CQI STEERING COMMITTEE 

July 23, 2001

Absent: Linda Verceles, Becky Telford, Nancy Cooper

1. Agenda was approved without additional items.

2. Minutes were approved as presented.

3. Performance team activities were presented as follows:

On-line academic design—presented by Brad Reed, team leader
Brad handed out a summary sheet of team activities. It listed team 
members, team charge, and status of activities. Considerable discussion
revolved about a proposed proficiency filter required of students wanting 
to take on-line courses, the registering implications for faculty advising 
from their offices, and the flexibility of Datatel in facilitating a gated
registration. Brad indicated the original deadline for work completion 
would not be reached because of difficulty scheduling summer meetings.
Updates on team progress will continue to be posted on the CQI web 
page.

Other teams—presented by Jane Salisbury
  
Distance Learning—trying to make designed changes; will make 
formal presentation to staff during duty days for informational
purposes.

Customer Service—proposed changes in place; being monitored
throughout summer.

Purchasing—Keith Kamerer reported that specific training is being
designed and scheduled for those staff directly involved in the
new purchasing process.

Room Scheduling—Dr. Yowell indicated the issues sent by Chris
Sargent on behalf of the team are being reviewed. Several of them are
relatively simple Board of Trustee actions, but others require an 
evaluation of consistency with our current philosophy and desired image.
He hopes to have specific guidelines for those issues associated with
facility use by in-house groups such as the theater before classes begin 
in the fall.

All teams are scheduled to meet in August or September for a review of
proposals, their current effectiveness, and the design of specific
measurement criteria for the upcoming year.
   
4. Dr. Yowell handed out a draft depicting the interrelatedness of CQI, AQIP, CQIN, servant leadership, policy-based governance, and our Strategic Guide.
Considerable time was spent discussing the various aspects of the draft and
their specific roles within Edison’s continuous quality improvement journey.

He also passed out a copy of the letter received from Charlotte Lee, President
of CQIN, indicating our acceptance into that organization and reminded 
members the Trailblazer had been mailed July 2. We can expect some 
word from evaluators in 6 to 8 weeks. Scott Epstein complimented our process for completing the self-assessment and recognized the President 
for his acceptance of the document as prepared by the self-assessment 
team.

The Strategy Forum required by AQIP was discussed as was the process and time-line for determining the specific goals to be addressed during our initial
round of evaluation. Jane Salisbury reiterated that the vital few of the Trailblazer assessment may or may not be selected for that process. In any event, they can be addressed in our day-to-day activities. Again, those vital few were communication, staff morale, use of adjuncts, and documentable assessment.

5. Other:

Dr. Yowell discussed his anticipated fall presentation to staff on the continuous quality process.

Jane Salisbury elaborated upon changes to the CQI web page.

A standard meeting time for the CQI steering committee was set for the second Friday of each month at the 12:30 hour.

At the next meeting a team will be assigned to address Jane Kretchmann’s concern about the selection process for the All-Ohio Academic Team.



Next meeting:
