BOYD: The University plans to have the Faculty Senate's recommendation concerning ROTC considered as expeditiously as possible, consistent with consultation with all interested campus constituencies, including, in addition to the Faculty Senate, students and appropriate colleges.

In addition to asking the Deans to convene faculty meetings to consider the resolution, I have asked each Dean to provide for student input into whatever recommendation is made. The Faculty Senate has appointed a three-member committee to assist in implementing the Senate's recommendation. I ask that this group work with representative administrative officers and students to assure that the matter is considered with all dispatch.

To assure that the student point of view is represented, I will ask Robert Beller, President of the Student Senate, and _________ to work with the group.
