Six months ago, chancellor, you were here at our hearing regarding the Littmann Commission Report, and you testified at that hearing that that morning you had put in an RFP for a new reporting portal.
1:22:22
And to refresh everyone's memory, this is the portal through which students and faculty can report instances of discrimination.
1:22:30
It was one of the right one of the 13 recommendations of the commission report.
1:22:35
At the time, you had just put out the RFP.
1:22:39
Can you please share with us the status of that contract?
Félix Matos Rodríguez
1:22:43
So that that has been moving along the process and we have can I say that we have identified vendor?
1:22:48
Yes.
1:22:48
I just wanna make sure that I don't mess up any procurement rules, right, that would have me here in trouble.
1:22:54
So we have completed the procurement selection process.
1:22:58
Now we are in the movement with the state controller, all the other steps that need to be taken for that contract to be finalized.
1:23:05
So we are hopeful that we can begin implementing the system when in the fall semester.
