Below
is the 1998-99 membership of the University Council, the University-wide
governance organization that meets monthly to deliberate on campus issues
and share information on University projects and progress. Council is advisory
to the President, and includes representatives of the Faculty Senate, two
student assemblies and three staff assemblies.
Council's agenda and formal reports, and some of its debate, appear
in Almanac. Meetings are open to observers who register their interest in
advance with the Office of the Secretary (898-7005).
Much of the work of Council is done by its committees, listed on parts
II and III of this
four-part insert. They, and a set of Independent Committees listed
here are selected by the Steering Committee on recommendation of the
Committee on Committees. Any member of the University may be asked to serve
on such a committee, and only members of the University are eligible to
do so. The Committee on Committees will shortly publish its annual call
for nominations to these bodies. Their charges, and many of their past reports,
can be accessed through Almanac's web site, www.upenn.edu/almanac.
The fourth
part of this pullout section lists the Faculty Senate's committees for
1998-99. The work of the Senate Executive Committees and other Senate committees
is reported periodically in Almanac and can be accessed through the same
website, www.upenn.edu/almanac.--Ed. |
