Reporting Units
Athletics: At
the recent NAIA annual meeting, a constitutional bylaw amendment was approved
to reduce the amount of contests, effective
Information Technology: Chris Lau, Datatel
regional manager, visited campus on Tuesday, April 20.
Two major concerns were reviewed: financial reports formats and content issues,
and tracking of non-credit course offerings.
Faculty access to Datatel
will be reviewed. Some faculty continue to need access for advising non-assigned
students while many others utilize WarriorWeb.
College Advancement:
Alumni giving is up 21% to date. An average 4% of alumni
giving back to the college.
An annual appeal will be mailed before the end of the
year. Polly Blasko will be requesting assistance
with identifying events and classes on campus next year in order to invite
Foundation contacts to learn of programs of interest. New scholarships have been established in
Auto Mechanics, Nursing, Humanities, and two general scholarships. Planned giving program is being promoted.
College Communications: A photo make-up session for President’s
Council members will be scheduled.
LCWarriorMail policy explanation has been developed for feedback.
The explanation: The following is being sent out as a reminder
and clarification which re-emphasizes an existing policy at Lewis-Clark State
College. This policy was established to provide a standardized way for faculty
and students to communicate outside the classroom by using LC WarriorMail. Although the policy has been in place for two
years, everyone was not clear about how it applied. Students can always use
personal e-mail accounts for other communication, however they will always need
to access their LC WarriorMail account to communicate
about school and classroom matters. As of Aug. 23, the first day of the
fall semester, students, faculty and staff will be required to follow this LC WarriorMail standardization. This is to ensure students
learn of important events, such as deadlines for dropping/adding classes, and
so forth. The following is the school policy on LC WarriorMail:
The proposed policy:
Email is a mechanism for official communication within Lewis-Clark State
College. An LCSC assigned student e-mail account will be the college's
official means of e-mail communication with any student. Students, faculty and
staff are responsible for receiving, reading, complying with, and responding to
or acting upon official email communications from the college, faculty, staff
or students in a timely fashion. Official e-mail communications are
intended only to meet the academic and administrative needs of the college
community. Students, faculty and staff are responsible for the
consequences of not reading in a timely fashion college-related communications
sent to their official LCSC e-mail account.
Institutional Planning, Research and Assessment: IPEDS
Graduation Rate Survey of Spring 2004 Summary was distributed and can be
accessed at http://intranet.lcsc.edu/reports/Default.asp.

groups have met and the Academic Programs group is scheduled to meet.
Other Reports

Thomas and Provost Fernandez will take the proposal under consideration. A notice will be posted on the intranet

recommended for consideration.
