Minutes, LAUC Executive Board Meeting





                        December 2, 1994








Present: Jahns, Kanter, Cargille, Haynes, Colson, Starr, Prussing





Absent: Abrams





1. Minutes of the last Executive Board Meeting were approved.





2. The Treasurer reported a balance of $819.51





3. Announcements





     LAUC monthly lunches will start again in January.  Anne


Prussing will try to also schedule a farewell lunch for Tami


Weintraub.





4. CAPA document





     At the last LAUC-SD membership meeting, it was agreed that a


small committee would be formed to look at ways to streamline


peer review.  Colson distributed a suggested revision based on


the work of a committee consisting of the current CAPA plus two


former CAPA members (Cargille and Stewart).  The suggestion will


be discussed at the membership meeting on December 5, 1994.





5. Bylaws vote.





The proposed change in the bylaws to change the word


"chairperson" to "chair" and to create a standing Committee on


Cultural Diversity will be voted upon at the December 5, 1994


membership meeting.





6. Research and Professional Development Committee





Abrams will report briefly on the committee's work at the


membership meeting.  They had a 50% response rate to their survey


of possible use of R&PD funds and needs for programs.  The survey


responses still need to be discussed by the committee before


being distributed to the membership.





7. LAUC-SD Archives





Special Collections feels it is inappropriate for them to


continue to house the LAUC-SD archives because 1)they do not meet


the criteria for deposit of Archives in the UCSD Special


Collections, 2) they lack the resources to process them and 3)


their historical value is limited now that the LAUC History has


been published.





A committee will be formed to review the LAUC-SD Archives and


recommend guidelines for what should be kept, where it should be


housed, and what bylaws changes may be needed to clarify the


policies for the LAUC-SD Archives.  Committee members: Kanter,


Cargille, Starr, and, if possible, Westbrook.  Kanter will report


back on this topic as well from the Statewide Executive Board


meeting where Archives are on the agenda. 





9. Progress reports:





a. Pathways to LAUC - Kanter, Lucas and Prussing met to follow up


on the LAUC participation survey.  They are preparing a document


with information on LAUC-SD history, officers, responsibilities,


expectations for members, committee structures, value and benefit


of participation, and statewide officers and committees.  The


Vice Chair/Chair Elect will be charged to update this document


each year; all members will have a copy.  A draft will be given


to Executive Board members by Feb. 1, 1995.





b. LAUC Home Page





UCOP is now maintaining a statewide LAUC Gopher, with links to


gophers at the Division level.  LAUC-SD will therefore continue


to maintain local information on a gopher server, so that other


Divisions can access it, while at the same time maintainig a


LAUC-SD WWW home page on Infopath.  Kanter will ask Stave to


develop a process for routinely updating the LAUC-SD information.





10. LAUC-SD Committee minutes





After some discussion, it was agreed that it would be advisable


for two LAUC-SD committees, R&PD and Affirmative Action (Cultural


Diversity) to distribute summary minutes to the membership.  R&PD


already prepares minutes.  Affirmative Action will be asked to


prepare minutes or summaries, at their discretion.
