Motion to follow up on the TLTR question by getting two people from the Technology and Pedagogical Resources Committee to serve as TLTR representatives, with one as co-chair, as an interim position on the issue in order to give us time to develop a long-term solution. (Kilborn/Foster) passed.

Notes: MnSCU mandated this committee, TLTR, to develop campus technology policies. Our position is not an endorsement of the current situation, but a temporary solution.
