This amendment applies to the advisory panel, which is just three persons. My concern is that if we state specifically who one of those persons should be, will other sectors say they should be on it as well? The advisory panel on qualifying as a technological university is a very small group. I have some concern that we should be specifying what group any one of those three would represent. With all due respect to students, there would be others who would feel that if others are given a particular status here, they should be as well.
