Discussion of Additional Issues for 2011-12 Senate/Committee Consideration
- Senate Leadership and Board Representative Election Scheduling:
Ken Swalagin and Natalie Borisovets, acting as members of this year's
Nominating Panel, suggest that the University Structure and Governance
Committee be charged with exploring the feasibility of moving the
Senate's leadership and board representatives election from the last
meeting of the year to the morning of the President's Address meeting
in September. At the time the Nominating Panel last met to draft a slate
of candidates for those positions this year, a very large number of
units had not elected their Senators or reported election results. This
is a perennial problem which needs to be addressed.
