Our Senate Committees are beginning to convene at this point. Generally, the first meeting of the year is to elect a chair and other officers, and to receive the charge from the Senate President. Of course, any Committee is at liberty to modify and/or disregard the President’s charges, as their official duties are outlined in the Bylaws. Generally speaking, however, most Presidents give charges within the scope of a Committee’s purview, and so that rarely happens.
Here are the groups that have yet to meet, and when they are meeting:
- Compensation: Friday 9/2 1pm Central Campus SJAC140 —Leslie Comfort
- Policies: Friday 9/2 10am in Teams (click here to attend Policies/Procedures) —Daniel Dylla

We will have online sign-up sheets up very soon, but you need not actually be on a sign-up sheet to attend a Committee meeting. Indeed, all faculty are eligible to serve on Committees, adjunct as well as full-time, Senator or non-Senator.
