I think the idea of a faculty committee is a good idea.  We have tried to
pursue this ourselves because we now report through the financial wing and we
feel we need the direct contact with the faculty in an advisory capacity.  It
will help us spread the word of new developments and, in addition to getting
feedback on the quality of our services, I believe the commitee will act as
advocates for our needs, as well.
