1. Election of the Senate Steering Committee Member (1 member for Winter 2012 replacing Henry Aigbedo) -- Senate Elections Committee
The Senate needs to fill one vacancy on the Senate Steering Committee for. The only limitation on electability of senators to this Committee is that no more than two may be elected from any one organized faculty and therefore faculty members from the College of Arts and Sciences cannot be considered to fill this position. The Steering Committee normally meets twice a month (Tuesday afternoons from 1:00 to 3:00) to set the Senate agenda, refer business to Senate committees and receive reports from those bodies and advise the Senate on governance issues; it may also meet occasionally during the summer.
If you wish to nominate someone, please establish in advance that the person is willing to serve. A list of Senate members is available on the Senate webpage.
Current membership of the Steering Committee includes: Jo Reger (Winter 2012, CAS), Andrea Eis (CAS), Mark Doman (SEHS), Mike Latcha (SECS), Kris Thompson (SHS), and Henry Aigbedo (Fall 2011, SBA).
2. Motion from the Office of Graduate Study to approve a revision of graduate grading system to include new grades for students admitted to the Doctor of Medicine Degree program.
MOVED that the proposed revision to the graduate grading system be adopted.
First reading: Debatable but not eligible for final vote at this meeting.
