Agenda Digest

December 1, 1997

Present: David Gies, Jahan Ramazani, Paul Cantor, Julian Connolly, Daniel Larson, Paul Mahoney, Kenneth Schwartz, Barbara Parker, Craig Sarazin, Craig Slingluff, Martha Snell, Houston Wood

David Gies called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m. in 110 Peabody Hall.

Mr. Gies welcomed everyone to the meeting and introduced a new member of the Committee, Kenneth Schwartz, from the School of Architecture.

The primary agenda for the meeting was to review and make revisions if necessary to the report that the Committee will be submitting to the Executive Council later in the day, and then to the full Senate for their endorsement.

Dan Larson reported that his subcommittee had contacted other institutions regarding the existence of faculty centers, and if they are successful. Clubs that are not solely for faculty, but for a broader-based group of constituents, seem to work best. It was pointed out that the most successful clubs are inclusive rather than exclusive.

Suggestions were made for revisions to the report, which Mr. Gies will incorporate into the report, and he will present it to the Executive Council this afternoon for their endorsement.

The meeting adjourned at 10:55 a.m.
