1. |
| |
Student members shall have voting privileges on Faculty Senate
committees, and notation of these privileges shall be included in the
Governance Manual. |
|
| |
[JSCC Tang/Haugh motion passed unanimously. Rationale:
Unless students are given a vote, they do not perceive themselves as bona
fide participatns in the committee process.] |
|
| |
|
2. |
| |
At least one student alternate shall be added to each Faculty Senate
committee. |
|
| |
[JSCC Dorman/Erickson motion passed unanimously.
Rationale: Alternate members would attend meetings and
would assume the voting privileges of student members who, for various
reasons, might not be able to attend meetings. In situations where a
regular student member needed to be replaced, the alternate would take
over for him/her on the committee. |
|
| |
|
3. |
| |
All student terms on Faculty Senate committees shall be extended to
two years. |
|
| |
[JSCC Cawley/Dorman motion passed unanimously.
Rationale: At present, virtually all student terms on
Faculty Senate committees are for the duration of only one year. A second
year on committee would allow students to become more familiar with
committeee policies and practices. (The Committee also recommended that,
when feasible, overlapping terms be implemented.)] |
|
| |
|
4. |
| |
The chairperson of each Faculty Senate committee shall submit to the
chairperson of the Joint Senate Conference Committee his/her committee's
recommendation regarding the optimal number of student members on the
committee. |
|
| |
[JSCC Erickson/Haugh motion passed unanimously.
Rationale: As different committees have different
functions, some more related to students than others, the JSCC felt that
the determination of the number of student members could best be made by
the individual committees. (Although not part of this motion, it would be
advisable for each committee to make this determination prior to the end
of the Spring 1995 semester.)] |
1. |
| |
Student terms on Faculty Senate committees will be for the
academic calendar year (i.e., the beginning of September through
the end of August). |
|
| |
[If this change were implemented, Student Senate committee elections
would be held during the last meeting in May. This change would increase
consistency between Student Senate committees and Faculty Senate
committees. Moreover, Faculty Senate committees occasionally have
meetings during the summer months, and, in the past, have often not had
student representation at those summer meetings.] |
|
| |
|
2. |
| |
At the suggestion of the Student Leadership Task Force, the JSCC
discussed and endorsed the concept of student team leaders for Faculty
Senate committees. |
|
| |
[The JSCC recommends that the chairperson of each Faculty Senate
committee identify a student committee member who would act in the
capacity of a team leader. This student would be mentored by the faculty
chairperson and would be given specific duties related to the committee
and to apprising the Student Senate of the activities of the committee.] |
|
| |
|
3. |
| |
Students should be made aware that membership on Faculty Senate
committees is not limited to Student Senate members. |
|
| |
[This fact should be publicized to the student body, as many students
are currently under the impression that Student Senate membership is a
requirement for Faculty Senate committee service.] |
|
| |
|
4. |
| |
Descriptive information about Faculty Senate committees should be
available to students to facilitate their choosing to serve on Faculty
Senate committees that reflect their own personal interests. |
|
| |
[Students should have access to descriptions of Faculty Senate
committees' membership, functions, etc. Students should also be
encouraged to contact faculty chairpersons and faculty members of Faculty
Senate committees to gain fmore specific information about the
committees. |
