LAUC Executive Board


Minutes


October 11, 1996


Special Collections Meeting Room; 10-11:30am





Present: L. Claassen (chair), L. Abrams, T. Dearie, V. Steele, K.


Whitley (recorder)


Absent: R. Gustafson





1)   Lynda announced statewide LAUC Fall Assembly -- November 7,8 -- in


Berkeley.  Lynda, Ginny and Ruth must attend.  Other LAUC board members


may attend if they wish.





2)   LAUC membership





Phyllis Mirsky and Mary Horres are now in MAP series and cannot be


official LAUC members.      After some discussion it was agreed to


remove their names from membership list (for voting     privileges,


etc.), but retain their names on the LAUC cc:Mail list.





It was clarified that the R&PD chair may attend Executive Board meetings


as needed.





Membership contributions notices will be sent out soon.





Julie Sih was representative to statewide publication "New Horizons..." 


Lynda will ask for a volunteer to replace her.   [Craig Haynes is our


new rep.]





Ginny Steel volunteered to be the LAUC buddy for the new BML librarian,


and Kathy will send  Ginny a new members packet for Ginny to discuss


with her.





3)   CAPA





a)   "Participation" Language change


Tammy pointed out that the CAPA review guidelines language had been


revised (by Julie           Sih, et al.), moving participation in LAUC


committees from to Part A from Part C.  LAUC           membership


approved the wording.  Jackie will be taking this version to the


Academic           Affairs Committee and the union for their review and


final endorsement. Library Personnel           Office will have paper


copies and will also post to the Web site.





b)   UL letters from previous reviews


Ginny brought up question of whether the UL letters covering previous


reviews should go with the current packet to department heads, since


issues may have been raised in these letters that should be addressed in


the current review.   Tammy will clarify with Jackie.





c)   PERT language


Both this year's and last year's CAPA have looked at the language


Richard drafted for inclusion in the guidelines, and feel the membership


should look at it. 


ACTION: Tammy will propose the suggested wording in LAUC meeting for


approval by membership.





d)   Accelerated promotions


During the last CAPA review period questions arose about what should


constitute appropriate guidelines for "accelerated" promotions.  There


were several documents requesting  accelerated advancement in the last


review, but each was so different it was difficult to come up with


general guidelines.  Kari has drafted an initial document.  The question


arose about whether people are taking on more work related to having


fewer staff or is the overall level of expected activity risen.


ACTION: Decision was to put on LAUC agenda for membership to discuss and


try to come up with a final white paper of guidelines.  CAPA will also


have a discussion with the UL and AULs along these lines.





4)   New Business





a)   The topic of the implications of the PPD for librarians will be put


on the LAUC meeting agenda for discussion.





Adjourned at 11:30am
