The committee met with President Mark Yudof to discuss issues and recommendations, including a workshop for University administrators. Revisions made by committee members to the SJC Rules of Procedure were forwarded to the Tenure Committee for approval. The Judicial Committee is an all-faculty committee. Members who served as hearing officers were Professor Laura Cooper, David Lykken, Sharon Satterfield, and George Sheets. Assignment to the Senate Judicial Committee involves important work on issues that arise under the Tenure Code.
Membership entails a significant commitment of time.
The Chair would like to commend members of the 1996-97 Committee for their conscientious dedication to a vital University responsibility. Professor Hy Berman, a CLA Senator, noted the significant difference in the tone of the present meetings as compared to the meetings of the past year or two. It is a remarkable transformation, he said, and credit for this should be given to the Faculty Senate and President Yudof.
