ScholarshipFunds

President Waite reported that the CTC Faculty Senate Competency Based Endowed Scholarship for $8,500 has been established.
Walkway Project: No Report.
Usage of the Old Gym: Neither the administration nor Board of Directors has made a decision regarding the usage of the old gym. A letter was sent to the Chancellor stating the Faculty Senate recommends academic or instructional usage. The response is pending.

New Business:
CTC Faculty Directory: Copies of the last Faculty Directory, printed in 1995, remain in storage. Discussion included updating the hard copy since the pages are in a ring notebook or placing the directory on the web site. For lack of a motion, the issue was tabled.
Documents: Due to lack of storage space, the group consented to keeping nonessential documents for one year. Audits and other essential and historical documents will be kept with the designated officer or placed in the Faculty Senate historical files in the Library.
Prioritization of Brainstorming Issues: Members discussed prioritizing the issues as presented earlier and focusing on the top three. The Faculty Affairs Committee was tasked with prioritization of these issues. Jan Anderson and Committee were honored with a round of applause for their work in putting this information together and Suzanne Morales was thanked for her "fire that keeps on burning".
Faculty Senate T-Shirts: A member requested that we order CTC Faculty Senate T-Shirts. Lisa McQueen will be asked to investigate this issue.
