  <title><![CDATA[Faculty Invited to Town Halls]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Two town hall meetings have been scheduled to discuss substantial revisions to the Faculty Handbook. The town halls will be held in the Student Center Theater on&nbsp;Jan. 23 at 11 a.m. and on Jan. 31&nbsp;at 3 p.m.</p><p>The goal of the revisions is to make the publication more concise and easier to understand. The <a href="http://dev2013facultyhandbook.gatech.edu/faculty-handbook">Draft 2013 Faculty Handbook</a> may be viewed at the website listed below. The site provides a comparison guide of the two handbooks, background information and the ability to provide feedback.</p><p>A motion to accept this proposed edition will be presented for a first reading and vote at the Feb. 19 meeting of the General Faculty. The second reading and vote will occur at the April 23 meeting.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
