D. Goss made a motion to suspend the agenda so that P. Stein could give his presentation.
T. Johnson seconded.
P. Stein said that the Statler Club started as a faculty club. It has suffered a decline with space and energy.
A group of faculty are concerned and talked to the provost about it and have made a faculty club task force. At the first meeting, they discussed that “Faculty Club” is not a good name and that “University Club” would be better. They went and looked at other clubs at 10 universities and found it to be the norm. He believes that with substantial membership and energetic programs, it will be able to run without university money.
He passed out a resolution that was given to the Faculty Senate and mentioned some of the ideas that they had. He requested $300 from the EA to pay for the cost of a website from CIT. Some members volunteered to be on a committee to discuss.
D. Goss made a motion to return to the agenda.
T. Shelley seconded.
