--The minutes of the 9 December Steering Committee meeting were approved without change.
 
--We discussed agenda items for the February 8 meeting of University Senate, including an action item from Library Committee and information items from Teaching Effectiveness, Faculty Handbook Review, Intercollegiate Athletics, and Insurance and Benefits Committees.

--Beginning with the February meeting, University Senate will no longer utilize services of the Research Electronic Support Facility for set-up and operation of electronic equipment (computer, recorder, microphones). The Senate Executive Committee and Administrative Support Specialist will assume these responsibilities, which are expected to result in significant cost savings.
