Recommendation from University Safety and Environmental Committee
to Charge
Departments the Cost of Identifying and Disposing of Unknown
Materials and/or Wastes -
Jim Cobb
Mr. Cobb said the University Safety and Environmental Committee
is requesting that approval be given to charge departments the
cost of identifying and disposing of unknown materials and/or
wastes. He said a year ago they had requested that an item be
added to the exit interview checklist to include a provision for
the inspection of employee work areas, laboratories, storerooms,
etc., if the employee has used or generated materials, hazardous
chemicals, and/or hazardous waste to ensure that these items are
properly labeled, capped, and stored. He said this is working
well and the committee would like more help to charge departments
for submitting unknown materials for disposal. This charge
process would be effective July 1, 1998. Dr. Ballal MOVED
approval of the recommendation with Mr. Boucher SECONDING. When
asked about cost, Mr. Cobb said he feels current cost would be
less than $100 each item. After considerable discussion
concerning this matter, Dr. Schrader MOVED to TABLE the
recommendation with Dr. Cho SECONDING. MOTION CARRIED.
Such Other Matters
Dr. Brown distributed copies of the proposed Revised Tenure and
Promotion Policies referred from the Academic Council for the
November 19 meeting of the University Assembly.
The meeting adjourned at 3:25 p.m.
