Lahaina Education Center Lease

Renovation work is going on.  We have asked Bill Dornbush for an additional 1200sq. ft. that he has agreed to provide.  The agreement is going to be amended to encompass a larger portion of the building.  From October 2004 to October 2005 the facility will be rent-free.  From October 1, 2005 and forward we will pay $1200 per month for a 3000sq foot building which is about 50 cents per sq.

Program Review Status

Suzette Robinson reported receiving 14 out of the 21 expected program reviews.  The three comprehensive reviews for OCET, Nursing and Accounting have been received.  Suzette has spoken to those in charge of the reviews that have not come in and they are in progress and should be sending them in within a few days.  Annual assessments and comprehensive program reviews were distributed.  The self-study piece has been approved and is in operation with the program chairs creating their reports.  Drafts of the proposed process for the Program Review Validation Teams were distributed.  The Academic Senate will be looking at these drafts and making recommendations for change if necessary.  The documents will be placed on the web when approved.

 

Diane Meyer added that a program coordinators meeting will be held on October 14, 2004 @ 3:00pm to form the teams and make sure that everyone is on the same page.

 

Major Gifts

DHS Contracts

Western Undergraduate Exchange

Clyde reported that this program permits Hawaii students to enroll in Colleges that are participating at a tuition level of one and a half times what the local tuition may be.  These are areas which the University of Hawaii does not provide curricular program alternatives.  Clyde suggested committee members review and bring back ideas to the next Executive Committee meeting.

 

Writers Conference

Conversations are going on how a writing curriculum could be developed that takes advantage of the Writers Conference Workshops.  Workshops are online; there’s that kind of potential.

International Small Island Studies Assn/Global Island Network Visit

Suzette and Clyde will be participating in this conference on Kinmen Island off the Coast of China later this month.  The conference is an opportunity to learn more about what’s going on around the world regarding small island issues and to participate in a Global environment specific to our niche of small islands.

 

EPSCOR

Suzette reported that Maui was the only campus that sent in proposals for the EPSCOR grants.  There is a possibility that those who have sent in proposals have a good chance of receiving funds.
