Senate would like Administration to research this stance with possible movement. The switch from the semester system to the trimester has been discussed in the past with no formal action taken. A lot of the decision relies on state funding. There are concerns for graduation ceremonies. To better facilitate graduates and their guests, faculty are asked to consider holding two separate ceremonies.
Alternative suggestions are welcome.
The issue will be reconsidered by Senate at a later date. Nominations need not be brought through Senate. Nominations are submitted to President Remington's office with a committee review of all applications to determine a school candidate. Volunteers for this committee are being sought. No nominations were brought forward.
