Debby will summarize the number and names of users of the labs from the print outs so we can see who has used the labs for the last two semesters.

and that the Tech Committee will submit its proposed policies for review, and approval to the Educational Planning Committee, and for FYI to the Academic Senate. The Committee has too many goals, and too detailed, and the Committee should be more of an advisory and policy creating committee and not an oversight committee. The Committee will review the goals to modify them in our next meetings.
