		<title>I want to put in a plug for the Staff Senate. A lot of the issues that were discussed here today are the same issues we talk to senior leadership about on a regular basis. We’re accepting nominations for staff senators for our 2013-2015 term. If you’re interested in making a difference here, the Staff Senate is a really good voice for that.</title>

		<title>Is anyone looking into the fact that we’ve had several years with a lack of increases in salaries across the board? This has put us in a situation where we’re not competitive with many other areas of the state and we’re losing staff. Then it’s a complicated situation because of the rules that are in place for hiring staff. It’s a problem in many areas, housekeeping in particular.</title>

		<title>Dr. Perman: I think it’s only appropriate that I say a few words regarding yesterday’s events at the Boston Marathon. This atrocity is very much on our collective minds and I send our condolences to the people of Boston. I’ve had several questions this morning related to what if this happened on our campus? I have asked Chief Williams to respond.</title>

		<title>This question is regarding the construction in the Pratt Street Garage. My primary clinical work is at University Specialty Hospital (USH). If I have a meeting on campus, I often walk but sometimes need to drive.  During construction, I understand that I will first have to go to my usual garage, Penn Street, and then be directed to another garage. This is very inefficient. Could we be allowed to go to one of the peripheral garages to save time? Thanks for taking my question.</title>

		<title>Is the University developing a community involvement inventory, perhaps something similar to Johns Hopkins University&#039;s &quot;Community Engagement Inventory&quot;? Such a report would be useful to students, faculty, and the community. It would be an effective communications tool and help the University assess the scope and, to a lesser degree, the quality of engagement.</title>
