The meeting began at 10:15 AM with approval of the minutes of November 1.

The Committee discussed five requests for partial transfers of faculty lines to Gender Studies, as a result of which these faculty members will have joint appointments in their home units and Gender Studies. Because these requests must conform to the Policy on the Joint Appointment of College Faculty in Multiple Instructional Units, approved on May 24, 2002, the Committee decided to ask that the faculty and units involved in these transfer requests draw up and sign Memoranda of Agreement. These Memoranda will cover the various points listed in that Policy.

Associate Dean Michael McGerr then joined the meeting. He agreed to pass on our request for Memoranda of Agreement to the faculty members and units involved. He also suggested that the Committee clarify the relationship between the 1997 Policy for Faculty Initiated Transfer of FTE and the 2002 Policy on Joint Appointments. We agreed to do so.

The meeting concluded at 11 AM.
