However, he suggested maybe Institutional Research could do a more comprehensive survey and invite the staff, faculty and students to provide information. g) After much discussion, it was decided that a survey instrument would be created and made available to the staff, faculty and students. h) If any one has a suggestion or complaints send it to Debbie Clark and she will forward it to Barry Hart. 3) Economics Benefit Committee Report a) Don Broshears said the committee had no new issues to address and did not meet this month. 4) Nominating Committee Report a) Rose Scruggs proposed on behalf of the Nominating Committee that the following recommendations for the next and future elections be accepted by the Council:
