Minutes
- The meeting was called to order at 1:00 pm by Jed Keesling.
- There were no corrections or additions to the minutes of February 8, so those minutes stand approved. They will be forwarded to Jeff Stevens for posting at the committee website.
- Proposed revisions of several sections of the CLAS Constitution were discussed. There was a brief discussion of the Preamble. There were no suggestions for improvement. The Preamble is likely in final form except for minor revisions.
- There was a brief discussion of the proposed revision for the Committee on Promotion and Tenure. There were no suggestions for improvement. This section is likely in final form except for minor revisions.
- There was considerable discussion about the Faculty Rights and Responsibilities. Jed suggested that the proposed wording should be posted at the wiki website. It would be easier to propose changes of wording on line.
- Ron Randles reported about his discussion with Albert Matheny about the status of the members of the Advising Center. These members would not be Faculty by the proposed definition. There was consensus to keep the proposed wording defining the Faculty of the College.
- Jed asked
what other revisions should be made to the CLAS Constitution to finish
the work of the Task Force on this project. There were four areas that
need to be considered in addition to the ongoing discussion of Faculty
Rights and Responsibilities (Article II.A). These are:
- Article II, C,D
- Article III Departments, Programs, Centers, and Institutes
- Article V Elections and Nominations
- Article VI Amendments
- John Leavey will cobble together a version of the proposed Constitution. It will be color-coded to indicate which sections are complete and which are tentative.
- Next meeting Jed will bring his laptop and Ron will secure a projector for the room so that revisions can be made during the meeting working with the documents at the wiki site. By the end of next meeting we should be able to anticipate how much more work is needed and produce a timeline for completion of the work.
- The meeting was adjourned at 1:50 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Jed Keesling, Chair
CLAS Task Force on Shared Governance
