Metolius Room
ATTENDEES: Ben
Farrell, Paula Staight, Jim Blick, Karyn Kaplan, JR Gaddis, Anne
Forrestel, Kay
Coots.
Chair
for 2006-07:
Ben called
for nominations for the next
chairperson. Paula Staight nominated Jim
Blick and Karyn Kaplan seconded. The
committee unanimously elected Jim and he accepted.
Review
of the Year End Report:
There were
just a few suggested
changes to the draft:
Karyn
recommended that the
Green Dorm Room project, ECAF, and CASL be separate and considered
independently. She would like the EIC to
provide a recommendation of support for CASL and also to discuss the
issue with
Frances Dyke. It is not possible for
CASL to function as a sustainable living center without a demonstration
house, and
to hold seminars and classes without the proper tools and facilities.
Kay feels
that the smoke free
campus recommendation does reflect the committee’s discussion over the
past
year. However she cautions that some
preliminary steps are still needed, such as updating the OAR and
soliciting more
input from students and other departments.
A joint committee may need to be assembled.
Feedback
and Follow up:
The committee
would like to
determine if there is a process whereby the EIC can receive feedback
from
administration. Jim will contact Frances
Dyke to invite her to a meeting during the summer to discuss and the
best
methods to receive response on usefulness and progress toward
implementation of
recommendations.
The
next EIC
meeting will be held on Thursday, August 3 at 3:00 p.m. in the EMU
Board Room.
