Donation to library

The council discussed ways to spend the $10,000 gift to the library for the purchase of textbooks. Since textbooks quickly become obsolete as new editions are produced, the library suggested renting the textbooks from online sites by semester. However, it is uncertain how much the library will save from that. The council also debated which kinds of textbooks to get. Ideas suggested include getting introductory course textbooks only and having a student vote.

Board of Managers forum

The Board of Managers informed the council that the president’s office will host a forum for students at 7 p.m. on Wednesday after the Board of Managers meeting to brief students on issues presented during the meeting. The council seeks to have a similar program set up for the faculty.
