<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Discussion, not a vote.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suspect that each of us is waiting for a first
vote to get a sense of direction.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. It is clear from Bob Bauer's email that the work
was not a directed assignment.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. The most useful information seems to be
Barbara's summary of Larry's verbal comments.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. But, there does not seem to be any
substantiation of Barbara's question about the work being done during "off"
hours and with personal computers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Andy's statement about using University
computers and negative comments about bureaucratic roadblocks did not help me
understand. I did not see how "waste" would occur by being careful of
separating individual effort from university supported.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My assessment:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The work was not an assignment and personal, not
university, supplies were used.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But, university computers were used, implying that
the work was performed during normal working hours. There is no statement
about "weekends, evenings and summer months" as Barbara suggested.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Based on what I read, it looks like "university
assisted" effort because they used "paid time within the employment period" and
used VSU computers. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Alternatively, since the phrase "other than office"
is used in the policy, one could define that to include a work computer,
assuming that no resources were used except electricity (vs. telecommunication
services that implies charges). I think that mitigates the PC, but not the
time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Am I assessing too rigidly?</FONT></DIV>
