Tech-Fee Committee Meeting

May 30, 2007

Members Present:  Linda Fratzke, Steffany Long, Anna Cavinato, Janet Hume-Schwarz, Brian Sather, Frederick Pratter,

Resource Members Present:  Karen Clay, Paul Rowan, Helen Moore

The minutes from May 24, 2007 meeting were approved as submitted.

Linda Fratzke announced that, due to other commitments, she will not be able to chair the Tech Fee committee next year.  She will continue to serve as the DDE representative on the committee.  Linda nominated Brian Sather to serve as the Tech Fee Committee Chair.  He accepted the nomination and was unanimously elected.  Anna Cavinato announced that this will be her last year to serve on the committee.  She will check with her colleagues in CAS for a replacement.  Linda will contact ASEOU regarding replacing our student members who are graduating.

The new timeline was formally approved - see last week's minutes.  Brian asked when (under the new timeline) we could expect equipment to arrive on campus.  It was agreed that the goal would be the end of spring term.   Linda will send out an infoline informing the campus of the timeline changes.

Since Michael Sirrine wasn't present at this meeting, the rest of the discussion regarding the changes in the proposal submission process will be carried out via email.  Linda will notify us if a new meeting is necessary.

Once the changes in the submission process have been agreed to and formalized, Linda asked if each committee member would notify their own constituencies of the changes.  Linda will work with Charles Martin to notify students.  Suggestions for this included putting a notice in The VOICE, participating in the Club Fair, and asking KEOL to run an announcement.   Linda and Helen will work together to create a flyer for posting around campus.
