- The files are in pdf format and stored on a shared Google drive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Each academic year has a folder and each meeting of that year can be found within that folder with a pdf of the full packet of meeting materials. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A pdf of the full meeting packet will be named with the day, month and year it corresponds to (e.g. 7 OCT 2025). Some meeting folders contain multiple files when the meeting packet was originally provided to the faculty as multiple single documents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Meeting minutes are stored with the meeting which they were voted on (e.g. minutes for a September meeting will be found with the October meeting packet).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Files may not be modified and should not be shared outside the faculty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Additional academic years will be added as resources allow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Alternatively, the files may also be accessed directly through Google Drive by clicking on \u201cShared Drives\u201d and then \u201cFaculty Meeting Records.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
