FS 11/12-106/SEL: STANDING
RULES: FACULTY SENATE COMMITTEE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART,
EFFECTIVE AY 2013-2014.
The Faculty Senate approves
for implementation in AY 2013-2014 the Faculty Senate Committee Organizational
Chart shown on the following page, which provides that the Senate’s five
existing appointed standing Policy Committees whose Chairs currently serve as
members of the Executive Committee (FPC, APC, CPC, GE/GR, and GSPC) be replaced
by three standing Policy committees to be styled (1) the Academic Affairs
Policies Committee, (2) the Student Affairs Policies Committee and (3) the
Faculty Affairs Policies Committee, with the
several working committees or subcommittees currently reporting to a
Senate standing committee placed under one or another of the three new Policy
committees as shown in the organizational chart and charges of the new Policy
committees, as approved in FS 11/12-101/SEL, FS 11/12-103/SEL, and FS 11/12-104/SEL. The Faculty Senate shall appoint the membership of the
new committees in Spring 2013 for the purpose of election of committee chairs
who shall take office as members of the Executive Committee at noon on the last
day of the Spring 2013 semester, and to ensure that the committees are in place
to conduct regular business at the beginning of AY 2013-2014.
Summary and Rationale for
Changes:
1. Reorganization of Policy Committees and their Charges
a. The structure of the Senate’s Executive Committee does
not at the moment reflect close approximation to the structure of the
University to produce the degree of integration of the work of the several
Committees with the operation of the several segments of the University.
b. Three of the five current standing Policy committees
exercise a partial and therefore incomplete jurisdiction over the curriculum of
the University. To the extent that
curricular matters are not neatly confined to the jurisdiction of a single
committee having something to do with curriculum, consultation among the
committees or sequential action by them becomes necessary.
c.
The delay or
delays in bringing such matters to the Senate occasioned by the need to consult
or coordinate the action of several committees dealing with the same problem is
thought to introduce an inefficiency or inefficiencies into the deliberations
of the Senate that is curable by the recommendation stated above
d. At a time of fiscal constraint when every unit of the
University, including the Faculty Senate, is being required to reduce its
expenditures by a specified percent, the Select Committee constituted in AY
‘09-‘10 to recommend reductions to the Senate’s budget concluded from its study
that the money likely to be available to the Senate in future would be
insufficient to fund three units of assigned time to support the work of each
of five standing committee chairs.
e.
The
recommendation to approve three standing policy committees instead of
maintaining the five standing committees as currently constituted will enable the
Senate to continue to afford something of the assigned time required to support
Committee Chairs who are expected to organize the work of their committees,
attend weekly meetings of the Executive Committee and attend and participate as
members whenever the Senate is convened.
2. Grouping of working committees and subcommittees in
keeping with the subject matter of those Policy Committees
a. In the process of giving effect to the recommendation,
the current organizational chart and the charges of the various working
committees and subcommittees were reviewed.
Adjustments were made in keeping with the focus of the proposed new
Policy Committee charges and the current charges of those working groups
committees and subcommittees.
FS 11/12-107/SEL MOTION TO DISCHARGE THE SELECT COMMITTEE 2011-2012
AND FOR
OTHER PURPOSES.
The Faculty Senate discharges the Select Committee 2011-2012 created by
FS 11-60/Ex
from further consideration of the reorganization of the appointed
standing policy
committees of the Faculty Senate and the several committees and
subcommittees
reporting to them.
The Faculty Senate directs the Senate
Executive Committee to see to the revision of the
charges of the several committees and
subcommittees reporting to the Senate's
appointed standing policy committees to
reflect the action taken by the Senate
in response to the recommendations of the
Select Committee 2011-2012.
The Faculty Senate thanks the members of
the Select Committee 2011-2012 for their service.
