TEXT OF E-MAIL FROM SENATOR PETER SIMMONS, DATED SEPTEMBER 7, 2005, REGARDING SENATE COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION OF ACE "AGENDA FOR EXCELLENCE" REPORT

Last February (Feb.  11, 2005)  the Chronicle of Higher Education reported  the publication of a report  from the American Council on Education, (Office of Women in Higher Education) and the Alfred O. Sloan Foundation   entitled "An Agenda for Excellence:  Creating  Flexibility in Tenure-Track Faculty Careers."   This report is available on the Chronicle's web site under "archives."  It is probably on the ACE web site.  I  urge  the Senate Executive Committee to take a look at it and  send it to the appropriate Senate Committee(s) for review and evaluation.  Thanks for your assistance.  Peter
