Hi Ken-

I have just reviewed the minutes of the Feb 2 EC meeting and saw that the EOC has been issued this charge:

Review what relevant services are available on each campus for dealing with diversity and tolerance issues, and assess how well they are serving their intended functions within current budget limitations. This review should include an assessment of how well the University population on each campus knows about these functions generally, as well as the ease of finding this information for those who might seek help on specific issues arising in these areas. A prioritized list of future directions for reallocating, improving and/or expanding services might also be developed in this review. Provide preliminary report to Senate Executive Committee by April 2, 2007.

These are issues that the SAC has been working on all year. Perhaps we should consider having the two committee work together. If that is all right with the EOC chair, the March and April meetings could be held jointly. However, the scope of this task is enormous and I would say that any report issued by April 2 would indeed be preliminary.

Please advise.

Val Johnson
