DISCUSSION ITEMS

UC-Riverside LAUC members have submitted a resolution for consideration by the LAUC statewide assembly, regarding the Patriot Act. The resolution was discussed, with many members expressing support for the intent of the resolution, but dissatisfaction with the wording of the resolution. James Jacobs and Anne Prussing volunteered to draft a statement for the assembly. (Secretary's note: the resolution was amended and passed at the Spring Assembly. The final text may be viewed at: http://www.ucop.edu/lauc/resolution.html)
