Reports from the Chair: Debi Parkhill invited Tommye Miller to the COSA meeting because she had a question about the Christmas 2000 holidays. The recommendation that COSA approved was the 25,26,27,28, and 29 th of December 2000. She was concerned that some areas on campus might not have had a say in this recommendation. She wanted COSA to find ways to make sure that everyone had knowledge of this recommendation. COSA had asked each representative to go back to the areas that they represent and ask for input from staff members. Debi said that COSA would check on other ways to get input from all the staff members on campus about any issues that need to be decided by COSA.
