B. Pending motion: Whereas the FSUC&ECC has experienced several episodes of
disruptions in the orderly development and function of our instructional
technology environment, which seem to stem from a lack of informed long term 
planning, the Faculty Senate urges the administration to create a Teaching, 
Learning, and Technology Roundtable (TLTR) according to American Association 
for Higher Education (AAHE) specifications.

C. Tabled motion: The Committee requests that Associate Chancellor for
Information Technology, John Dubach, present our concerns about long term
critical planning for IT to the Chancellor.
