ACADEMIC PLANNING, RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT, AMENDMENT OF |
The Faculty Senate amends the policy on Academic Planning, Resource Allocation and Enrollment Management as follows:
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.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION FOR
FS 11/12-14:
Amendment Regarding the Selection Process and Membership
of the Committee Charged with Making Recommendations for the Academic Planning,
Resource Allocation and Enrollment Management Ranking in Accordance with the
Criteria Specified in the Policy
The Issues (in order
of importance):
1. There is a need to seek expertise outside of the
Senate membership.
2. There is a need for the Academic Planning, Resource
Allocation and Enrollment Management to maintain a strong relationship to the
Senate.
3. There is a need to encourage university-wide rather
than college-based perspective.
4. There is a need for inclusion of members from each of
the colleges for information purposes.
The Faculty Senate amends the
policy on Academic Planning, Resource Allocation and Enrollment
Management as follows:
Membership of the committee shall consist of:
· Up to seven tenured/tenure-track faculty members from the college-based pool of nominations. No more than one from each College.
· Up to two tenured/tenure-track electing unit Senate representatives appointed from the pool of senate nominees. The two senate appointees shall not be from the same College.
