And so, I really appreciate each of the Board members, you know, quickly finding some time in their agenda, in their schedules, to be able to meet this morning to consider this particular item. There’s a whole host of faculty at University of Montana up for tenure.  So, its… So, I would entertain a motion to approve consent item a. Staff Item, University of Montana-Missoula.
