Summary of
PRESIDENT'S EXECUTIVE COUNCIL (PEC) RESOLUTIONS
Covering Meetings held on 26 February, and 7, 14, 24 March 2000
Issued on 3 April 2000
00.1 Asiaweek Survey
Following AIT's inquiries with the Asiaweek concerning their annual survey of Asian universities, Mr. Cesar Bacani, Senior Editor of the Asiaweek responsible for the survey explained that the survey for the year 2000 covers institutions that offer both graduate and undergraduate programs, and therefore, AIT is not included. However, Mr. Bacani confirmed that SOM is included in their forthcoming survey of MBA programs.
AIT is checking with the Asiaweek in trying to determine when they are likely to conduct their planned survey of strictly postgraduate institutions and whether a mention of AIT being among such institutions could be made in the release of this year's survey.
00.2 Proposal to relaunch the AIT Review
The proposal by OMIS to relaunch the AIT Review towards using it not mainly to chronicle events but to proactively publicize AIT's 'products' was endorsed with the following names proposed by the Deans to the Advisory Board and Institute-wide Information Loop.
Advisory Board
· Dean, SERD
and Professor V. M. Salokhe as an alternate representative;
· Dr. Anulark Pinnoi, SAT;
