NEW BUSINESS:

Kaz Chambers presented the Senate with a draft of a Leeward Community College Executive Policy to address policies and procedures governing the use of personal equipment connected to the campus network. The policy would apply to students, faculty, and staff and require all personally owned computer equipment, such as laptops and personal computers, to be registered with the Leeward Information Technology Group (ITG) before connecting to the LCC network. This would include classroom and office network connections. The policy is especially necessary to prevent the transference of viruses and worms from personal computers into the network. The policy allows for anyone attempting to connect to the network, to be redirected to the ITG Help Desk for permission. At that time the ITG staff would check the equipment for antivirus software, service packs, etc. Anyone unwilling to have their equipment checked would be denied connection to the network.

Senators approved of the policy’s intent and suggested that Kaz solicit further input and complete a final draft for Senate approval. Kaz asked Senators to him send comments and suggestions via email.

Chair Goodman requested Senate input concerning the need for open forums to inform faculty of the Reorganization Committee’s final reorganization proposal.

Motion 05-11 (Buchanan/Flegal): To approve a special meeting of the Senate in which all interested parties are invited to attend and during which we will vote on the Reorganization Proposal.
