New Business —

Sam opened the floor for discussion for any new business. 

• What about the relationship or communications with the Union to bridge the gap for the first contract negotiations? Most that are not majorly involved with UAKU either read the emails or they do not. It might be good to have someone speak at the next meeting and give an update. Would this be a briefing or an ask? Breandan suggested bringing in a negotiator to talk about things. It could be a briefing. Sam suggested having a Union rep come to Faculty Senate. Brendan offered to send out some requests and refer them to Sam.

Josh made a motion to move to a closed session to discuss a personnel issue on the FRB committee. Brendan seconded. Moved to closed session.

Meeting adjourned.
