The following is a summary of the feedback I got to yesterday's
Facforum "Faculty Senate inaugural address", along with my responses.

1) Get the administration to openly discuss before the Senate any planned
major land sales.

My response:  That seems like a fair request, although I think that
the more appropriate way to handle this would probably be a faculty
meeting of the affected college(s) and department(s).  Just today,
the Provost told me that when he tells something to the deans, he
trusts that the information filters down the chain-of-command.  He also
told me that he thought that one proper role of the Faculty Senate
President was to ensure that such information filters to and from the
faculty via the Faculty Senate President.  He plans to make use of me
in that capacity, and I thank him for that.  If I find something out
and get permission to share it, then you'll know it.

On a separate note, I remember several years ago hearing the President
give a 20-year plan for how he wanted the building infrastructure on
campus to change.  It's been a long enough time that perhaps many of us
need a reminder.  Would it be possible to post that PowerPoint
presentation on a web site as a constant reminder of our common FIT
vision?
