-
- Dennis Stovall was introduced as the new Treasurer of AAUP-Oregon replacing
the representative from OIT who has retired.

- Mr. Stovall will make a formal treasurer's report soon; there is about
$ 8500 in the account.
-
- Ms. Arante reported that the State Conference news letter has been sent
out.
New Business - Most effective way to try to secure more funding
for the Oregon University System - At Ms. Arante's prompting, a number
of suggestions were made. Consensus was made around publicizing the state
four-year colleges to the public as a way of generating support for OUS
in the next legislative session (January, 2003) - It was decided there
should be at least two places for publicity:
1) An advertisement in newspapers (Oregonian - about $ 2000;
the Register-Guard and the Corvallis Gazette-Times) which would focus on
how a cut in funding would hurt students.
2) An advertisement on the radio which has students supporting us (KBOO,
OPB, and a Rock and Country Station were suggested). - AAUP-PSU will donate
staff time exploring this issue.
MOTION: It was moved by Dennis Stovall and seconded by Gary Brodowicz
that up to ten hours of AAUP-PSU staff time would be devoted to exploring
putting advertisements in these two sources. Passed unanimously.
Ms. Arante volunteered to notify the Faculty Senates at PSU and OSU
by e- mail that the AAUP State Conference is active.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles C. Langford Secretary
