STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES 
Barry Gomberg discussed issues related to student disabilities. He suggested that all faculty include the following statement on their course syllabus:

"Any student requiring accommodations or services due to a disability must contact Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) in room 181 of the Student Service Center. SSD can also arrange to provide course materials (including this syllabus) in alternative formats if necessary."

Since students have been known to misread or overlook material on a syllabus, it is a good idea for instructors to make the same announcement during the initial class session. The instructor might also suggest that any students who have already arranged for accommodations should make an appointment to discuss these arrangements.

The reason for the statement in the syllabus is to give students notice that if they are in need of an accommodation, it is their obligation to register with the Services for Students with Disabilities and that faculty do not have to give an accommodation after the fact.

FACULTY SENATE LEADERS 
There is great concern across the state institutions regarding compensation for faculty. February 16, 2000 has been set aside for support groups to meet on the steps of the capitol. Some of the institutions have been talking with students and soliciting their support with several student organizations indicating that they would take an increase in tuition, if they were guaranteed that the increase would go to faculty salaries. Salt Lake Community College and College of Eastern Utah have been actively unionizing.

MOTION 
Gene Sessions: Moved that it is not an appropriate action at this time to join forces and involve our students with the action slated for February 16, 2000.

C&GE
