Opening Remarks:
Welcoming of new members, excusing Scott who was at a ribbon cutting ceremony during the time of the
meeting.
Previous Items:
Intentional spaces review: Ray had met with Andrea and received permission to put together a policy for
approval. This would include a schedule (filled out at each locale). Acceptable uses of such rooms would
be for Lactation-related actions, Prayer and other medical reasons. However, there must be included in
this policy a No Food requirement for such rooms. This policy would need to include the Definition,
Usage, Times, and have a Sign Up Sheet posted at each area.
New Items:
Committee decided to have a review of our specific assigned duty as a group. This includes the official
statement posted as
"Makes recommendations through Faculty Senate to the Provost, President and other administrators on
new space needs or modifications required to support academic programs of the University. Its members
sometimes serve as CCPU/Senate representatives on other University committees overseeing major
capital projects."
Campus Item: The dumpster in front of the library is placed in an area that covers the planter box.
Question of why it was placed there was brought up. This is visually not pleasing and can conflict with
wheelchair access to the area as well.
Campus Item: New meetings reported on landscaping.
