 Reminders:
1. CEP Meeting at UCO on September 17—Volunteers needed to represent the following
disciplines: Child Development, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Early Childhood
Education, Engineering, History, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Psychology.
2. An ad-hoc Task Force committee has been created to begin the timeline planning and review
options for working towards ADA Section 508 Compliance. The primary consensus is that
faculty should be reassured they do not need to pull their materials. A compliance resource
webpage has already been built by Laura Wray, and Armida Bradley in Distance Learning is
working closely with her to identify additional resources. Armida has begun setting training
sessions for each department to work through the support and assistance that will be
provided.
3. DUPLEX PRINTING IN LABS: We are receiving complaints from students printing
papers in our labs that faculty want single-sided papers. As part of CU’s Go Green initiative
in 2010, all lab printers are set to print duplex. And in support of CU $ave$, this is also
applicable. Please share with faculty and adjuncts.
4. Deans need to get non-instructional items for all summer faculty to Mandy by May 20 th.
5. Hold August 10th at 8:30 for the Back-to-School meeting and brunch.
