Items you'd like brought to the Statewide Exec. Board meeting on 8/16

• P. Manaka, UC Irvine, requested that the LAUC divisions address a report from UC Berkeley which states that although librarians are academic employees, they are not members of the Academic Senate and therefore, don't have a voice in the governance of the university. Each campus is to review the report and provide feedback.
