REGULAR AGENDA
| FS 05-09/Flr. | APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF MARCH 3, 2005 |
| FS 05-10/Ex. | MOTION TO RECONSIDER FS 05-05B (UNIVERSITY NAME CHANGE, REQUEST FOR REFERENDUM) |
Background: At its March 3, 2005 meeting, the Faculty Senate approved FS 05-05A, University Name Change, Resolution in Opposition and FS 05-05B, University Name Change, Request for Referendum. On March 15, 2005, the Faculty Senate received a memorandum (Attachment A) from President Alexander Gonzalez, detailing his decision not to pursue the recommendation forwarded by the Branding Committee to change the official name of the university from California State University, Sacramento to Sacramento State University. Since the President has decided to not pursue a change in the official name of the university and will not forward a proposal related to a name change to the Board of Trustees, a faculty referendum is now unnecessary.
The Faculty Senate requests reconsideration of FS 05-05B, University Name Change, Request for Referendum.
| FS 05-05B/Flr. | UNIVERSITY NAME CHANGE, REQUEST FOR REFERENDUM |
The Faculty Senate refers the following matter to referendum:
| FS 05-06/Flr. | COMMITTEE ON COMMITTEES |

(Print the attachment and remove it from your agenda to use as a ballot.) Members must be available to meet two Tuesdays in the spring semester from 3:00-4:00 p.m.).
2005-2006 BUDGET UPDATE - 3:45 - STEVE GARCIA, VICE PRESIDENT, ADMINISTRATION AND BUSINESS AFFAIRS
FIRST READING
| FS 05-11/Ex. | FACULTY SENATE ADVISING INITIATIVE |
Background: During the fall semester, the Senate Chair and the Vice President for Academic Affairs co-chaired the Task Force for Student Success to continue examination and implementation of a set of recommendations laid out in the CSU Report on Facilitating Graduation (2002). The Task Force considered recommendations in three areas: first year experiences for freshmen and transfer students; advising and roadmaps in general education, pre-major to major transitions, etc; and degree audits/transfer credit evaluations processes. This initiative was developed by the Executive Committee after it identified carryover funds available in the Senate Budget and secured a commitment of matching funds from the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
The Faculty Senate recommends adopting the policy on advising as outlined in Attachment C.
| FS 04-66/APC, Ex. | ACADEMIC CALENDARS, 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 |
Background: At the November 18, 2004 Faculty Senate meeting, the Academic Policies Committee was asked to consider various options modifying the traditional academic calendar, i.e., shift spring break to coincide with the Cesar Chavez Holiday, extend the two-day Thanksgiving Break to the full week, including the preceding Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and insert a three-day Fall Break in the middle of the semester. The pros and cons of each option is outlined in Attachment D.
The Faculty Senate recommends adoption of the proposed 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 academic calendars (Attachment D-1).
