Jonathan Finch was invited to attend but

security handles student parking violations.

Scott Jaeschke discussed Title 9 and
procedures related to student code of conduct (3-2-106.1 and 3-106.2). Scott

suggested that Scott reach out to faculty directly for volunteers during the
Professional Development Day training event.

representation after the event.

lead for this committee going forward. Stacey Frank, the current vice
president, will be the FS representative on the current Adjunct Study
Committee.
