Senate Doc. # 13

                     Executive Committee Document #2
                      Revision of Senate Document #5


The Executive Committee after consultation with the Chancellor 
recommends the Senate adopt the following replacing Senate Document 
#5 (1985-86):

The following changes are to be made to SD 35 (1981-82) on the
University Planning Council: 

    Add to Document #35 on page 2 at the end of the section 
    entitled "On-Going Planning Process" the following statement:

    The Faculty Senate Executive Committee will review all Planning 
    Council recommendations, reporting to the Senate and forwarding 
    recommendations from the Planning Council for Senate action as 
    deemed appropriate by the Executive Committee.  Proposals from
    the Planning Council which are required by other University
    Policies to be acted on by the Senate (such as proposals for new
    degree programs) will be brought before the Senate for action.

    Amend the sentence of this section which begins "The Council's 
    recommendations ..." to read as follows:

    The Council's recommendations will then be forwarded to the 
    Executive Committee and the Chancellor.  Should the Executive
    Committee notify the Chancellor within two weeks that the Senate
    desires to review a recommendation, the Chancellor will normally
    not proceed on the recommendation until time has been allowed
    for this review.

    Rationale:
    The Planning Council was conceived as an extension of the
    Institutional Development Committee of the Faculty Senate which
    is why all IDC members are on the Planning Council and the Second
    Vice Chairman of the Faculty chairs the Planning Council.  It was
    always intended that Planning Council should work closely with
    the Faculty Senate.  The procedure outlined here has in fact been
    the norm and this provision merely formalizes what has been the
    practice.  It is assumed here that the EC will judge for the
    Faculty which matters are significant enough to require formal
    Senate review. 
    
    Planning Council is also in part an extension of the
    administration.  This reporting mechanism will allow
    administration review to proceed at the same time as the faculty
    review.
