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
