Here are the notes from the Tuesday, June 21, 2016 division meeting:
- Brian welcomed Director of Athletics Ken Ralph to our meeting. Ken shared that Athletics is not only involved with varsity sports but also intramural sports, the fitness center operations, clubs sports, and casual recreational sports. He stated that the Athletics Division appreciates ITS:’s willingness to work with them, and he welcomes any new ideas we’d like to share that might enhance the student experience.
- Kudos were shared.
- Dan R. shared his report about Andrew. Liz volunteered to do the next interview. Thank you, Liz!
- Brian spoke about the ITS: reorganization. He stressed that no positions will be eliminated. He is reviewing feedback he has received from many in the ITS: Division, as well as others he has spoken with outside the division. He is also working to determine how the Fine Arts Center acquisition and the opening of the new library will impact us and how we need to be reorganized. Right now, smaller teams and professional/career development opportunities within the organization are all being considered to be part of the new organization. Brian will share details of the reorganization at the July 26 (2:00 pm in Gaylord Hall in the Worner Center) division meeting.
- Brian will be receiving everyone’s salary letters this week and will distribute them as quickly as possible. Update as of June 23 – Brian will not have the salary letters until the week of June 27.
- Update on open positions: the Database and System Administrator search committee will meet next week; Skype interviews for the Instructional Technologist Multimedia Lab Support will be on Wednesday, June 22; the Director of Frontline role is being reshaped in light of the reorganization; and the GIS Technical Director position closed on June 23.
- Matt provided an update on the Cornerstone computer labs. The Dean’s Office has provided funding for 34 new computers. The goal with these computers is to create accessibility and availability to all students, as well as support for the lab with the Instructional Technologist Multimedia Lab Support position. Brian thanked Weston, Matt, Tulio, and Gerald for their efforts to research and purchase these computers on short notice and short time to receive them on campus (prior to the change in fiscal year on July 1, 2016).
