.	Organization and powers of the committee were discussed.
.	Discussion of minutes for CC meetings: It was noted that there is a need
for the committee to share and communicate with the campus in order for
members of the campus to be aware of evolving issues and facilitate
input.  However, that needs to be balanced by the confidential nature of
discussions and the committee.s role in providing a forum for frank, open
discussion.  Accordingly, minutes will more often than not reflect
bulleted lists of topics covered and any decisions made, but will not
serve as a verbatim record of discussions and will generally be without
attribution.
.	The annual report of activities for 2001-02 was covered, noting the
amount of time and attention spent on budgetary issues during the Spring
(see annual report posted on web).
