OLD BUSINESS - COMMITTEE REPORT
University Structure and Governance
Committee (USGC) Response
to Charge S-1403 on Process for Unit Mergers or Other Structural Changes -
Jon Oliver and Robert Puhak, USGC Co-chairs
This report includes changes to Senate
bylaws/related University Policy, so in accordance with established
parliamentary procedure it was introduced at the previous Senate
meeting, and will be voted on at this meeting. The USGC was charged as
follows:
Consider
whether the University Senate
should establish a general procedure, timeline, template and process
for merging, dissolution or making structural changes to any university
unit. Consider how such a process could assist the university and units
in working in a deliberate, consultative and rational way so that all
issues, impacts, concerns and benefits can be properly considered on a
timely basis. Make recommendations on time limits and process.
Instruction,
Curricula and Advising Committee (ICAC) Response
to Charge S-1504 on Determination of Student Attendance -
Natalie Borisovets, ICAC Chair
This
report was postponed from the previous Senate meeting. It has not yet been revised, and was added
late to this agenda in its original form. It is likely that it will be
postponed again to allow advance notice of its docketing. The
ICAC was charged as follows:
Develop
guidelines that would allow units
and individual instructors to comply with U.S. Department of Education
requirements that Rutgers keep records for students receiving federal
financial aid that substantiate students' participatory attendance in
the classes for which they are registered.
