Minutes for PRAC meeting 10/15/09

Attendance:  Gene Brady, Susan Clerc, Karen Cummings, Charlene Dellinger-Pate, Marybeth Fede, Susan Felsenfield, Martin Hartog, Yi-Chun Tricia Lin, Adam Abugri, Tom Radice, Scott Graves, Patricia Kahlbaugh

1. The committee members engaged in careful review of standards 1-17 so that PRAC can effectively evaluate incoming program reviews for this academic year.  Committee members worked in small groups of 2 to 3 on specific standards.  Scott Graves provided a model from the Graduate Review document, which identified rubrics for determining "met" or "not met" for Graduate Review.  The PRAC working groups reviewed these rubrics along with the program review document for undergraduate programs to see what could be useful for the undergraduate reviews. 
2. Rachael Vaters-Carr and Mitchell Bills attended the PRAC meeting and sat with many of the workgroups to ask questions and gain insight into the review process.  They indicated it was helpful and may choose to attend again on Oct 29th and would be very welcome.
3. A plan was made for all workgroups to email progress made in creating rubrics to P Kahlbaugh who will organize it, and disseminate it to PRAC members for a focused discussion of the standards and any larger issues for October 29, 2009 meeting.
