-------------

adding additional material about

sovereign immunity for State institutions, especially in light of the

Florida Prepaid decision last summer. I'm also going to ask him to speak

about library issues and web page ownership, linking, and updates about

what's legal and what's questionable in electronic transmission of data

and other information for Distance Learning. One other item - -I have a

strong interest in privacy of electronic transmissions, both email and.

webpage surfing. I'll ask Bob to talk about First Amendment issues (can

the college "take down" my web page, and the college take action if they

don't like web pages that I visit, etc). Regarding privacy of email - I know the college has the RIGHT to read my email - -I'd like to talk about

language in local policies which will voluntarily limit that right.

I'm also going to schedule a LOT more time for questions this year.
