IV. Additional Business
-
Dan Skendzel
- Dan Skendzel met with John Affleck Graves and Jim Lyphout regarding the changes to the Staff/Faculty Shuttle.
- Dan mentioned that access to Mason Center and D6 was important, particularly for the 7:00 a.m. shift.
- The recommendation is to use the current buses and open them up to the whole campus rather than exclusively for the Main Building. A loop of campus will offer opportunities for everyone.
- The frequency of the loop will move from every 15 minutes to every 30 minutes to cover the new stops.
- SAC discussed with Dan several ways to communicate this to employees. Ideas included a campus-wide email, posting of the schedule, telling managers, posting on insideND and a possible article in ND Works.

With no further topics to discuss, Mo Marnocha made a motion to adjourn at 2:09 p.m. The motion was seconded by Laura Gerber and passed.
