Membership has not been distributed evenly among the colleges. In the future, there will be rotating terms and even representation from the colleges. The president will ask the Faculty Senate to name the faculty members and the Student Senate to name the students. The provost or his designee has recently been added as a member. The group currently has no chair and is convened by Gregg Sanborn.
Decisions are by consensus.
On the Space Allocation, Repair and Renovation Committee, a faculty seat had been added when the Budget and Planning Committee asked that its chair be included. A request was made today for rotation of that seat among all constituencies, but faculty responded that the task of the Faculty Senate is to see to the academic mission of the university and space is central to that mission. Only the vice presidents have a vote on this committee. The question of rotation will be held until a later date. The Athletic Advisory Committee has five faculty seats, one of which is currently vacant.
