DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Next Steps
The College Store is under Operations Council. Does the Operations Council support a Bookstore Advisory Committee? Sarah Lehmann, librarian, will present to the Council. Koue Vang, Sarah Lehmann Sarah Lehmann presented on the Textbook Adoption Program. The problem is to get more faculty to turn in textbook orders on time. Solution proposed is to establish a Bookstore Advisory Committee. A request has moved on to ELT to approve.

“Advisory committees exist outside of the official governance structure to offer counsel that informs the thinking of various groups including instructional programs. In general, the role of an advisory committee is to supply advice, external perspectives, coordination with partner organizations, and/or subject matter expertise on a narrowly defined topic. Decision-making, action, and resource allocation are outside the scope of advisory committees and occur through ARC’s established processes.”
