IV. As May Arise
Fritz Hemans talked to Mary last week and informed her that this Committee will remain as a Faculty Senate Committee for the foreseeable future. He would like to be made aware of the meeting dates and times because he may attend a few meetings.

He would also like the Committee to address a few issues this year:
a. Evaluate the information flow from Financial Aid to the faculty who evaluate students for the purpose of apportioning monies.
b. Encourage transparency from each School about every scholarship they offer
c. Develop a Scholarship & Student Aid Committee website
