B. Facilities & Support Services & Library
The Committee will submit a “Resolution on Library Administration”

behind the Resolution and has been working to gain support on this issue.

The Committee will report on the four Honor System/Academic Standards Task Forces’
recommendations it received from O&O at the meeting this afternoon, and
encourage faculty to return their completed Faculty Evaluation of Administrators
to the Faculty Senate Office as soon as possible.
D. Nominations
No report.
E. Organization & Operations
The corrections to the AY2003-2004 allocation of Senate seats will be announced
at today’s Faculty Senate meeting. The Committee will begin the complex
task of amending the allocation section of the Charter and working with IRR
to update
the faculty database in the fall.

There was no new business.

The meeting adjourned at 1:00 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Debi Siler
