Meeting was called to order at
The IPC met for the third time in the academic year 2003-2004. Minutes of the November 12 meeting were briefly revisited to recall the major discussions points, before the committee focused on VSU’s “Pocket Mission Statement.” This statement was submitted by Bruce Caster for the Task Force. The mission statement was briefly discussed by the IPC and was approved in its current version. It was then decided to share the statement with the faculty (via faculty serve list), with the VSU community in general (via a VSU website, possibly administered by Marsha Krotseng’s office), with COSA (via Jeff Grant), and with the SGA (via Jason Lewis) for further input.
While the mission statement in its current form is being circulated within the VSU community, we ask that any desired changes or additions to the current version will either be made known at the Faculty Senate Meeting in March, or that said parties voice their support of the current statement. Once the full senate has discussed the statement, it is anticipated that it will be either approved or perhaps send back to the Task Force.
At the meeting it was also mentioned that the IPC needs a new student representative since Jim Marth is no longer with VSU. Moreover, future meetings of the IPC will be scheduled in such a fashion as to minimize conflicts with teaching schedules, etc.

Respectfully submitted,
Michael G. Noll, Chair-Elect.
