A. Due to the limited business of today’s meeting, video streaming will be done at the next Faculty Senate meeting (2/11/02) with the URL posted the Friday prior to the meeting. Interactive web conferencing for Faculty Senate meetings is still being discussed, so for the time being its implementation is on-hold.

B. The English Language Institute (ELI) is currently not attached to any academic unit. It will be incorporated into CHEP (College of Human Services, Education & Public Policy). This was a unanimous wish by ELI as CHEP was deemed the best fit of any existing UD college.
