\nFAEC reviewed current enrollment numbers as provided by VP Romano. First year deposits are below pre-pandemic numbers, but close to projections. Bills are due on August 1st, and so updated numbers after that date will be more informative. FAEC will also ask how Ramapo\u2019s enrollment trends compare with those of other comparable NJ institutions.<\/li>\n
\nDiscussions are ongoing with VP Romano about how best to collect and organize samples of undergraduate research and other outstanding student work for display at Family Day. The goal is to tell the story to prospective students\/parents that there are many<\/em> outlets for such work at Ramapo. It was suggested that video interviews with students about their research could be even more impactful.<\/li>\n
\nBoth positions remain open. Ken will continue to solicit volunteers.<\/li>\n
\nThe Google Calendar version of the FA Meeting Calendar is faec.ramapo@gmail.com. This version will be updated more frequently and will include a few more all College events. FAEC will remind faculty of this option at an upcoming Unit Council.<\/li>\n
\nThe following faculty have agreed to serve as FA representatives for AY 2022-23.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\nKatie reported as liaison to the Presidential Inauguration Committee. The event will take place at 2pm on Friday, October 14, 2022. Faculty are encouraged to participate and will receive a form by email for RSVP and request for regalia. Concerns were raised about faculty who may wish to attend but cannot due to their teaching schedule.<\/li>\n
\nProvost Gaulden is following up on an idea that arose in part from last semester\u2019s Faculty Forum on Community Building, which is to establish and curate a lecture series in which Ramapo faculty give short presentations on their research. FAEC discussed ideas for making the program as successful as possible and will continue to collaborate with the Provost\u2019s Office on this project.<\/li>\n
\nProvost Gaulden has proposed a jointly charged, faculty-driven task force that would work to develop an Academic Master Plan. For context, FAEC reviewed the final reports from the Task Force on Shared Governance (TFSG, F\u201917) and the Task Force on Academic Excellence and Engagement (TFAEE, S\u201915). General discussion surrounding possible charge, membership, timeline, etc. followed. Concerns were raised regarding the timeline and whether the task force should be delayed until after the new provost search is completed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
