Maureen Murtha has been nominated as University Liaison, and will need confirmation from the Board. Passed a resolution would require university members of the FLA to require disclosure of factory sites by the licensees. Did not act on a proposed resolution regarding supplemental monitoring, but assigned the issue to the above mentioned task force. The proposed supplemental monitoring program would establish additional monitoring of several sites per year. The program would be overseen and funded by the University Advisory Counsel.
Unannounced visits are most effective.
Verite' has been working with CLC on a pilot project with several schools represented by CLC, as well as Southern Cal, and reports are due in September. My own observation, after having been involved for almost three years now, is that the FLA is on the verge of becoming operational in a meaningful sense. The concepts we have all talked about are about to be instituted in the field, and I think for the first time, there is a feeling that the ball is really being rolled forward. As always, if you have questions, concerns or comments, feel free to contact me.
