常务会议:无报告. However, Diann did attend the monthly Provost lunch.  午餐包括教务长, 教务委员会主席, 教职员评议会主席, and the president of Council of Instructional Departments (CID). The university president will begin attending these monthly lunches, too.

社区服务委员会: 斯泰西·格兰杰 announced the following:

• Food drive to restock the Cardinal Pantry 8/30 – 9/17
  • An announcement will be put in the Weekly Campus announcements
  • Take pics when you make a donation and submit it to Staff Council for a chance to win some LU swag
  • Dimples announced that the LU Bookstore would accept a PO from Lamar and that we would just need to pick out what we wanted, 他们会把它放在一边
  • We are waiting on approval from Finance to process the PO. 如未获批准, Diann suggested that the Staff Council members donate a few dollars each to go towards the purchase of the swag prize.
• VFW Lids for Benches – this was given under the Staff Relations report by 葆拉·格雷戈里 and 艾丽西亚·哈格里夫斯
  • The campus is partnering with Pepsi to collect plastic lids for benches. Many cities in Texas do not allow the homeless to sleep on park benches.  100 pounds of lids will make one bench.

  • The dining hall has also agreed to collect lids.

    • The equipment will be removed from the lot.
    • The entry gate arm will be re-installed by the end of the week.
    • The lot will revert back to a reserved, gated lot for the start of the Fall semester.
  • ADA与轮椅无障碍
    • Kyle Mutz (guest at Staff Relations Committee meeting 8/5/21) was glad to partner with the Staff Relations Committee in addressing the ADA issues on campus.
  • While the 浴室 are ADA compliant, they are not all wheelchair accessible.
  • There is good verbiage in the new strategic plan addressing accessible issues (doors, 浴室, 人行道).
    • 佩尔·戴安博士. Brenda Nichols stated that the covered walkways were torn down due to structural concerns and will not be replaced. 也, the covering over the key gates is on the list, but it is very expensive and not high in priority.
