Adler presented a narrative on the revisions made to the policy adding that they wanted to create a mechanism for these centers/institutes to be able to report back to the Senate on a regular basis. -Thorpe indicated that these changes may be problematic for some of the current centers/institutes on campus because their descriptions do not match the specifications listed in the policy and yet their funding is tied to the name.
