Since there has been no meeting of the UA since the last CJC meeting, Peggy Beach had nothing to report about the UA. The UA will be meeting tonight 25 January 2006.

III. JA Oversight Discussion

Linda Falkson said that she would look into the appropriate place to place a reference to the Ombudsman�s office, something like �Direct any complaints concerning the JA�s office to the Ombudsman�s office.�

IV. Meeting with Barbara Kraus

The committee determined that a meeting with Barbara Kraus needed to be scheduled sometime in February and certainly before the 1 April 2006 deadline to discuss changes to the Campus Code of Conduct.

V. Hearing and Review Boards

Linda Falkson submitted to the committee proposed procedural changes involving pages 27–28 and 34–35. The committee discussed the changes, made improvements and corrections, and approved some changes to the submitted pages. Issues relevant to the changes: How big should the pool for panel selection be? If someone begins a term on the Hearing & Review Board, when does a person�s term end exactly? Unresolved change: the use of the terms pool, board, and panel in the submitted pages.

1. Procedure for request of a hearing (timeliness?)
