Mr. LaPenta pointed out that DTCC was subsidized by the state and, therefore, fees are low. Mr. Elfers noted that, as of the year 2000, SSAC had reached its 25 th anniversary. Mr. LaPenta will find out if records exist that can be used to construct such an abbreviated history. Ms. Doucette asked why employees are not paid for unused sick days, noting there would be less abuse of this benefit if they were. Mr. LaPenta indicated the University actually has very little abuse, and such plans are usually found in heavy industry.
Sick leave is to be utilized when an employee is sick.
Mr. Holland will check into this. Ms. Hadden talked about the inconsistency in crosswalk signage near Clayton Hall, and the safety hazard one particular crossing presents to pedestrians.

In response to Ms. Pochvatilla s inquiry regarding the continued use of MVS for budget turnaround, Dr. Colm indicated the current system will be used this July.
