New Business:
I would like to open a discussion about two inter-related topics. I don’t see us coming to a final resolution of how to proceed at this meeting. Rather I think we might identify any roadblocks that exist, and look to find that best way of establishing the goal of idealizing the relationship amongst three important groups serving the entire University of Iowa community.
Relationship with Senior College
Does an active EFC Committee member need to be an active member of the Senior College Committee?
If not:
Would a liaison from EFC to Senior College be appropriate?
Would a liaison from Senior College to the EFC be appropriate?
These questions need to be discussed by both Committees (let us start developing our view).
Relationship with UIRA
There has been a move recently to enhance the relationship amongst the three entities (EFC, UIRA, Senior College). Sam Cochran has joined us this year representing the UIRA to the EFC. Deb Cobb has joined the Board of UIRA. Steve Vlastos has asked to leave his role as a liaison to UIRA as he takes on a new role as one our liaisons to the Faculty Senate and the Faculty Senate Council. Carolyn Wanat and I had a recent discussion concerning this topic, and thought the goals of both organizations would be enhanced this year (while I am EFC president) if I took on the role of an EFC liaison to the UIRA, and I have tentatively agreed to do so.
I think a discussion of the EFC UIRA relationship would be appropriate.
Speaker for todays session:
Debby Zumbach, Associate Vice President and Director, Parking and Transportation/Business Services
