<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Looks good. The notes are very helpful. Good to see this on the FACTC listserv, especially the suggestion to see if Faculty can join each college’s team for the schedule of visits to the Legislature.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

FACTC might be interested that she used the time specifically to ask for full funding of Faculty salaries. Her testimony starts at 1:55:40.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
