1. Minutes approved
2. UFC Agenda Committee � Discussion of Memorandum on Executive Review/Summary Dossiers � McRobbie indicated this is a fair process and will result in less conflict with the regionals. Several faculty expressed continued concern with the summary dossiers and executive review process.
a. Suggestion � could the regionals meet prior to UFC meetings to discuss issues that are relevant to the regionals. Perhaps the Agenda committee of the UFC could serve this role. Or perhaps a conference call with all of the Fac Org Presidents could work as well. Regional Campus Caucus.

b. Academic Affairs � working with OVPR on stimulus funding; Scholarships � Bloomington has under 50,000 go free � working with Dev. � can we do this or something like this?
