2.     2. EBOC follow-up

- What happened at the old meeting? Address the history of our discussion with the Dean.

- What everyone else is doing (state of the benchmarks)

- What we are doing (state of MIT: bad in all areas)

- What we are proposing that they offer in a given timeline.

- Short Term Strategy: This term, back-up childcare, amenities for students

- Back up slides to have details on the Co-op, contact the Early Education Childcare (EEC) to get the licencing fees

- After this we are thinking to meet with Ortiz, Grimsom, + few others to make a joint discussion; or perhaps create a working group
