1.    Senate Steering Committee election (Senate Elections Committee)

Comment:  Due to conflicts with her schedule, Judette Haddad has resigned from the Steering Committee,  thereby necessitating the election of a senator to replace her for a two-year term (one year in the case of a student).   Members continuing to serve are Vince Khapoya (College), Paul Graves (College), Nivedita Mukherji (SBA), Addington Coppin (SBA) and Robert Schwartz (SEHS)   The Senate Constitution prohibits election of more than two Steering Committee members from any one organized faculty, therefore, given the current membership of the Steering Committee, no one from the College or the School of Business Administration is eligible for election. The Steering Committee normally meets twice a month (Tuesday afternoons) to set the Senate agenda, refer business to Senate committees and receive reports from those bodies and advise the Senate on governance issues; it also meets occasionally during the spring and summer.  If you wish to nominate someone, please establish in advance that the person is willing to serve.   For a list of Senate members see the list of current senators.

2.  Procedural motion from the Steering Committee to staff Senate standing committees (Mr. Schwartz)

MOVED that the persons listed below be appointed to the committees designated for the terms specified:

Assessment Committee
    John Klemanski (Department of Political Science) to replace Larry Lilliston (Department of Psychology) 2001-2004
    Wallis Anderson (Department of Rhetoric, Journalism and Communication) to replace Ron Sudol (Department of Rhetoric, Journalism and Communication) 2001-2003
