mail to all PIP users or College Community.

4. Paul reviewed with PBIE committee the "Very Rough Draft of PBIE Policies and
Procedures" submitted by Alex Jakubowski, Max Schaefer, and Cynthia Richichi. (Max
Schaefer has resigned from PBIE committee.) Through discussion changes were made to
the Policies and Procedure Draft. Language needs to be cleaned up by end of semester.
The sub committee will receive changes through e-mail to update the manual.

5. Discussion on the Progress Report for Prior year PIP cycle: Since last assessment are
there changes in the initiative? Are there any future steps to your original initiative if so
How? For initiatives that have not been funded include status and have there been
alternative sources or solutions?"
Discussion took place on how to request Faculty Staffing replacements in PIP.
Replacements and new Faculty should not be bundled as one. Wendy Holmes and Roz
Smith keep scorecards on vacant positions and who is the new replacement. New
positions are approved by cabinet outside of PBIE. Communication of new hires should
flow from Cabinet to PBIE. Due to funding shortages, if adjuncts are not hired cut backs
would take place.

Paul Basinski reached out to committee for his Co-chair replacement for next cycle.

Meeting adjourned by Paul Basinski.

Respectfully submitted,

Cynthia Richichi
