Charge:

To consider the invitation to join the COIA, and to provide a recommendation to the Senate. As part of its investigation, the working group should

•  consult with Faculty Senate constituencies as well as other potentially affected parties (including, but not limited to, President, Athletics Director, and Faculty Athletics Representative) regarding any relevant issues
• evaluate the amount of ongoing work and commitment required of the Faculty Senate to engage in COIA, if Rice were to participate;
•  provide a list of advantages and disadvantages related to joining the COIA, along with its own recommendation.
• The working group is expected to submit its report by February 1, 2014.
