The Senate Executive Committee will discuss with the Conference Committee possible revisions to the PTR Document from the Senate Conference Committee. The Senate Executive Committee will also prepare a revision of the existing Post Tenure Review Regulations. We will consult widely on both of these documents and we welcome input from any member of Assembly. We plan to have a draft of both documents on the web by Wednesday April 28 for comment and feedback by all concerned. We plan to have final versions posted a week later by Wednesday May 5.
Hard copies are available upon request.
Both revised documents will be presented formally to the Senate at its next meeting on 12 May 1999. The second will be an updated version of the current PTR policies. The Senate Executive Committee believes there are some potential problems with the PTR Document from the Senate Conference Committee, both technical and interpretative that may cause difficulties in the future. However, we also strongly believe that any revision to the PTR Document from the Senate Conference Committee must have the prior approval of the Senate Conference Committee before it is presented to the full Senate. The Senate Executive Committee believes that the most efficient way to proceed is to first have an informal meeting between representatives of both committees.
