Committee Reports
Staff Development Committee (SDC)
Report from Jeff McAdams (on behalf of):
We still need another classified staff member to join. They can join at anytime and we will appreciate what they can bring to our committee.

We have several new members from the IS community: Kalletta Ebbs, Fiscal analyst in Networking and Telecommunications; Debbi Kramer, Associate Director in Printing Services; Kari Balthazor, Administrative Assistant, Information Services; Sarah Kanning, Outreach Coordinator for IS. (December 2nd will be our first meeting as a complete group - sans the missing cc member, of course).

Jill Glaser has been working with us to create an online events calendar that will display all of the programs and events related to staff development in chronological order. This will resemble a blog format. An early version is available through the SDC web site (http://www2.lib.ku.edu/staff/committees/sdc/) . This will be available soon. We have put a lot of thought into it, and hope it will be helpful for people to know what is coming and how relevant it will be for them.

Upcoming events include "Spongebob in the Workplace" presentation by Tami Albin, on Nov. 18 (this Thursday) in the Johnson Room in Spencer Library from 1:30-3:00; and in the planning stages is a presentation by Judith Emde and Ada Emett entitled "Assessing Information Literacy Skills in the Real World: The Good, the Bad and the Literate."

We always welcome any comments or suggestions from any of the staff members for ideas we could investigate and develop further.

Diversity Committee
N/A

Classified Conference Personnel Committee (CCPC)
Eleanora Drury has agreed to serve for 2004-05. Ela Choromanska attended our meeting today where we discussed the charges and time factors involved. Angie agree to serve for a transition period. Sheila Orth is also considering, but was unable to attend this meeting. Regarding the Supervisor Evaluation charge, Mary Ann Baker mentioned the national classified staff listserv searchable archives as a potential resource. Regarding the Paraprofessional Workshop charge, Denise mentioned that the Alumni Center hosted this for Continuing Ed and it was very successful and thus, may be a potential resource.

Classified Senate
Admin staff of Board of Regents met with HR personnel to get assurance that the move from State’s civil service will not add burden to their work. Kathy Jensen will meet with the Board of Regents on 11/17 to try to get it approved for the legislative docket this year. Concern is that if it is not on the legislative agenda this year, the Classified vote may come in to question. (Updated article 11/18 http://www.ljworld.com/section/kunews/story/187984 )

The classified Senate newsletter will be sent out after 11/17 in order to report on the meeting with the Board of Regents.

Personnel Committee worked on Ola’s FAQs for Disciplinary Processes for Performance Problems and Conduct Problems and is currently reviewing Ola’s updates to the discipline & counseling part of the staff handbook.

SenEx committee met to discuss the student/faculty basketball seating issue, which was said to have been the committee’s fault for not getting the paperwork on time. Documentation contradicts that charge.

Meeting with the Provost, there will not be a building on the south end of the stadium, though there was a significant donation to this project.

Group I Rep election
Will send out the ballot this Wednesday to be returned by Dec 1st.
