Report on Charge
S-0209, Status of Hispanic/Latino Faculty and Administrators
Original Charge: Evaluate the status of Hispanic/Latino
faculty university-wide with respect to salaries, hires, start-up funds,
promotion rates (particularly from associate to full professorship), research
support (particularly in Newark and in Camden), and leadership opportunities.
The study should also examine the status of Hispanic/Latino university
administrators at Rutgers. The Office of Institutional Research has
information on this subject, and should be consulted at the beginning of
the work on this charge. Report to Senate Executive Committee by
February 2003.
Student Affairs Committee, Tahirah Cooper and Matthew Ramsay, Co-chairs
Nominations for Student Charter Trustee 2003 - Four
Student Governing Associations each submitted to the Senate Secretary a
nomination for the position of Student Charter Trustee. Those nominees
were sent to the Student Affairs Committee for review, evaluation, and
determination of eligibility. The Student Affairs Committee has forwarded
three of the nominees (one having not met the requirement of completion
of two years as a Rutgers student), and requests that the Executive Committee
advance those nominations to the Board of Trustees. (The list of
nominees will be distributed at the meeting.) Summary
of Student Charter Trustee nomination process.
All Standing Committees
-
Responses from Committee Chairs on charge asking for prioritized list
of restructuring questions/issues to be explored by individual committees,
and timelines for reporting on those issues. (Hardcopies of any
responses received will be distributed at the meeting.)
Original Charge: To ALL committee CHAIRS: Review
the attached list of questions relating to the proposed restructuring outlined
in the Report of the New Jersey Commission on Health Science, Education
and Training. These questions are the result of extensive information-gathering
among the University community which was conducted by the central administration,
and augmented by questions from the Senate. In consultation with
your co-chair and possibly members of your committee, decide which of these
questions fall within the purview of your committee, and assess whether
your committee can address them in a reasonable amount of time. The
Executive committee has identified some charges as corresponding to specific
standing committees (See list below). These are for your assistance
only and are neither mandatory nor all-inclusive. Of those questions
you select, prioritize the items so the most time-sensitive can be addressed
first. Suggest a timeframe in which to prepare a report on your selected
items to the Senate Executive Committee. Submit a prioritized list
of items your committee will address, and the reporting timeframe, to the
Senate Executive Committee.
