Agendas and minutes from previous meetings were distributed. A handout containing the sections and sub-sections of the Criteria, a designation of the must statements that pertain to Roanoke, and identification of the committee member responsible for each section/sub-section was distributed and discussed.

Key points of the discussion were as follows:

(1) The room between Ken's and Ed's will be the designated SACS work room. Helpful materials (including copies of completed reports from other schools) will be housed there when the room is set up (hopefully in the next month).

(2) Committee members may wish to do some or all of their investigative work/collection of documentation during the summer, but no one should feel any pressure to do so.

(3) The target is for each committee member to complete his or her work by the end of fall semester, and for spring to be used for writing, editing, and establishing compliance where needed. Ideally, the final report will be written by the end of spring semester.

(4) The must statements have been divided into as equal-as-possible sections for assignment to individuals. However, some must statements will require considerably more effort to investigate than will others. If someone discovers that his or her workload seems excessive, then that person should inform others working in the same section to see if some assistance can be provided. If more assistance than that is needed, then committee members should not hesitate to let Greg know. He will be happy to help out in these situations.

(5) Roanoke will follow the general organizational format used by Virginia Tech. Their format was easy-to-read and provided clear and full explanations without adding unnecessary text. Decisions on the writing format by individual committee members (e.g., word processing system, font size, availability of a template) will be made soon and communicated to the committee.

The meeting was adjourned at 1:10 p.m.
