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
  • Educational Affairs: Friday 9/2 11am in Teams (click here to attend Educational Affairs)  —Laurel Lacroix
  • Diversity/Equity/Inclusion: Thursday 9/8 2pm in Teams (click here to attend DEI)  —Melissa Miller-Waters
  • Student Success: TBD —Dorothy Muhammad 
  • IT: TBD —Shawn Trumbo
  • Graduation: Wednesday 8/31 in Teams (click here to attend Graduation) —Nikky Boutte-Heiniluoma
  • Professional Development: this group already met
  • Finance: Nathan Smith calls this group as he sees fit

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.
