4. Future Meetings
Danielle explained that SGA has requested SAC have scheduled meetings for the semester so that organizations can plan for these deadlines.
It was agreed that Danielle would send a scheduling email to meet late in October and November.
Barbara asked how items got placed on the SAC agenda. Danielle told her that they would contact Danielle and she would put them on the agenda.
Danielle brought up the problem that the Faculty Senate only approved Committee actions once a year, which holds up some policies and chartering action. She suggested getting minutes approved at every meeting of the Faculty Senate. Barbara said that was a good idea and she would look into it. Everyone agreed to look at this process.
