  3. Information Systems Organization

 

     A discussion of the Information Systems Organization Chart (copy

     the search committee has not been finalized at this time.

     Electronic Village Project and the dedicated statewide data network

     for Cooperative Extension Service, Public Service, and local

     government projects.

 

  4. Committee Charge

 

     A copy of the Joint Task Force on University Council, Commissions,

     and Committees Recommended Constitution Revisions, 4-3-91, Item E,

     Computer Committee was discussed.  The Computer Committee Charge, as

     stated in the report, overlaps with the Communication Resources

     Committee responsibilities.

 

     It was the consensus of the committee that no action be directly

     taken to modify the report.  The UCR Committee will review its

     charge.  Chair McAnge will draft an internal charge for the

     committee and electronically share with the members for their input.

     A presentation will be added to the agenda monthly to bring the

     total committee up-to-date on issues of significant change.  Blythe

     will present an update on one area of Information Systems at the

     October meeting.

     Chair McAnge.  The Vision Statement was drafted last year by several

     members from the Library, Communication Resources, and Computing

     Committees.  All members are to review carefully and be prepared to

     discuss at the October meeting.  The issues and problems on page 6

     of the report will be considered as agenda items for future meeting.
