Committee Work-in-Progress (Nominees
to Standing Committees)
In selecting nominees, FWDC used
information generated from committee preferences, as well as taking into
consideration who has not been on committees and who would be good on a
particular committee. Within the ILS
Intensive Subcommittees, FWDC staggered the terms as it felt was most logical
for continuity. This was necessary to do
because the Senate changed the terms to four years and added two Intensive
Subcommittees (Topical and Colloquium).
Dr. Konz noted that after next
academic year one-half of the members of ILS-Writing will roll off. He suggested appointing one person for
another year and one person for another two years, so that two members will roll
off each year. Dr. Pearson said FWDC
considered this and decided it would be best to wait until next spring and see
who was interested in serving an additional year as opposed to staggering terms
that were already established. FWDC will
take this into consideration and will work with ILS-Writing. Dr. Konz asked if FWDC’s
intent was to have one person appointed for one year at that point. Dr. Pearson said yes, or reappointed for an
additional year, or something similar.
The Faculty Senate approved the
following FWDC nominations to Standing Committees:

First Reading
The following document was
considered for First Reading:
IDC 1 Revised: UNCA Mission Statement
Ms. Nelms said IDC 1 (revised)
has gone before the UPC, the Student Government Association, and the Chancellor’s
Staff Advisory Council.
Dr. Dohse
said the Senate has a good rule that requires documents to have first and
second readings. This gives Senators
time to peruse and reflect on proposals.
The Senate will hold a Special meeting on May 7, 2009, with one item on
the agenda: Second reading and
discussion on IDC 1. Senators who can
not attend the meeting are asked to send comments.
VII. Committee Assignment Preferences
Dr.
Dohse asked Senators to submit their committee preferences.
The
Executive Committee will convene at the close of this meeting to set committee
assignments.
