A brief discussion followed on how to inform faculty of issues and if more needed to be done for this purpose. Walter Threlfall suggested using e-mail instead of the paper trail through the deans' offices. It can be brought up to the Faculty Council. The University Senate now has a listserve. Dick Stoddard often gets notified from a faculty member after they are notified from a national organization regarding an issue.
Legislation is most often in a different stage when the faculty become aware of the issue.
Dr. Kalbouss wants the Committee to be more forward-looking, and less reactive. He would like to get input from the faculty in general terms and show the impact from the federal and state governments. He encouraged the websites to be developed. Jon Cross reported that the database is up and running. One issue they are currently working on is the student trustee voting rights bill.
