'Steerers' |
|||
Discussion: Several agenda (information) items were not addressed at the past Faculty Senate meeting due to time restrictions. The members present discussed whether to move this items forward as Action Items or to leave them on as Information Items. The AFTPRS Recommendations will not be included on the Agenda at all. The members will be meeting with Interim Provost Glover and President Machen to further discuss these recommendations. |
||||
Conclusions: The AFTPRS Recommendations will not be included on the Agenda at the 12/16/2004 meeting. The Constitutional Language for Policy Councils will be moved to an Action Item due to the time constraints limiting this item. The Master of Science with a Major in Decision Information Sciences will also be moved to an Action Item and presented for a vote. The other items - the Academic and Professional Assembly and the determination of Assistant In, Associate In and Senior Associate In for faculty inclusion - will remain information items on the December 16 Senate agenda. |
