<br class="">
Please find a letter from UO’s General Counsel, Ken Reed, regarding the motion on the docket for tomorrow’s meeting, “The UO Senate opposes any further efforts by the UO Administration to limit the availability of the Equal Pay Act’s protections in professional
settings.” <br class="">
<br class="">
See you tomorrow at our <a href="https://senate.uoregon.edu/senate-meetings/2020-2021/april-28-2021-agenda" target="_blank" class="">meeting</a> at 3pm, <a href="https://uoregon.zoom.us/j/95815283199" target="_blank" class="">here</a>. I anticipate the discussion
on the motion in question will begin in the 4:20-4:30 range. Please note that we are moving a couple of agenda items (open discussion about policy changes with the OICRC and a legislative update) to a later meeting to accommodate the busy agenda for April
28. </div>
