The Crimson staff has done an admirable job of covering the situation. It was recommended that the Crimson follow up with more information on Florida Tech's "sister institutions". Related questions may be addressed at the President's upcoming faculty/staff forum.

New Business

---Evans Cafeteria fire - The fire occurred on 1/23 (correct?). SERVPRO originally estimated a short period for cleanup, but changed it to 6-8 weeks for the full job that included construction.

---Regarding the information that is circulating about the anchorage boat house demolition, Gordon Patterson will alert Jay Wilson to the fact that there is a lot of discussion about what is really involved.
There are many stakeholders. Junda Lin oversees the facility.

---The sewage problem in Grissom has been resolved.
