The Committee identified a nominee for a vacant seat on the Committee on Health, Safety, and the Physical Environment.

The Committee discussed the possible role for a faculty ombudsman and agreed to gather additional information before the matter is taken up again in the summer.

The meeting adjourned at 2:55.
