April 24, 1991

    Minutes of the University Communications Resources Committee

 

  Meeting:  Wednesday, April 24, 1991, 3:00 p.m.

  Location: Donaldson Brown Continuing Education Center

 

  Attending: Blythe, Fox, Litchfield, McCoy, Mullins, Sanders, and McAnge

 

  Guests:  Bowden, Head, and Lilly

 

  1.   Minutes of March 27, 1991, meeting approved as corrected.

 

  2.   Items added to the agenda included:

         Information Systems Reorganization

         Report of Task Force on Councils, Commissions, and Committees

 

  3.   Charge for Dial-in Service

       One of the systems being evaluated was demonstrated.  It involved

       an account number and a password that changes every minute on a

       security card.  The timeframe for implementation is uncertain at

       this time.  Other options have been discussed but it was determined

       that they were not economically feasible.  It was stated that, if

       the system is implemented, the use of the security card can be

       expanded.  The issue of equity may surface with the implementation

       of this service.  Re-evaluation of the service and rates in

       accordance with University policy will take place.  The costs are

       monitored, as well as the revenue generated.

 

  4.   Development of 5-Year Plan

       Committee has not met since the last meeting of CRC.  It was

       stressed that comments concerning the Plan are to be directed to

       John Cosgriff.  This item will be placed on the agenda for the May

       meeting with an invitation extended to Cosgriff to lead the

       discussion.

 

  5.   Policy on Acceptable Use

       Draft copy presented to committee by Fox contained minor revisions.

       A vote on the policy was postponed until the May meeting due to

       the number of persons absent.

 

  6.   Information Systems Reorganization

       Several changes have recently been made with the Information

       Systems Organization. Blythe briefly shared with the committee the

       reorganization structure.  A complete report will be given by

       Heterick at a later meeting.

 

  7.   Task Force Report on Councils, Commissions, and Committees

       McAnge shared with the committee the section of the report that

       concerns CRC and the Computer Committee.  After discussion, it was

       agreed that the Chairman would talk to the chair of the task force

       stating the concerns of the committee. The results of the

       conversation will be shared with the committee at the next meeting.

       The next committee meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 29, 1991,

       Donaldson Brown Center, Conference Room C, 3-5pm.

 

  Meeting adjourned.
