Consider process for reviewing Code and Guidelines in order to recommend changes for CCEB FY2006. To be addressed end June
- to review terms in general
- review CEYA (how does USS changes and merit component effect this), is it more a lifetime achievement rather than true merit equally. Explore CEMA (monthly) which could go into your evaluation in the long-term have merit benefit. Or just suffice with University-wide.
- Review committees

CCPC
Should we activate these charges for FY05 onto FY06 (are they too broad), esp. with USS changes.
· Supervisor evaluation—probably could incorporate to HR initiatives for USS.
· Auburn support staff development workshop—SDC

Agenda Items for Dean/HR Meeting

2) Should we activate these charges for FY05 onto FY06 (are they too broad), esp. with USS changes.

3) Can committee work be considered as part of merit/help to recruit?
(Another idea is to put together a position paper to Classified Senate to emphasize the Library folks (a large group) and include part of our recommendation re: USS changes could be the above re: committee/merit)
