Student CouncilSelin Acar – PresidentKevin Puetz – Vice President of External Affairs

New President is Ryan Beck Away at co-op right now, but he will be

attending these meetings next year.

Construction The student organization offices have all

moved, and we are beginning the final stage of construction.

All that’s left is painting the outside of the offices.

Computers in Havener They are in now! They are the Thin Client Pilot Computers There is also a printer Because of large student usage, the

pilot program was extended, with a strong probability for permanent computers.

RSO Survey /Networking Networking activity was a success! Will try to have one more before the end

of the semester.

Student Leaders’ Banquet

Will be April 11th

Nomination for awards are now open! Awards are for: organizations, students,

faculty, and staff. If you know anyone, please nominate

them! Registration for banquet is also open! All forms are on the Student Council

website on the left hand side.

Campus Climate Assessment

Working very hard to get good student involvement in survey.

Survey results are essential for the campus.

Others New Student Interest Survey going out next week! Joe Mooney Distinguished Student Award

Nominations are currently available through the Miner Alumni Association. Scholarship that we helped them bring back. Nominate any and all deserving students!

Working really hard to find a better way for RSO Recognition. There are about 17 organizations mid process, and it’s become a very slow process.

Rewording, restructuring, and editing our constitution.

Streamlining Committees

K. M. Isaac, Daniel Tauritz and Jennifer Leopold are on a subcommittee to study streamlining Faculty Senate Committees.

Reducing the size of committees and combining some of the committees are options being studied.

Tech Transfer Advisory Committee

Background

Motion passed by Faculty Senate, 19 June 2008.

It is recommended that an "Intellectual Property Committee" be formed and made one of the Faculty Senate standing committees. The following description for the committee is recommended and that it be incorporated into the Faculty Senate Bylaws.

Intellectual Property Committee

(1) This committee is concerned with the formulation and implementation of intellectual property policies and procedures. It reviews and makes recommendations to the Faculty Senate, Chancellor, and Provost on patents and copyrights matters.


(2) The committee consists of seven (7) members of which six (6) are faculty elected by the Faculty Senate and one (1) is an administrative member appointed annually by the Provost.

The faculty members shall serve for two years with three members elected each year. The committee shall be chaired by a faculty member.


Recent Work at Sister Campuses

The committee will enable direct faculty input in matters related to IP.

Faculty members will serve three year terms.

Committee will be advisory to the tech transfer office.

Committee will seek ways to fast-track disclosure and patenting process.

Committee will give a report at least once a year to the Faculty Senate.

Committee will assist in educational and outreach events organized to stimulate tech transfer activities.
