  1. Committee Guide - we need a volunteer to update the college guide. The current guide is from 2007 and is available at this link.
    https://www.qcc.cuny.edu/governance/academicSenate/pubCom/docs/Guide-Com-Publications-4-30-07.pdf
    Part of the Guide includes our charges. I feel like we should consider modification of our charges (if that is possible) because the charges are super broad (as we have been discussing)

Charges:

The Committee Publications shall:
A. Recommend to the Academic Senate policies and procedures pertaining to College publications.
B. Receive information on all publications associated with the College or bearing the College name, and report this information to the Academic Senate.
C. Serve as an advisory group for publications associated with the College.
D. Serve as an editorial board for the Queensborough Community College Newsletter, Community Calendar, faculty handbooks, and other publications of this nature.

 

2. Revisions of the Faculty Handbook. Progress report from Phil and Aviva. Link for Aviva’s notes on the suggested revisions from Phil.
