The April 20 minutes were approved, and the April 27 minutes were approved with minor revisions. II. The Committee briefly revisited its discussion regarding internships. The Chair reported that the variable-credit internships CEPP approved at the prior meeting were well received. III. The Committee reviewed and endorsed the Assessment Steering Committees revised Learning Goals document. The most recent version includes a preamble that reflects the distinctiveness of a Skidmore education, and it ties the goals to the Colleges past, essentially noting that weve been doing this, in the words of the Chair. The primary audiences for the document that the Committee approved are expected to be internal. At the same time, CEPP was made to understand that the document will be public. IV. The Chair asked the Committee to consider the possible shape of the process for discussing the acceptance of transfer credit for on-line courses, and CEPP agreed that a faculty forum would be an appropriate vehicle for enlarging the conversation around this subject. The Chair also noted that the IRC has asked CEPP to consider creating a joint working group to explore the issue of Skidmore on-line courses. V. The Chair reported that he is working on the CEPP Annual Report and that a draft of it will be shared with Committee members for our review. VI. The Committee discussed the VPAAs revised budget update, which the VPAA noted she sees as important both for ensuring transparency and for framing discussions and decisions now and in the future. A primary goal is saving faculty positions. Timing is a key issue: How quickly can the institution move to realize approximately $1 million in savings in Academic Affairs FY 2010-2011 budget? Decisions will have to be reached by February 2010. The meeting was adjourned at 10:25.
