 Subject: MASSMAIL - October 1st Senate Meeting to be Televised

October 2, 2007

Dear Colleagues,

In order to raise the visibility of what the Senate does here at UIUC, we 
have begun videorecording and televising our meetings. The October 1st 
meeting will be shown on local access television (channel 7) on Thursday, 
October 4 at 7:00pm.

The main issue of discussion was the Academy on Capitalism and Limited 
Government Fund, which has been in the news lately. There was a thoughtful 
and informative discussion with the Chancellor about this initiative, and 
for those of you wanting to know more about it, this is a great 
opportunity.

The occasion of the discussion was a resolution proposed by Professor 
Belden Fields. In the end, the Senate chose to take the resolution under 
advisement until the next Senate meeting, partly because members were only 
seeing it for the first time. So the conversation will continue.

This is a very important debate for our campus, and accurate information 
about it has been difficult to come by. I urge you to take this 
opportunity to see what the Senate is saying about the issue.

Nicholas C. Burbules
Chair, Senate Executive Committee
