FS 11-13A/Flr. |
WAIVER OF FIRST READING OF FS 11-13 |

|
FS 11-13/CPC/Ex. |
PROGRAM PROPOSALS |
The Faculty Senate recommends approval of
the Multiple Subject Teacher Preparation-Bilingual Authorization program
proposal contingent upon the word "OR" being removed from the end of
EDBM 175 and being placed at the end of EDBM 172.
The
proposal can be found at Attachment
B.
Background: This
is a "structural" change in the program proposal - however it is
apparently the result of a "cut and paste" error in the form's
preparation and has been confirmed by the Executive Committee in consultation
with representatives from the program in question. While this is an unusual way to fix a
structural error, it is a very simple change and it is far more expedient than
sending it back through six levels of review and increasing multiple committee
workloads, and all parties are in agreement with the substance of the change.
Carried unanimously.

Authority
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is the University’s authorized
body for charged with the implementation of federal, state, and
campus regulations and policies to safeguard the rights and welfare of human
subjects participating in research activities by the University or its
affiliates.
Any and all research conducted by Sacramento State faculty,

involving human subjects that utilizes Sacramento State time, personnel,
facilities, resources, and/or students must be reviewed by the IRB to

BY-LAWS CHANGE – ABSENCES |
Background: It is the
responsibility of faculty members serving in Senate appointments to attend
committee meetings as they are regularly scheduled. All efforts should be made
by the appointee to determine their availability to attend meetings. If they
feel that appointment conflicts with other obligations in such a way that they
will be consistently absent, they should consider alternative service
opportunities and relinquish their seat on the Standing Policy Committee or
subcommittee.
The Senate recommends an amendment to the bylaws to include the following statement on absences.
If a member of a Standing Policy Committee or subcommittee is absent from three or more meetings in a semester without prior notification to the chair, the chair may request that the Executive Committee declare the seat vacant. After notifying the absent committee member of the Executive Committee’s contemplated action and giving the member a chance to respond, the Executive Committee may declare the seat vacant. If a seat is declared vacant, the Senate Executive Committee shall replace that person using the previous years’ Committee Preference Poll as a guide.
Carried unanimously.
