suggested that language be added in the first part of the resolution emphasizing that faculty are an asset not an expense, that we are losing valuable assets when good faculty leave due to low pay and that low faculty salaries actually cost the university money from grants since in most grants the indirect expenses payment to the university is based on a percentage of faculty salary. Senator Smith agreed to incorporate this language. Also, two typos in the resolution text were pointed out.
With these additions and corrections noted, the resolution was put to a vote and passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 11:46.
