All proposals on the November 13, 2012 consent agenda were approved.
Information
The dean informed council that the Dean's Advisory Council has met to review the department and program budget requests and the DAC has begun to make recommendations. Associate Dean Malcolm Hill has worked with the STEM 6 chairs on a plan for the acquisition and replacement of new equipment for the science labs. They recently met with procurement services in order to move forward on approved expenditures.

Discussion Agenda:
Admission Market Study with Nanci Tessier
Dean Skerrett welcomed Nanci Tessier, vice president of enrollment management, to the meeting. The university commissioned a market study to see how prospective students and admitted students respond to different ways of presenting the university’s program and resources. The purpose of the study was to determine help the University of Richmond strengthen its competitive position for prospective undergraduates, as well as to understand the effects of tuition price and financial aid on applications and yield. Nanci Tessier presented the findings of the study and took questions from council members.
Talent Web Training with Kim Wilson
Dean Skerrett introduced and welcomed Kim Wilson, from Human Resources. Kim Wilson presented the highlights of Talent Web, a new employment evaluation system, and explained how it works. Kim confirmed that all information that was once on Planet Spider has been transferred to the UR Talent Web system. She informed council that human resources is still building UR Talent Web, therefore, some features may not be available at this time. Although this is an online system, talent web encourages interaction between staff members and their supervisors.
Chairs Professional Development Accounts
The dean informed council that each chair has a professional development account of $750.00. Chairs may spend this account for professional or department purposes, including business entertainment. If chairs purchase electronic equipment, such as iphones or ipads, to help with their work, such electronic equipment must be returned to the university if the chair departs from the university.
The meeting adjourned at 11:53a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Zandria Haines
