Since Senate elections make use of brief bio-sketches from all nominees, please submit one below, in the space provided, if nominating yourself. If nominating someone else, please make sure they are aware of this practice so they may submit a bio-sketch soon after they are nominated. Variations in the number of vacancies on a given committee may result from unit elections not having determined the Senate status of some existing Committee members. A slate of nominees for the Faculty Grievance Committee and for the Athletic Association Board of Directors will be distributed in the near future for election by the Faculty Assembly. All discussions tend to be vigorous, thoughtful and undertaken with a requisite sense of humor.
All members contribute on an equal basis and attendance tends to be outstanding.
This is an excellent place to learn and hone faculty leadership skills, usually in conjunction with simultaneous service on at least one other FS Com or Univ-Wide Com. The purpose of the Academic Programs Committee is to review new degree programs, certificate programs, institutes and centers. Recommendations are made to the Faculty Senate. The committee also establishes policy for these reviews. Policies are now in place for all of the above reviews, which are available on the web through the Provost's web site.
