Open forum

Faculty Council representatives Peter Stegner and Chris Dockrey submitted faculty opinions on the Pick-A-Prof program. They said the Faculty Council generally regards Pick-A-Prof as a benign presence. They also said the council advised the program may not meet its proclaimed potential without guidance from ASUI. The council also warned Pick-A-Prof may be charged a fee to access bulk grade records and student surveys, a price the company may not be willing to pay.

Blood drive coordinator Justin Eslinger discussed this semester’s collection. He said more units have been donated this semester than were collected in the spring semester. According to Eslinger, UI is the most productive entity for the Lewiston branch of the American Red Cross. He promoted upcoming blood drives and said he is trying to establish a friendly blood drive competition between UI and BSU.

Elections Coordinator Amaia Kirtland announced petitions for the upcoming ASUI elections are available in the ASUI office. ASUI president, vice president, seven senator positions and a faculty council advisor seat are at stake in the election. Petitions are due by noon Oct. 24.

President Mason Fuller did not attend the meeting and had no communications for the senate.
