III. CAS Deans Report (N. Squires)
- Dr. Squires is the interim Dean for the CAS.

IV. PTC Report (G. Matthews)
- The Committee met regularly during 2008-2009 academic year.

- From 9/08-9/09 the PTC acted on 32 cases.
- PTC continues to consider the move to the use of electronic dossiers.
- Since spring 2006 the PTC has been discussing whether Library files could be evaluated through the A&S PTC. In October 2008, the librarians voted to stay with their own PTC. The A&S PTC will not act on Library files.

V. President’s Report (A. De Chambeau)

- There was a suggestion that we should get questions together and present them right away since there is some urgency in this project.
- Dr. Gootenberg proposed that we convey out concerns directly to the new President. Perhaps form an Ad Hoc Committee to form questions for the President.
- Dr. Kuchner suggested that we pull representatives from each standing committee that have the history so that you have people who can address these individual concerns.
- We should contact the other “core” universities to see if they have had problems or if indeed their faculty have been informed about Songdo.
- Speak to Provost first about consultation on this project. Perhaps a letter from the two Senate Presidents.
