Health Fair is being held today from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. at TRAC 2. This is Jay Simpson’s last meeting. Jay has taken a position at UIUC. New Business: 1. Elections and vacancies. * We will hold elections once the new HR person is trained. * Elections will be done electronically and will run for 3 days (same as last year). * Dawn will be in charge of elections since she is the only officer not up for re-election. * We will have 2 or 3 vacant spots to fill. (Jay and Laura’s seats will be vacant; Ann Cole has not decided whether to run for re-election.) 2. Gloria Newton-Davis and Veronica Espina are both leaving which leaves 2 vacancies for the ROAD committee. These vacancies will be filled by Dawn and Lori. Bobbie will get the date, time, and location of the next meeting from Gloria and Veronica. 3. Bobbie was asked about the extra help register and whether the extra help employees get extra points or anything similar to the promotional line employees on the registers. Extra help employees do not get extra points or have a promotional line, they are placed on the register the same as someone from off campus. This is a SUCSS issue, not UIS. Old Business: 1. Silent Auction * The auction raised just over $2,500 this year. (Last year was just over $2,000.) The bake sale raised $277, which is included in the $2,500 total. * Our highest bid item was the Dessert of the Month donated by Jennifer Berry and Lori Atkinson. It went for $150. * There are about 50 items that people still need to come get and pay for. * Next year we will have an “Artists of UIS” section. This will include hand-made items, artwork, etc. We will also have some of the civil staff paint glass bowls or vases that will be part available for bidding. If anyone has extra glass bowls or vases that they would like to donate for this, please bring them to Bobbie. * Next year’s date will be Wednesday, February 27th. 2. Wellness Initiative. Jill was absent so there is no update. She has been doing a lot of research to create a wellness initiative at UIS; more information will be available soon. Chancellor’s Report – Ed Wojcicki 1. Ed handed out copies of Chancellor Koch’s FY 2012 Performance Goals. We think the Chancellor is doing a great job and have heard nothing negative. 2. Provost search * We have had 2 candidates on campus. There will be another candidate on campus today and tomorrow. The final candidate will be here Monday and Tuesday. * The search committee did an excellent job. All 4 candidates seem impressive. * The search committee will meet after the final candidate visit on Tuesday to make a decision. They are hoping to make an offer by the following week.

CARE – Ann Cole – Out 1. Bobbie discussed the possibility of Ann not running for re-election on CSAC. If Ann decides not to run for re-election, the care award will be merged into CSAD since they overlap with each other. There were no objections. CSAD – Bobbie Fults 1. Once we finish with elections, we will get started on this. In the meantime, Bobbie will go ahead and get dates from the Chancellor. Campus Senate – Lori Atkinson 1. The resolution regarding alternates passed at the last meeting. 2. The committee decided the alternate should be one of the Executive Board duties and decided the Vice-President position made the most sense in this situation.

We will need a total of 12 CSAC members at the next meeting to approve this change to the constitution.
