  1. Chair Harvey reopened the discussion of College of A&S departmental safety plans.  Several committee members agreed that they lack the authority to compel non-responsive departments to respond to repeated requests for their safety plans.  Some members wondered if a higher-level request would achieve better results.  Discussion tabled.

Once all safety plans are collected the committees next task is to review plans for completeness.

  

        VI.          Committee member Bob Shupe announced his resignation from the     

Group 6 EH&S committee.  As an elected member Bob’s position will need to be filled with a new elected committee member.  Committee member Tilghman will replace Bob as attendee at the monthly U-wide EH&S meeting.

Meeting adjourned at 4:05.
