The next Academic Senate meeting is October 28 at 10:00 am in DW 1001. The agenda for the October meeting can be found on the Senate blog. The Zoom link will be added to the Senate blog the day before the meeting. We will be discussing the new proposal for instituting a capacity model, which concerns the course release for research or creative activity given to tenured faculty. Please come and learn more about this important topic.
Reminder: In moving towards our goal of a full return to campus, our plan is to hold all Senate meetings in person. Most regular business will be carried out through discussion and votes by the faculty present in the room. There will be a passive Zoom option for those who can’t attend but want to stay informed about Senate business. We want to be clear about what a passive option means:
- You will not be able to ask questions through the chat.
- We will not be adding any chat comments and questions to the minutes.
- You will not be able to vote on issues decided during the meeting. For important issues (elections, Constitution changes, etc.) we will still send out a ballot to all faculty.
- Joining Zoom will not count as attendance at the meeting. Please remember we need at least 50 voting members for a quorum to conduct business and join us in person if you can.
See you on Friday!
