Faculty Senate Resolutions
2004 - 2005


October 11, 2004

Whereas, Staff Council has been concerned that some university employees do not have appropriate on-campus access to computers and time to use them,

*Be it Resolved that the Faculty Senate strongly supports the position of the Staff Council that every employee at Appalachian State University must have guaranteed access to computers and thus to email and internet in order to at the minimum be able to learn about university issues, participate in university affairs, (be advised of university closings, restrictions of services, campus announcements), communicate with others, and keep abreast of university policies pertaining to their jobs.

Rationale:

It is essential that we recognize the importance of appropriate on-campus computer access for all members of the campus community in order that each of us may have equal opportunity to fully participate in the campus community. Currently, there are members of the staff that do not have ready computer access. This motion is intended to provide support to the efforts of the Staff Council and others to ensure appropriate on-campus computer access for all staff.
