Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

EC 5:   Proposal to modify the University's Academic Administrative Structure

The Faculty Senate Accepts the VCAA Proposal to modify the University's academic administrative structure. The Dean of the Faculty and Dean of the Curriculum positions will be replaced and augmented by three Associate Vice Chancellors of Academic Affairs, whose authority will be to administer academic program areas that are roughly equivalent to the standing academic divisions. A fourth AVCAA (either at the assistant or associate level) will coordinate and administer specified academic areas of "curricular enhancement." Every effort should be made to make the transition cost neutral or minimal. The VCAA is requested to return to the Senate in January with a plan for rending the reorganization operational by August 1, 2003.
