of Email from Yuri Jadotte, Chair of the UMDNJ Student Senate,
transmitting recommendations regarding structure of student government
at the School of Biomedical and Health Sciences
Dear
Mr. Ken Swalagin,
I
am contacting you today on behalf of the UMDNJ
Student Senate, the student governing body of UMDNJ. Having reviewed
the
policies of the Rutgers University Senate (RUS) and the law of the New
Jersey
Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act, we submit the
attached
set of recommendations to you for consideration by RUS, perhaps with
initial
review provided by the University Structure and Governance Committee.
It is my
understanding that, as the Executive Secretary of RUS, you are the
primary
contact person for correspondence with RUS.
Our
intent is for these to serve as a potential guide
for RUS and RU as a whole with regards to the structure of student
government
at the Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS). We strongly
believe that
having the policies included in this document in place will help RBHS
and its
students successfully integrate into and function well within Rutgers
University.
I
have cc-ed the Office of the UMDNJ Interim President
Denise Rodgers, as well as the UMDNJ Student Senate Executive Council
so they
remain informed.
Please
let me know how we can proceed with engaging
RUS regarding these ideas. I look forward to your response.
Best
regards,
Yuri
T. Jadotte, MD
