FACULTY SENATE

SENSE OF THE SENATE RESOLUTION

Disposition of Senate Business During the Summer April 23, 1998

Whereas: The State-Wide Articulation Agreement is initiating many changes in Curriculum and Policy for Undergraduate Education, and

Whereas: With the implementation of the Articulation Agreement becoming effective Fall 1998, and

Whereas: Because many of the Policy and Curriculum Changes must be initiated and/or endorsed by the Faculty Senate, and

Therefore, be it resolved that:

The Faculty Senate of the University of Alabama in Huntsville authorizes the Faculty Senate Executive Committee to act in its behalf to address routine business of a timely nature during the period from 18 May, 1998 to 17 August, 1998. All Senators will be notified in advance, with date and content of the meeting, of all Senate Executive Committee Meetings. Actions of the Senate Executive Committee will be subject to ratification by the full Faculty Senate at the first regular meeting of the Faculty Senate in the Fall or any called meetings. As required by the Faculty Senate By-Laws all "emergency" issues, particularly those dealing with faculty personnel policies, must be addressed by the full Faculty Senate in a called meeting.
