2. Draft Minutes of Meeting #386 were approved, Motion by John Warren, Seconded by Joy Haralick.
- Dr. Joan Williamson took the floor to announce the new Senate Officers and to administer the election of University Committees. Dr. Williamson distributed a ballot with the names of individuals to elect for vacant or vacating positions on University Standing Committees. The names were those received from faculty members across campus volunteering for service on one or more of the Committee in which they have an interest. Everyone voted and returned the ballot to a ballot box. The Governance Committee counted the votes and reported the names of those elected for the positions on the University Standing Committees. Dr. Williamson then announced the election results for the Faculty Appeals Committee.
- Dr. Williamson then distributed a ballot for Senate Committees. The Governance Committee had gone through and selected those individuals who had shown an interest or indicated an interest in various Committees. The names of the individuals were then listed under that Committee. Everyone present was given an opportunity to move their name from one Committee to another. Everyone is on at least one Committee. Some areas with a small number of Senators (such as the Library or Nursing) have Senators on more than one Committee. These Senators may choose a permanent proxy for one of the Committees. The motion was made by Dr. Leonard and seconded by Dr. Delugach to accept the Senate Committees as presented.
- The Committees then caucused to elect a Chair. All information was given to the secretarial staff for future distribution and notification.
6. A combined Executive Committee Lunch was announced for the following Thursday, May 15, 1997. All were encouraged to attend to set the schedule for next year and to discuss business for next year.
