Fred Jacobs noted Item 5, with respect to Awards Recognition, was stated more “forcefully” than was intended. The minutes were corrected with a second on the motion by Winston Wilkinson. The motion passed. Sticklen provided an awareness overview of the Faculty Work-Life committees discussions, including information currently available. Barbara Steidle provided background on the “pipe bombs” that were discovered near student dorms. Discussion on the student computer requirement issues continued from questions raised at the October 28, 1999 meeting with a focus on framing key issues which may not have been previously identified, but that would be crucial to implementation.

The committee recommended that Joe Chartkoff’s subcommittee develop a “bullet list” of key considerations for further implementation items. The focus would be on intent not on micro-management; the committee, however, would like the opportunity to comment on the Web site as it would evolve. UCAP student committee members reviewed ongoing discussions in their standing committees and provided recent recommendations that their committee had made. Chartkoff raised the issue of the role of the University in providing technical support services both respect to hardware and software. Others asked and discussed how this is currently being handled for the 60% of the current student population who have computers. Would the requirement to have a computer reduce resources currently going into student labs? Would additional resources be available for hardware and software support? Issues of special problems faced by international undergraduate students were raised. To some extent, these also hold for part-time domestic students and others who will not necessarily be at MSU for four years. Winston Wilkinson made a motion that the following basic recommendation be forwarded to the Provost:
Joe Chartkoff seconded. The motion passed. The concluding section of the meeting covered an introduction to SIRS forms issues. UCAP11.11.99.doc |
