Faculty Senate Meeting Agenda

4:00 PM          Committee Charges 

                        A discussion of each Faculty Senate committee and its current charge and what we envision future charges to be, including final reports, etc.       

5:00 PM          Faculty Constitution Discussion

With compliance to SB 37 and restructuring of Faculty Senates throughout the state of Texas, we have crafted Bylaws that include pertinent concepts from our prior Standing Rules.  As such, our Faculty Constitution is outdated; current state law requires changes and will no longer be subject to faculty vote.  This discussion will reflect comparison of Bylaws, Standing Rules and Faculty Constitution so that the bylaws are inclusive and not contradictory.
