Date<\/b>: Wednesday, Feb \u00a06, 2019 | <\/span>Location<\/b>: A220 \u00a0| <\/span>Time<\/b>: 10:30 am to 12:00 pm<\/span><\/p>\n Attendees<\/b>: Kathryn Zeno, Tae Kwak, Donna Flynn, Sam Mustafa, Kathy Zeno, Renata Gangemi, Christina Connor, Hugh Sheehy, Eva Ogens, Catalin Martin<\/span><\/p>\n Secretary<\/b>: Nakia Matthias<\/span><\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————–<\/span><\/p>\n Several faculty have not received the laminated yellow \u2018Hostile intruder\/lockdown situations quick reference card\u2019 that was composed by Public Safety to inform the faculty of the recommended safety procedures for campus emergencies relative to such hostile intruder and lockdown situations. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Furthermore, the document makes suggestions that some faculty and staff will not be able to follow due to the absence of window coverings [blinds or shades] at classroom doors. [Item #2: CLOSE THE SHADE\/BLINDS ON THE DOOR AND WINDOWS TO DARKEN THE ROOM.]<\/span><\/p>\n In order to follow the recommendations accordingly the necessary materials\/apparatus should be installed in classrooms. \u00a0This matter should be addressed to ensure that the safety procedures can be followed in the best interest of the campus community.<\/span><\/p>\n The proposed Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is a clinical doctorate program proposed by the Adler Center for Nursing Excellence. The program will undergo several review processes before it is approved. \u00a0FAEC acknowledges that the faculty would like to have the opportunity to discuss and learn more about the DNP offering. Although, ARC, the BoT, the provost, and respective offices in Trenton must review and approve the DNP program this process does not have occur in sequence. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The FA scheduled for March 13, 2019 presents an opportunity for faculty to discuss and vote on the proposed DNP program. \u00a0The April 3, 2019 FA would likely be very late for this discussion and the progression of the review process. One of the issue to be addressed is the DNP\u2019s classification as a clinical rather than research doctorate. \u00a0Upon approval the DNP program would be entered into catalog beyond 2019.A request will be made to ARC Chair, Jacquelin Braun to circulate information about the DNP program among the faculty prior to the next FA.<\/span><\/p>\n Three simultaneous panels scheduled for Faculty Development Day. FAEC encourages faculty to attend the events scheduled for Faculty Development Day. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Six hundred grades were outstanding and not submitted by the due date. Most late submissions were made by adjunct professors. \u00a0FAEC suggested better communication with and support of adjuncts to ensure they are meeting the deadlines final grade submission deadlines. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n FAEC discussed the procedure whereby tenured faculty submit requests for career development every five-years. It was noted that there is no real standard for selecting how career development committees are formed nor a clear understanding of how the provision of career development resources are determined. \u00a0Thus, when requests for career development are honored it is at the discretion of the committee\u2019s members. Furthermore, there is no follow-up in the process to assess whether resources have been used for their intended purpose. The process was once suspended when faculty contracts lapsed but has since been reinstated. \u00a0Some faculty are not informed when they must submit packets for career development. The process is viewed as a means to encourage professional and academic development but bears no gatekeeping function. The career development process is distinct from faculty development.<\/span><\/p>\n President Mercer invited <\/span>New Jersey Secretary of Higher Education, <\/span>Dr. Zakiya Ellis-Smith to attend the Economic Education Forum where she discussed the connection between employment and education with an accent on experiential learning; making community college free as a priority of her office; advancing all forms of post-secondary education; as well as the state budget and funding formula. <\/span><\/p>\n Faculty Assembly Executive Council [FAEC] Meeting Minutes Date: Wednesday, Feb \u00a06, 2019 | Location: A220 \u00a0| Time: 10:30 am to 12:00 pm Attendees: Kathryn Zeno, Tae Kwak, Donna Flynn, Sam Mustafa, Kathy Zeno, Renata Gangemi, Christina Connor, Hugh Sheehy, Eva Ogens, Catalin Martin Secretary: Nakia Matthias ——————————————————————————————————————————– 1.\u00a0 FAEC Minutes Approved 2.
