Edwina Roseboro-Barnes called the meeting to order and welcomed Council members. 

 

Edwina Roseboro-Barnes reported on her meeting with Dr. Rutherford.  Dr. Rutherford approved all priority one and priority two proposals recommended by the Council  with the understanding that all 09/10 funding be tagged as pending, based on the current budget situation.  Once more information is known about the stimulus package and the 09/10 budget is approved, we will proceed in determining funding for projects  in the 09/10 cycle. 

 

Ms. Barnes asked that each representative meet individually with project requester and make certain the terms of approval were understood.  If part of the project falls into 08/09 and the other half in 09/10, the 09/10 funding of that project is pending and may or may not be approved pending budget status.  All of the 08/09 projects were approved.

 

Project Award Letters, Travel Authorization Forms were given to division deans and associate vice presidents to personally distribute to ONLY those whose projects were approved strictly in 08/09.

 

Edwina Roseboro-Barnes reminded members that the date for submission of internal course proposals is April 15th for summer cycle, July 15th for fall cycle, and November 15th for spring cycle. 

 

Edwina Roseboro-Barnes reminded the group that topics for the fall Master Plan for Professional Development needs to be determined; the federal stimulus package could delegate how the plan is developed.  This will be on the agenda at the next meeting of PDC.

 

The meeting adjourned at 2:30 p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,
