Discussion around the 3 programs specified in the vision statement is a result of looking at what makes Southern different, unique from other institutions. This is a draft, we will revise and then forward to Executive Council for approval. We were directed to write in future tense. The vision statement will be the foundation of other documents we produce. The concept of a vision statement vs. mission statement needs to be emphasized.
Vision statement is brief, powerful.
The mission statement elaborates details. The Bookstore Advisory Committee was charged to draft a code of conduct. Our Code of Conduct is based primarily on University of California code and some others. Senate should endorse the draft and will vote at the next meeting. We should be looking at the Code, not revisiting other issues.
