MU Chancellor’s Committee for Persons with Disabilities (CCPD)
Minutes for Thursday March17, 2011
Attendees: Cheryl Shigaki, Barb Hammer, Heidi Shearer, Cindy Cotner, Abbie O'Sullivan, Giuli Krug, & Sara Crites.
February, 2010 minutes: Motion was made and seconded to accept the February minutes, votes were taken and the minutes were approved.
Campus accessibility policy: Abbie presented a refined set of websites that provide web/IT policy. They varied widely. Pros and cons and other thoughts of each style were discussed.
Scheduling: The committee will tentatively meet at 8:30 on Wednesday mornings next year. There will be no formal meetings of the CCPD over the summer. Though projects will likely continue utilizing smaller meetings if needed.
Centralizing disability support services for employees: Barb reported on the meeting chaired by Cathy Scroggs, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, on 02/23/11. It was not as well-organized as would have been helpful and some at the meeting did not have the background needed to understand the purpose of the steering committee. Barb is planning to write a "white paper" to put the concerns into proper perspective for the next meeting (which has not yet been scheduled).
"Traveling road show": Presentations will be made:
Staff Advisory Council (3/24/11) – Lee (lead) Carol, Cindy (part), Bonnie, Cheryl
Faculty Council (04/07/10) – Cheryl (lead), Cindy, Giuli, Abbie, Lee, Barb
Student Affairs Directors (04/21/11) – Barb (lead), Abbie, Giuli, Cheryl (?)
Access SHP: Lee and Sara drafted a set of 3 final reports, one from each subcommittee. Cheryl revised this by merging into one report and forwarded to Lee and Sara for consideration.
Re: previously suggested action to contact Danna Vessell and invite her to an upcoming CCPD meeting for information sharing, especially in light of the hire of 8 Academic Technology Liaisons. This action has been suspended until further notice as the Liaisons are so new and haven’t gotten into the swing of things yet.
HSC Diversity Initiative: Dr. Ingram responded to Cheryl via email and welcomed interaction. No formal plans at this time.
Next meetings:
Thursday April 21 @ Memorial Union S204
Thursday May 19 @ Memorial Union S204
Note: All meetings will start at 8:30 a.m.
