Senate Document 43                  4/24/86
                  Executive Committee Document #4       
                             1985 - 1986

The Executive Committee recommends that the Faculty Senate appoint 
with the approval of the Vice-Chancellor a faculty member as Editor 
of the Faculty Handbook.  This person would be responsible or 
maintaining the Handbook through annual revisions.  This person 
would report to the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs and the 
Chairman of the Faculty Senate.  The appointment should be for a two 
year term.  The Editor should be eligible for reappointment.

Rationale:

This year on an ad hoc basis Dr. Browning served as Editor of the 
Faculty Handbook.  It has become clear that this is a continuing 
responsibility and that the Handbook should be kept up to date on a 
regualr basis.  The most efficient way of doing this is to assign 
someone the task.  Since the Handbook is of general interest and 
concern to the entire faculty, it is appropriate that the Editor 
should be selected by the Faculty Senate.
