face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I think this will be a
positive development, if it survives. Is that your take too? A
lot hinges on how we define "Teaching Assistants" on our
campuses. We currently define them as those who are in charge of
a class, i.e., named as instructors of record. Some campuses
have only two classifications: TA or RA. We have three: GA, TA,
and RA.<br>

Just a quick FYI to make sure that Senate Bill 76 is on your
radar. It wasn't for me until recently. Our comptroller and I
just finished up a review to provide the Legislative Fiscal
Office with the potential fiscal impact of the bill to our
institution.
