for the Colleges to attend the Research Council and to collect complaints,
issues, etc. from faculty. To provide a
two way communication for the faculty. Recommendations are Richard Fork and Stephen
Edmondson. Dr. Boyd will contact them

to a perception that Faculty fear going directly to Gloria due to a fear of
reprisal.
