i. Representing the institutional review board, the faculty senate approved the changing of the appointments from the faculty senate to the appointed institutional official, appointments usually happen in September and sometimes October but normally they should have already gone through training, the rational behind this is a that it is a federally mandated committee and there have been a lot of problems with appointments meeting their quorum.
