Discussion: J. Tovey explained that the campus childcare facility has been approved and now it is waiting for budget approval. A letter of support was shared with the committee, which recommended that a statement be added indicating how the facility ties in with the UNC Tomorrow Report. This resulted in a motion (Nasea/Hegde) to pass endorsement of the letter with the suggested change. Motion passed.

After discussion of carry over business from 2007-2008, the committee agreed to address the following items this year:

Additional duties: J. Toller will send a summary of the benefits satisfaction survey to B. Southard so it can be put on the Faculty senate website. Also, it was noted that the online version of the Faculty Manual Part 6, Phase Retirement section, still included old information. B. Southard was going to look into having that changed so only the new information was listed.
