With regard to the Academic Priorities policy, the committee charged with reviewing departmental documents should not take the form of a Select Committee of the Faculty Senate but should be a Senate Committee of seven, consisting of one representative of each academic College, with each College's representative to be selected (in accordance with local College policies for a selection of this nature) by the Academic Council or equivalent body of the College. All other duties and processes should remain unchanged.
