Rutgers University Senate
AGENDA
December 9, 2011
Rutgers Student Center, College Avenue Campus, New Brunswick
The Senate's activities for December 9, 2011 will consist of committee meetings and caucuses only. The full Senate will not meet. Please
attend your committee meetings. The Senate's success is highly
dependent on all Senators' levels of participation in their committees'
work. If you have not been involved in your committee, this
committee-focused Senate day is an excellent opportunity to become
active.
COMMITTEE SCHEDULES: Committees
will convene at 10:00 a.m. (unless you have been emailed by your
committee chair that your committee will begin at a different time) in
the Rutgers Student Center (RSC), College Avenue Campus, in the rooms
indicated below. Committee chairs will call for a lunch recess at an
appropriate point during the meeting, and should let you know what time
to return to continue the committee discussions. At 2:00 p.m., caucuses
will begin (rooms also indicated below).
CAUCUSES: Faculty and Student
Caucuses will be held in the Rutgers Student Center Multipurpose Room
(MPR) instead of the usual caucus rooms. The MPR will be divided to
accommodate these two caucuses. If your committee adjourns before 2:00
p.m., please feel free to join other students or faculty in the
Multipurpose Room to discuss any issues of mutual interest until your
caucus begins officially at 2:00. Staff and alumni whose committees
adjourn before 2:00 are invited to gather in MPR Room 407 until your
caucuses begin in the rooms indicated below.
COFFEE will be available in
Room 407 throughout the morning. Because the Budget and Finance
Committee meets on the lower level of the RSC, separate coffee service
will be provided in that room for the BFC members.
ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION: Specific, pending charges currently in the committees are listed online at http://senate.rutgers.edu/pendchgs.html.
If you haven't already done so, please familiarize yourself with the
charges in your committee before Friday. Also, the committees'
standing charges are online at http://senate.rutgers.edu/standchg.html.
Those standing charges should inform discussions as well, particularly
when considering areas and issues that may be explored in the future.
