The statewide Academic Senate's electronic "home-page" has opened for business, with an on-line version of Notice as its first available item. The site can be reached through Netscape or any other Internet "web browser" at the following address: http://www.ucop.edu/senate. Both current and previous issues of Notice are available, and each story in every issue is a "selectable" item. In coming months, the Manual of the Academic Senate also will be available at the same Internet address.
A decision is expected by March on whether the University's Office of the President will stay at its current location in downtown Oakland or move when the lease on its Oakland office space expires in April 1998.

Depending on which site is chosen, UCOP operations may remain under one roof or be divided into two locations.
