<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">There was much discussion about the I-School, a new stand-alone school that is not considered a college but will function as a college and report to Central Administration and not
a Dean. The discussion focused on its position as a stand-alone school, how that compares to being a college, and how the school will be funded. It was noted that I-Schools in other peer institutions exist with similar structures. The discussion was tabled
until the next regularly scheduled meeting, and questions are being taken and handled outside of the meeting time. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Another issue that is quite important to CALS is the UITS Centralization project. CIO Barry Brummond attended and presented 4 pre-selected questions: Who established these requirements?
How will UITS and college IT units work together? What are the major milestones? Why does the UArizona use the cloud for some services? (To hear his presentation in full, please see the recording at the 1:45 mark.)

during that time, a Senator asked about how the UITS centralization effort would impact research and cost for labs, researchers, and colleges. No clear information was given on these points. We anticipate that this will come up again in the April 3rd Faculty
Senate, so if faculty have specific questions you would like us to ask, please either email us directly or use our anonymous Qualtrics survey here:

on Faculty bylaws and whether the representation of RII was needed given that they are already included in the Common College. The Faculty Senate voted on whether to allow additional senate seats for RII or refer the topic to the Academic Personnel Policy
Committee (APPC) to understand faculty representation in colleges. Senators voted to refer this to APPC.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
