PURDUE UNIVERSITY CALUMET

CHANCELLOR'S MEETING WITH DEANS, DIRECTORS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS

Minutes of July 10, 2000

I. Call to Order. Chancellor Yackel called the meeting to order.

II. Chancellor's Report. Chancellor Yackel said that he met on July 7 with Dr. Martin Jischke, Purdue University new president effective August 14, reviewing Purdue Calumet operations. Dr. Jischke, as President of Iowa State University, has not experienced regional campus activities and different missions. He said Dr. Jischke took lots of notes mentioning this being a learning time. Chancellor Yackel said President Jischke will visit Purdue University Calumet on September 28, when he will be here to attend the Chancellor's Gala and Hall of Fame induction and meet the campus community. A second visit is being planned to include meeting with some NWI legislators and community leaders. Chancellor Yackel said that his conversation with Dr. Jischke included the proposed Gyte addition as part of the upcoming legislative session. Chancellor Yackel relayed to Dr. Jischke his intent to retire effective July 1, 2001. Dr. Jischke said he will name a search committee beginning in the Fall 2000 semester to fill the Chancellor position.

III. Projects Update. G. Sullivan reported that the official completion of the Anderson Building was scheduled for August 17 and that there has been a setback of approximately six weeks with the necessary redesign of the mechanical systems and concrete leveling problems with the floors. He also reported that Gyte 158 is the process of being rebuilt and will be a tiered lab for ISCP available by the Fall 2000 semester.

G. Sullivan also reported on the SFLC canopy mentioning delay with the completion due to rainy weather almost weekly and that the structural steel should give us some idea of this visible addition upon entrance to the campus from the south.

G. Sullivan reported that the Challenger Center is basically in operation in its new facilities and that the Conference Center will be completed within a couple of weeks. Flooring and millwork finishings will be done under separate contracts.

D. Korchek asked if the laboratories in Anderson will be ready by August. G. Sullivan said it will be too difficult to move before the contractor completes the checklist and that the move would probably take place mid-semester.

IV. Departmental Copy Machines. P. Brown reported on the proposal to decentralize copy machines which has been well accepted. So that departments may do jobs efficiently, consideration of new equipment will be given for individual departments. The individual copy machine costs will be a department expense with the one-time initial replacement being funded from capital equipment funds at costs of $6,000 to $9,000 per machine. The vice chancellors will discuss replacement or reserve funds to accomplish. Copy cards and re-charging costs will no longer be made to departments, paper being the only supply required. There will be central maintenance on the machines and the cost per copy will vary from 1 cent or less. Machines located in public areas will have coin operated and copy card requirements.

V. AEDs – Automatic External Defibrillators. M. Kull reported that the idea of PUC having AEDs began with E. Andrews questioning consideration at PUC and what they can add in terms of value for PUC and for those victims of cardiac arrest. The AEDs are manufactured by FirstSave @ $3500 per unit, an affordable device for cardiac arrest. Protocol for use of AEDs is established by the American Heart Association through the Purdue University Police, PUC Department of Nursing, and by Dr. Jonas Westin, Director of PU Student Health Center (WL). PUC University Police are trained in the use of AEDs and consideration is being given to training others as an additional commitment to having a safe environment. Decision on whether or not to use AEDs in an emergency situation is based on the computer within the AED that prevents user from incorrect decisions. It is considered a supplement and possible life-saving device until emergency medical service is attained. There are now five AEDs in place at PUC in the following locations: CLO near south elevator, SFLC lst floor elevator lobby, PER hall near check-in counter, and in a University Police vehicle.

VI. Announcements / Q & A. L. Baer announced a change in value of items considered as capital equipment. Effective July 1, 2000 equipment $2500 and above is considered capital equipment and that this value will be moving upward toward $5000 in the future. She said that there would be a capital equipment inventory scheduled in Fall 2000. E. Andrews questioned whether equipment not on inventory list is insured. L. Baer stated that if the value of an item is under $2500 and we would prefer it tracked, Accounting will tag with the PU property sticker.

L. Baer also announced the conversion of BANNER to the BANNER 4.3 project with completion anticipated by the start of October, about three weeks ahead of the schedule. The purchase of new HP servers was required and installation was greatly impacted by coordination of CTIS and ISCP staff whom she complimented. She stated that there might be some new navigational issues in this version.

M. Kull announced the implementation by Fall semester of new photo ID/MAG stripe cards for the gate-controlled staff parking areas that will include a device implemented into the swipe cards so that they may be read by being held up to the driver's window. These swipe cards will also be recognized in the Fitness Center.

M. Kull also announced the addition of 48 parking spaces to access the Conference Center and PER events, located south of 173rd Street, west of PER Building.

M. Kull reported the reduction in traffic violations from 5,000 to 1,000 in the past year due to the change in parking restrictions.

P. Kretzman announced the addition of the Travel Center opening July 1 as part of Accounting Services with Cathy Taylor as travel consultant. Administrative Services will be the pilot program for the Travel Center. A newsletter will be issued later this month.

T. Ryan reported on payroll direct deposit participation being at 97% for A/P staff, 95% for faculty, 95% for clerical and 85% service staffs. There will be another general mailing hoping to increase the rate of participation.

V. Adjournment. With no other business to address the Chancellor adjourned the meeting.
