During the school year 2003/2004, the full committee met twice  physically and had exchanges and votes by e-mail.  Two  subcommittees were established and submitted reports to the full committee.

In its first meeting, the committee received the annual report from ITS (see minutes.of 9-18-03)

CF-funded new PCs for faculty offices: A subcommittee evaluated the15 submitted proposals and recommended to fund all of them, with the concurrence of the full committee.

No mandatory PCs for cadets: A subcommittee completed the work of the previous year’s committee and submitted a report. The full committee adopted the subcommittee position that personal computers for cadets should not be mandatory. (See minutes of 4-22-04 for a summary of the report.)

An e-mail suggestion box (for suggestions to the committee) was established at both the committee web page and on the ITS Faculty Computing web page.
