    • The items discussed are the responsibilities, evaluation and participation of NTT (non tenure track) vs tenure track faculty. There has been some concern expressed that NTT faculty have been allowed participation in events that were exclusive to TT faculty and the Personnel Committee is trying to determine where the line should be drawn. We have been communicating with the VPAA on this matter and it is still unsolved at this point. Another meeting is scheduled on Friday but I am doing a demo so I will not be able to attend.
