Thanks for all of your help in getting this done. I'll post the final version on the webpage so you can refer people to it. ________________________ Here's a forward pointer to an important thing that's at the bottom of this message: we will meet at NOON ON THE LAST THURSDAY OF THE MONTH next year (Aug 27, Sep 24, Oct 29, Nov 19, Dec 10th, Jan 28th, Feb 25th, Mar 18th, and Apr 29). Please put these dates on your calendar now. ________________________ Note: THIS HAS BEEN CHANGED...to the last monday of each month at 3pm (Aug 31 Sep 28 Oct 26 Nov 16 Dec 7 Jan 25 Feb 22 Mar 29 Apr 26) The meeting began with an executive session in which the committee discussed the track meets that will take place this weekend at CU and Stanford. We agreed to approve participation by student-athletes who are in good standing and/or who have worked out accomodations with their professors. We also agreed that some sort of written notice/MOU would be a good idea for the future, and we added some words about this to the fourth bullet of the motion. (These were offered as an amendment from the floor of the BFA meeting by Martha, since the motion had already been "noticed.") That discussion extended into the main part of the meeting, and was followed by several shorter items: - The scholarship appeals committee [Liz & Julie will work on over the summer] - Laying the groundwork for the club-sports equivalent of this motion [Liz will also work on over the summer] - The D1A FARs' statement on the football postseason [we decided that there was nothing we wanted to do with this right now, but that we should keep it in our minds] - Feedback to the Big 12 on coaching & non-coaching personnel limitations [we sent our strong (but not unmixed) sentiments with David that this was a problem, but probably unenforceable] - Ted reported on his trip to the COIA meeting. The Big 12 is still, despite Uriel's efforts, under-represented there. Other than that, we're still ahead of the curve. - We then talked about whether or not we SHOULD belong to COIA. With one dissenting voice (who was worried about potential mischief) and one eloquent counterpoint (that we should be there to subvert any such mischief), we agreed that we should remain members. - I then summarized what we've done this year: scheduling conflicts & associated issues: track, UWV thurs night game, Big 12 golf. Football's 'game day' procedure (which occupies two or more days). Summer bridge program. COIA & COIA & COIA, including writing of charges and consideration of membership of other committees (BAB, appeals, etc.). Various bits of NCAA legislation. Lots of time on the class absence policy, including club sports. A bit about priority registration. Women/minority issues at the academic/athletic interface, which we then took to a joint discussion with the BAB, and which may feed into the upcoming NCAA certification. Class & major choice + APR briefing from Dave. Compliance briefing from Julie, which targeted the schol appeals committee business but revealed some serious issues this will likely occupy us for a chunk of next year. What fell off the stack: the IAC/BAB hosted 'town meeting' that Mike suggested. - We discussed agenda items for next year, which mostly consist of the ongoing-type things from the previous list (conflicts, sending someone to COIA & keeping an eye on what they're doing, club sports, the various briefings, and the appeals committee. Barbara pointed out that NCAA certification is going to grow on our agenda's horizon over the next few years. We also agreed to set aside five minutes at each meeting in case Mike Bohn needs to bring a problem to our attention. - Finally, we discussed meeting times for next year. Miraculously, there are three one-hour slots that work for everyone: Mon/3pm, Thu/11am, and Thu/noon. So we'll meet on the last monday of each month at 3pm (Aug 31 Sep 28 Oct 26 Nov 16 Dec 7 Jan 25 Feb 22 Mar 29 Apr 26). As always, please let me know if my memory has failed in any way. Have a good summer, Liz p.s. CEAL: we're going to need SA members. Can Kathleen continue?
