Council President’s Report
 Update on the status of the Family Leave Policy: Rex informed Council that forwarding to the Board of
Regents (planned for July) has been delayed; the Board questioned whether new benefits should be added at this
time of budget crisis, and what the cost would be. An effort may be initiated to get other Regents institutions on
board with similar plans. ISU Administration expects to try to forward to the Board again at a more favorable
time, perhaps February 2003.
 Changes in seating plans for men’s basketball games: Bruce Van De Velde consulted with constituent groups,
including Rex on behalf of P&S Council. Bruce said there would be no change in faculty/staff seating, only in
donor sections. They will likely review seating plans again next year and will consult with constituents earlier
in the process. Dan has heard some feedback from faculty and staff whose seats are being relocated due to the
change, but it is uncertain whether these people are in sections previously set aside for faculty/staff or are in
general public donor or Cyclone Club sections.
Council Treasurer’s Report
 General Fund: $3315.00
 Campus Organization: $436.23
 Professional Development: $845.03
