University Structure and Governance Committee - Gary Gigliotti, Committee Chair:  Partial Response to Charge S-0603, Distribution and Election of Student Senators in New Brunswick - Bylaws changes are proposed in this report, so it is being introduced at this meeting, but will not be acted upon until the February meeting (in accordance with Senate and parliamentary procedures). This report will be introduced and discussed, but not voted upon, at today's meeting.

Original Charge (to which today's report is a partial response only): Senate Membership-New Brunswick: Make recommendations for revision of the Senate membership and bylaws in light of the restructuring of the New Brunswick schools and colleges.

Original Charge: Targum: Assess whether Rutgers Newark and New Brunswick students believe Targum provides a quality newspaper which serves their academic needs efficiently and effectively, and whether Targum's current optional yearly fee is appropriate relative to Targum's value. In formulating its report, the SAC should consider Targum's Concept Plan, and should consult, both within and outside of its meetings, students from Rutgers' Newark and New Brunswick campuses. Targum should also be invited to send a representative from its staff and/or board to attend a SAC meeting at which this issue will be discussed.
