       presented how the Faculty Development Committee's decisions are driven
       by the action plan some thing the committee should consider:  add
       sabbatical support on web page; make sure to get a link to faculty
       development from College's main web page for faculty; keep the
       committee's work in view of all faculty; make sure faculty know that plenty
       of resources are available in the library on faculty development issues.
