Mosbo explained the procedure for submission of Extra Income Statements and Financial Disclosure Forms:

•Extra Income Statements must be completed by any UCA employee who earns $500 or more over and above their regular salary. This includes income from such services as UCA at Night, grading guided study work, working as a consultant at another state agency, etc. Summer contracts for 9-month faculty are excluded.

Mosbo asked Buchanan to explain the process for existing program review. The department submits the self-study to the dean, the dean submits to the assessment officer (Jonathan Glenn), and then the self-study is sent to the Graduate or Undergraduate Council. At each step, suggestions may be made to the department for improvement of the document.

Mosbo requested the deans to reserve several dates for promotion and tenure deliberations.

Mosbo asked the deans to consider the topic of fees for overloads. Following discussion, Buchanan moved to recommend that a policy be adopted to require additional fees for undergraduate students electing to enroll in 19 or more hours. McNiece seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
