Campus Notes Bollinger plans commission on 'U' technology University President Lee Bollinger announced in a written statement Wednesday that a University commission is being formed to focus on the information revolution. Although the Internet will take up much of the focus of the commission, he hopes that the commission will transcend that issue in its exploration of information technology. Bollinger said the exponential increase in human communication may have a profound impact on the world. Commission members will be researching how to address the potential human behavior changes due to the creation of technology and distance learning.
