The committee discussed issues regarding phased retirement rates, the time frame for making decisions regarding financial considerations, budget cuts, and potential college-wide reductions. The guiding question for the committee is: How does the College deliver the best education for students in constrained circumstances? Discussion ensued regarding which constituencies on campus should be part of this discussion, what departments and offices have grown the most over the past decade, and how best to allocate diminished resources. Muriel Poston, Dean of Faculty, discussed strategies for future faculty hires. Jeff Segrave, Dean of Special Programs, reported on how his office is seeking new ways to generate revenue, including summer programs and the potential benefits of a three-year degree. CEPP was joined by members of the Assessment Steering Committee. Those present included: Sarah Goodwin, Beau Breslin, Michael Ennis-McMillan, Mike Profita, Jim Chansky, Sue Layden, Lisa Christenson, Claire Solomon, Erica Bastress-Dukehart Discussion ensued regarding the ASCs draft of its Student Learning Goals. Members of CEPP had questions and voiced some reservations about the purpose and audience for the document. Questions arose regarding whether there will be another document that will unpack these learning goals, how does this document represent Skidmore as a unique college, and whether the ASC envisions the Student Learning Goals to be a bridge between the Strategic Plan and assessment. Members of the ASC asked for CEPPs endorsement of the Student Learning Goals document. CEPP will take up this matter at its next meeting. Meeting was adjourned at 10:00 AM.
