Approval of Prior Minutes
The 5-APR-2005 Meeting Summary was approved.
Co-Chair Discussion
A. Acton is the current UTAC Chair. The Chair position is to be selected annually by the committee. While A. Acton was unable to attend the meeting, he previously indicated that he did not want to continue with the Chair role in 2005-06. The committee also discussed the idea of having the AVP for Computing Services serve as the Co-chair of the committee to support the operations of the committee and provide continuity during the transition during changes to the committee-selected Co-Chair.
Action:
- M. Harhai was unanimously selected as the UTAC Co-Chair for 2005-06. The committee noted its thanks to A. Acton for his service as the UTAC Chair.
- The committee defined the following recommendation for PEC: UTAC recommends a change to the UTAC committee chair structure wherein the current chair arrangement will be modified to a co-chair arrangement. One Co-Chair will continue to be selected annually by UTAC from the list of voting members of the committee. The other Co-Chair will be a standing role for the AVP for Computing Services. The AVP for Computing Services will continue to be an ex-officio (non-voting) member of the committee. However, the standing Co-Chair role is being added for this position to facilitate the administrative operations of the committee (minutes, web sites, subcommittee activity coordination, etc.) and to provide continuity with any transitions of the elected Co-Chair.
- S. Puleio will submit the Chair/Co-Chair recommendations and changes to the Provost for review with PEC.
Tech Fee Subcommittees
Per the e-mail discussions of the subcommittee assignments discussed at the 5-APR-2005 UTAC Meeting, members were assigned to one of the three new subcommittees; see UTAC Subcommittees for full details. Because of the tight deadlines with the Tech Fee process, the University-level Tech Planning Subcommittee and the Tech Fee Review Subcommittee will meet within the next few weeks. The subcommittee notes will be shared with the full UTAC committee via e-mail. The Tech Fee Renewal Project Subcommittee will not meet until the fall.
Informational Items
- M. Phillips reported that the vendor was selected for the CNet data network upgrade RFP. The upgrades will be completed over the summer. Additional details will be shared with the campus community after the contract award is finalized.
