Committee on the Code - Minutes - June 24, 2024

LFSA Committee on the Code and Bylaws

Meeting Minutes

June 24, 2024

The meeting was called to order at 1 PM by Christen Caton via Zoom.

Present:

Christen Caton, Victoria Williams, Eve Wolynes

Approval of Minutes:

Minutes were reviewed and approved.

Business from the previous meeting:

Discussed the changes we need to make and inserted them into the Code and Bylaws document. Eve found a grammar error and/or a missing word. We discussed whether to fix it or not. It was decided to leave it as is for now and point it out to the LFSA executive committee, to determine if making such changes is within the scope of our charges.

New Business:

Went over the Library Governance Committee Report drafted by Christen Caton. After fixing some minor punctuation errors caught by Eve, the report was approved unanimously by the committee. 

Additions:

Eve had a question dealing with Tenured and Non-Tenured Faculty and supervision and if that was something that needs to be addressed in the code. We agreed to circle back to that topic in the new year.

It was unanimously agreed upon to keep Christen as chair and Victoria as secretary for the upcoming year.

We discussed future meetings and Christen asked how we felt about in-person meetings. Both Eve and I stated we did not have a problem with this. 

This concluded our work for this year with the understanding that our next meeting would be in-person.

Adjournment:

The meeting was adjourned at 2 PM by Christen Caton. 

Minutes respectfully submitted by:

Victoria Williams
