The ULC members received, prior to the meeting, copies of the current faculty study application and guidelines. Shipman distributed a handout listing some general information on room use. There are 65 faculty study rooms, for a total of 140 spaces.

Three spot checks taken during the past week showed that most rooms do have material stored in them, but that few were actually occupied by faculty. The ULC would like to explore the possibility of allowing graduate students access to some of the faculty study rooms, twenty, for example. It appears that there are two primary reasons for graduate students needing a faculty study room.
