Minutes of the December 4 meeting were approved with corrections in the attendees.

The Council approved the Operating Plan for the Design Arts Multimedia Lab, which has one Macintosh computer that is used by students and faculty for the production of audio and video files for multimedia presentations.  David Kieper recommended that the Macintosh be replaced on the same cycle as the faculty/staff cycle as we will get a better price for the computer and it will match the other Macs.  The next refreshment for Macs is 2007/08.  The
Council reviewed the computer lab utilization data and approved the Finance Plan for specialty labs for 2007/08 at a total cost of $80,000.   The Council congratulated Diane and Fergus on their work to make better use of computing technology and eliminating low use computers from the plan.  Several years ago the annual cost was approaching $100,000 and is now at $80,000.  This frees up $20,000 for other Lab Mod proposals.

The Council reviewed the revised Student Acceptable Use Policy.  There were no suggested changes from the students or from Council members.  The Council agreed the policy is ready to move on to the Cabinet for final review and approval.  Kathy will email the missing Council members regarding any other changes.

 

Next meeting:  February 5, 2007,  10:00-11:00am.

The meeting adjourned at 10:55 am.

Respectfully submitted,

Kathy Pletcher, Chair
