Procedural motion: Debatable, amendable and eligible for final vote.

Comment: Nominations from the floor to fill vacancies, with the approval of the nominee, will be greatly appreciated. The names listed above, drawn principally from volunteer lists, reflect the Steering Committee's current expectations about committee membership. Veteran senators will not be surprised to find corollary motions on subsequent agendas to replace members who will be on leave. Faculty who wish to volunteer for Senate standing committees may still make their wishes known to the Steering Committee and will be considered as vacancies arise. When considering the overall balance of these committees, it is important to remember that most have student and administrative members as well as faculty elected by the Senate.

2. Procedural motion from the Steering Committee to elect faculty representatives to theUniversity’s Police Oversight Committee (Mr.Braunstein )

MOVED that the following persons be elected to serve as faculty representatives on the university’s Police Oversight Committee for the terms specified:

    Robert Schwartz (School of Education and Human Services)
    1 Vacancy

Procedural motion: Debatable, amendable and eligible for final vote.

Comment: The University is required by Michigan law to establish a Police Oversight Committee staffed by elected representatives of the university community. The Committee’s function is to investigate any charges of inappropriate police behavior.

E.  Good and welfare.
