Agenda Items

The committee discussed how to make the current entry page: https://inno.dartmouth.edu/ go away while still providing staff access to "Staff Functions" and "Not Fully Implemented Features" using as the entry page: https://inno.dartmouth.edu/screens/staff.htmlinstead. This will be implemented today.
