AGENDA

Respectfully submitted by Keith R. Kleckner for the Steering Committee.

A. Old Business
        None

B. New Business

1.  Motion from the Academic Standing and Honors Committee to expand committee membership (Ms. Wilson):

MOVED that voting membership of the Academic Standing and Honors Committee be expanded to include a fifth faculty member.

First Reading: Debatable, amendable, but not eligible for final vote at this meeting.

Comment: Current membership of this committee includes four faculty members, the Provost (or an academic official representing him), three students (non-voting), and the Vice President for Student Affairs (or designee), who is ex officio and non-voting. The burden of work confronting this group, much of it involving issues of academic policy regarding probation and dismissal, prompts its members to request the aid of another faculty member.

2 . Motion from the Steering Committee nominating certain faculty members to fill vacancies on Senate standing committees (Ms. Muir):

MOVED that the faculty nominated below be confirmed as appointed to committees and terms as specified:

a. Academic and Career Advising Committee
         Susan Hawkins to replace Mary Eddy (1988-89)

b. Campus Development and Environment Committee
         Jon Froemke to replace David Housel (1988-89)

c. General Education Committee
        William Schwab to replace Pamela,Hilbers (fall 1988)
