called to order and nominations were taken for the Chair of the committee.  Some discussion occurred noting the chair’s responsibility this year as we are undergoing NCAA review.  David Young was nominated and seconded and was elected by unanimous vote, with the proviso that Matt Newman serve as recording secretary for all future minutes. Matt generously agreed.

 

The Chair introduced discussion of the need to increase the composition of the committee by two faculty members and the need to make one of the administrative representatives non-voting. After some discussion Mark Pope suggested that the A.D. position be non-voting as it carries considerable administrative weight.  The question was called and the motion carried to increase the faculty representation by two and eliminate voting status of the Athletic Director.  The vote was 7 in favor and one against.

 

Discussion of the need to review spring sport schedules took place. The upcoming review was also discussed.  Meeting times were reviewed and it appeared that the Monday or Friday noon time seemed best.  It may be possible to hold electronic meetings on some issues. 

 

The meeting adjourned a bit later than expected.  I want to thank everyone for attending.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

David Young
