Present – Michael Abraham, Prince Charles Alexander, Dennis Cecere, Peter Cokkinias, Marti Epstein, Rich Grudzinski, Danny Harrington, Jonathan Holland, Teodros Kiros, Jeff Perry, David Scott, and Jeri Sykes. 

  2. Jackson is not present, his mother-in-law passed away. Danny is running the show.
  3. We would like to use on-line voting for our next election. We will try this as an experiment and use AAA for an on-line ratification of the contract. The cost is $1200. Peter made a motion to approve the payment, Jeri seconded, and the vote passed unanimously.
  4. A faculty member was under scrutiny regarding a student and their interaction. It was falling under harassment and borderline sexual harassment. This has been resolved with the faculty member being suspended for a week and losing a week’s pay but not being fired. There will be check-ins with the chair and the dean, etc. We may proceed with the legal process but only if the faculty member wants to push.
  5. We should set-up a meeting with the Executive Committee regarding the harassment policies and the “Creating a Safe and Welcoming Classroom for All” presentation.
  6. Peter moved that we adjourn, Jonathan seconded, and vote was unanimous to adjourn.
