Presentation on new Board Packet process; Neely will be sending out email to those who receive to ask how we want our packet; 2 options-- #1 – all white, 2 sheets/page & back-to-back; #2 on U drive & can print whatever you need.  This will save work for many. 

New application coming (2 wks)  so we will be able to search Board Packets from website using keywords, meeting date or type. Eventually all Agendas  & Minutes from the beginning of the college will be searchable.

Questions & discussion where to find and then a lengthy discussion was held concerning the employee portal.

Question was posed concerning the Online Class Schedule & the numbers of students enrolled – will this issue be revisited (having #’s for faculty).  D. Berliner indicated that when we have clientless VPN, we will be able to have two versions, one with numbers & one without.  It was pointed out that students also asked to see the numbers.

T. Ryan – indicated we are now in a hiring freeze for benefited positions.  The issue will be discussed at Leadership Council today.  Cabinet will review, because the is predicated on attrition, and we will need to monitor so that the right positions are eliminated.  Much discussion ensued.
