Dear Faculty,
The UH Hilo Faculty Congress voted on March 23, 2007 to amend the bylaws to include

your name and department on the outside of the envelope. Blank envelopes will

Faculty Congress will have a minimum of three Congress members overseeing the
collection of data. All names on envelopes will be checked against a master list of
names, and then the inner (blank) envelope will be placed in a box with all the other
blank envelopes. The blank envelopes will be opened and compiled under supervision
of at least three Congress members. The results will be reported at the April Faculty
Congress meeting in Executive Session and a written summary report will be sent to
