SENATE From the Senate Office

Special Meeting of the Senate Executive Committee Meeting

Tuesday, March 3, 1998 - 12-1:30 p.m.

Faculty Senate Office, 210 Houston Hall

 

Agenda

Discussion on partial report from the Senate Committee on Administration

Council Open Discussion Period

Building on University Community interest in the Open Forum (Council meeting of January 28, 1998), the Steering Committee of the University Council, at its meeting of February 25, 1998, unanimously agreed to devote 15 minutes of each University Council meeting, beginning with Council on April 22, to respond to issues presented by any member of the University Community. We ask that you send your issue/question to your constituency chair who will take responsibility for collecting information for a response and bringing the question and relevant information to Steering for additional input. Steering will then place items on the Council agenda under the "question and answer" time slot, according to the order in which items are received. Should the issue be one that Steering decides needs broad deliberation and discussion by Council, it will be scheduled as a separate agenda item for a forthcoming Council meeting, as promptly as is possible.

This innovation is dedicated to Council's expressed interest in providing a direct route for Community members to bring issues of importance to Council and receive a timely response. Furthermore, we appreciate the opportunity to be responsive to written communication, in this case Daily Pennsylvanian editorials, calling for broader participation in Council.

Please address your questions in typewritten form through campus mail, or through e-mail to your consituency chairs.
