With the holiday season approaching, the need for local food drives and other food donations are in more demand than ever this year.

According to a flier the group handed out in October, Food Matters thrives “through experiencing, discussing, growing, selling and cooking good food.” Food Matters is an exciting and rewarding program that anyone can join or support.
Faculty members will continue to discuss their thoughts on the proposed Sook Academic Center for student-athletes at the November Faculty Senate meeting Monday night.During the October meeting, several faculty members expressed concerns that the new building was planned without their input and that the facility created segregation between athletes and other students.Bill Reader, an associate professor of journalism, said at that meeting that the building of a separate academic facility for athletes would create a “caste” system that would give athletes “preferential” treatment. Ohio Athletics already has an academic center for student athletes in Peden Center which officials say is too small.Since the October meeting, athletics has said only academic employees — like tutors for student athletes — of the athletics department will work in the Sook Center, not faculty. Officials have not enumerated the specifics of how the building will be funded, beyond saying only private donations will be used for the building’s construction.

Ruth Palmer, chair of Faculty Senate’s Educational Policies and Student Affairs Committee, said she and Compton were aiming to have a draft of the revised code ready for Monday’s meeting.Chief Human Resource Director Colleen Bendl and Benefits Director Greg Fialko will also present an update on the Benefits Advisory Council.The council aims to analyze and give recommendations for university benefit plans based on principles set by McDavis’ office.
