The Faculty Senate should quickly suggest policies. Chair Dumesnil noted that because the Senate does not meet during the summer, November is when we could expect to develop two policies. Dr. Blind emphasized that she would be happy to meet with senate committees as they work on those policies. Policies vary with the colleges. At present it is left up to the Colleges to plan for the classrooms they use.
Deans request funds from that source.
The Academic Affairs Council approved a new suspension policy very similar to what the Senate favored. The policy approved by the AAC will be submitted to the Board of Regents at their July meeting. The Presidential Search Committee, on which Dr. Dumesnil is one of the faculty members, will meet for the first time on May 11. The Faculty Senate's survey of faculty opinion about criteria that should be used in the search is now being mailed. The Regents met April 17-18.
