FACULTY
SENATE MINUTES
Dr. George Cronk, Chair of the Senate,
called the meeting to order at
I.
REVIEW OF MINUTES:
The December 9, 2003, Faculty Senate Minutes were approved without
objection.
II.
CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT:
1.
Dr. Cronk reported that the presentation of the
proposed Faculty Constitution for the faculty’s approval has been postponed
until the April 27, 2004, General Faculty Conference. The Constitution
Committee had not focused on “Appendix A,” and questions have been raised
regarding that part of the Constitution. Professor Joan Cohen, the current
Chair of the Nominations and Elections Committee, will join the Constitution
Committee. The Committee wants more time to consider any questions about
“Appendix A” and to see whether the organization and representation plans are
legitimate before bringing it before the entire faculty.
2.
There has been a change in the Tuesday schedule;
namely, Faculty Development Workshop will now meet on April 6, and
Division/Department Meetings (Elect Senators) will be held on April 13. These
two events were switched to avoid the Division/Department meetings being held
on the first day of Passover.
3.
A Senate representative is needed on the Middle States
Steering Committee. An election was held for this position, and three people
were nominated: Gene Calderon, Alan
Kaufman, and Carol Miele. Alan Kaufman
was elected to be the Senate’s representative to the Middle States Steering
Committee.
III.
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Senator Peter Helff, Chair of the Good and Welfare Committee, reported
that both Dr. Carlo Annese and Dr. John Patierno lost a parent last week. A moment of silence was observed in memory of
these parents.
