Call to order The meeting was called to order at 3:17 p.m. II. Announcements There were no announcements. III.

Reports from Administrators A. President Glasser: President Glasser said that she would talk briefly about financial issues. She said that she has asked Gary Anna to provided a more detailed update of the University s financial situation in the wake of the global economic situation at November meeting of the university senate. The President discussed the enrollment situation, based on the third week reports. The third week reports are still below expectations, with 1,032 new first-year students, and 287 transfer students. As concerns issues that pertain to the recent market downturn, President Glasser mentioned that she is holding regular and serious cabinet meetings to monitor developments. She stated that the university will look for selective and prudent ways to start prioritizing what we, institutionally, can afford in the coming year. She reiterated that this was not a forecast for gloom and doom, but merely that we will most likely have to tighten our belts a bit. It is possible that there are some things we may not be able to afford next year and that must be put on hold. She reiterated that fundraising efforts are still going full-steam ahead and that she is encouraged that we will meet $150 million goal. She mentioned that she is committed to maintaining salaries and benefits given that people come first and that to the extent that we can do maintain these, we ll continue to do it. Gary Anna will have a more thorough report on the university s financial situation in November; he will be reporting to the trustees about this issue next week. On a brighter note, the Markin Center will open officially Thursday October 23 rd. David Markin will be here. Finally, tonight, the annual emeriti dinner will take place. There were no questions afterwards.

Computer Science CS has submitted a major renumbering of their courses in order to be consistent with the numbering scheme recommended by their accrediting agency. Most of these courses involve slight changes in names and descriptions and changes in prerequisite numbers because of the courses being renumbered. The 5 courses that are new courses are listed below with title, description, and prerequisites. Course Additions Course # Title Description Prereq CS101 Intro to Programming 4 hrs CS140 Programming in C hour Introduces the fundamental concepts of programming from an object-oriented perspective. Topics include simple data types, control structures, introduction of array and string data structures, algorithms, debugging and testing techniques, and social implications of computing. The course emphasizes good software engineering principles and practices, breaking the programming process into analysis, design, implementation, and testing, with primary focus on implementation and development of fundamental programming skills. Introduction to C++ programming for students who are knowledgeable in an object-oriented language (most likely Java) MTH109 or MTH112 CS102 CS480 Social and Professional Issues 2 hrs Introduction to the social and professional issues and practices that arise in the context of computing CS210 CS 563 Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining 3 hours Brings together the latest research in statistics, databases, machine learning, and artificial intelligence that are part of the rapidly growing field of knowledge discovery and data mining. Topics covered include fundamental issues, classification and clustering, machine learning algorithms, trend and deviation analysis, dependency modeling, integrated discovery systems, next generation database systems, data warehousing and OLAP and application case studies. CS210; one course in statistics CS 593 Software Engineering of Web-Based Applications 3hours Software engineering of Web-based applications: Web-engineering; formulation and planning of Web-based applications; analysis modeling; design modeling for Web-based applications; testing Web-based applications; implementation and maintenance of Web-based applications.
