Senate Doc #1389S

                                                   Approved   3/2/89



                    Faculty Welfare and Development Document #3

             Changes in Composition of the University Planning Council





        The Faculty Welfare and Development Committee recommends the

        following changes to Senate Document #35, 1981-1982 (The UNCA

        Planning Council).  The changes affect only the Membership

        paragraphs.  Suggested additions are underlined and in bold print. 



        These changes add a student representative to the Council in

        response to a request from the 1988-1989 Student Government

        Association.  Changes are to become effective immediately after

        approval by the Faculty Senate and the appropriate administrative

        officer.  



        Membership 



        The composition of the Planning Council is most important.  Because

        the institution by its very nature seeks to educate students the

        majority of the Council should be comprised of faculty with the

        balance of the membership consisting of student body

        representation, administration and staff.  The University's chief

        planning officer is the only permanent member of the Council.  A

        member of his staff should be included in an ex officio capacity to

        provide any needed technical advice or data.  The formal

        composition of the Council should consist of four (4) elected

        faculty representatives from the Institutional Development

        Committee of the Faculty Senate, two (2) faculty appointed by the

        Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs in consultation with the

        Senate Executive Committee, two (2) administrators appointed by the

        Chancellor, and one (1) student representative appointed by the

        Student Government Association Senate in consultation with the Vice

        Chancellor for Student Affairs.  



        The initial appointments of the two faculty and two administrators

        should be for two and three years with all succeeding appointments

        for three years.  Initially, the Institutional Development

        Committee faculty member appointments should be with one-year

        appointments, 1 with a two-year appointment, and 1 with a three

        year appointment.  Each succeeding appointment would then be for

        three years.  The student representative will serve a one-year

        appointment.  For the balance of the 1981-82 academic year the

        Planning Council should consist of the five elected Faculty Senate

        members of the Institutional Development Committee, one appointed

        faculty member, and two appointed administrators.  



        The initial meeting of the Planning Council should be prior to the

        end of the Fall Semester, 1981-1982.
