a. Procedures for a general faculty vote -
Faculty Senate has charged the Council with a new order of business. They would like the Council to discuss and draft a policy for a general faculty, campus wide vote for specific issues. It should cover criteria, who can vote and how the vote will be conducted.
Bhushan drafted a rough first draft for the Council to consider. There was discussion on who should be able to vote and how many voters would need to vote in order for the Faculty Senate to take action. A revised first draft was completed and the Council members will discuss it with their constituents for feedback.
b. Report from Hatzenbuehler –
The issue will be discussed at the next meeting – April 17, 2003.
III. Adjourn at 3:45.
Respectfully submitted,
Connie Patchin, Secretary
