2. Approval of minutes for October 21st FA meeting.

There was a change to the report by Continuing Education Council: Florence Kirk was elected recorder and the chair had not been elected yet. The minutes were approved unanimously.

3. FA Chair's Report - D. King

D. King began by showing a gavel that was given to him as a gift from retired AVP Sherry Dunham, which was used at early Faculty Assembly meetings in the 1960's.

He has asked Jerry DeSantis to report to the Assembly early next semester regarding campus construction and renovation projects. The Concept Committee toured Johnson Hall and Rich Hall last week and both buildings were very impressive.

V.P. Nick Lyons will be giving a report on the SUNY budget early next semester as new budget information comes forward.

He also mentioned the AFROTC "cross town agreement" that SUNY Oswego has with the Army ROTC. This allows SUNY Oswego students to enroll at Syracuse University for the Army ROTC because there is no instruction on our campus. Captain Hahn of AFROTC is willing to come to speak to the Assembly about this issue.

Graduation is scheduled for December 21st at 11 AM in Laker Hall. There will be a reception from 8-10 AM in the Hewitt Union. D. King encouraged the faculty to attend to show strong faculty support for graduating seniors.

Tentative scheduling of SUNY Faculty Senate Fall Plenary meeting at SUNY Oswego is for October 24th-25th, 2003. Attending will be about 80 Senators and committee members from the thirty-six 4-year campuses of SUNY. Also attending will be the Chancellor, Provost, Dick Miller, Dave DeMarco, Brian Stenson, etc.

D. King asked Kevin Mahaney to report at the next FA meeting on Oswego's Capital Campaign.
