Executive Council met at 1:30 p.m. at 611 Allen Hall. Present were Dr. Mark Keenum, presiding, Dr. Jerry Gilbert, Dr. Greg Bohach, Dr. Bill Kibler, Dr. David Shaw, Mr. Don Zant, Ms. Amy Tuck, Mr. Bo Hemphill, Dr. Meghan Millea, Mr. John Rush, Mr. Mike Rackley, Dr. Cade Smith, Ms. Shelby Balius, Mr. Mike Rackley, Ms. Joan Lucas, Dr. Tommy Stevenson, Mr. Joe Farris, Ms. Lesia Ervin, and Ms. Judy Spencer.

Dr. Shaw presented for approval an updated version of OP 76.01, Intellectual Property. Changes include a new acknowledgement that students are entitled to own intellectual property made during their enrollment. The Council recommended approval.

Dr. Shaw presented for approval an updated version of OP 80.07, Lobbying Activity. The revision reflects changes in federal law. The Council recommended approval.

Dr. Gilbert presented for review a proposed new policy, HRM 60.314, Shift Differential Pay, that would codify the procedure for providing a 10 percent pay supplement for non-exempt employees required to work a substantial part of the time outside of normal working hours on a fixed or rotating basis. The Council requested that a cost analysis be completed and presented with the proposed policy at a future meeting.

Dr. Gilbert proposed that AOP 12.27, College-Level Program (CLEP), be rescinded. The provisions of the policy are now included in their entirety in AOP 12.26, Undergraduate Credit by Examination, and AOP 12.27 is therefore redundant. The Council recommended approval.

Ms. Balius introduced her successor as Student Association President, Mr. Michael Hogan.
