Faculty leaders were not given a copy of the proposed revisions before the meeting and therefore were not able to comment in detail in Morris, Gray said. When they did read the draft, they were most alarmed by section 10.2 on disciplinary actions. Proposed revisions will now go to governance committees, and at least one and perhaps 2 Faculty Senate meetings will be held before regents act on the proposals Oct. 10. Tenure code provides that the regents must give faculty a chance to respond to proposed changes, but the regents have the final authority to act. Legislative request was the other big topic at the meeting in Morris.
Package includes investments in technology, programs, compensation, financial aid, and facilities.
A computer for every student by 1999 is one goal in the proposed legislative request. Regents unanimously approved master plans for all campuses and final 2 critical measures, reviewed in July. Regents elected 7 members to the board of trustees of the proposed Fairview-University Medical Center, a division of Fairview Health System. Board will replace the U Health System's current board of governors as of Jan. 1, 1997. Morrison, Thompson, Ravdin, and Doughterty are also designated for appointment to Fairview Health System's board of governors.
